Please can we have a topic that I can hide, where people can ask all about poo (maybe call that one BumsNet) and blood and all other manner of bodily fluids and afflictions.

I'm getting queasy as I get older and some of the thread titles make me feel sick. 🤢

Bumsnet is better than below the belt. Bellow the belt will attract unsavories

I think Bumsnet is the best thing I've ever come up with on the spur of the moment 🤣

I'd volunteer to move them, providing I didn't need to click on them 🙃

Show quote history

I would also volunteer to move all the off topic threads but that's not an option!

Most posters would still use AIBU/chat though and MNHQ doesn't move off-topic threads.

Yes from me. I’m not normally in favour of creating yet another topic which threads won’t be moved into from AIBU/chat but I’m sick of seeing threads with photos of people’s genitals, poo and blood clots.

Hello again, have you given any more thought to my request for such a topic?

After seeing a title of a thread in which someone has posted graphic photos of their periods and it putting me off my Vodka and coke (It's OK, I'm on holiday so I'm allowed to drink in the afternoon and I didn't click on the photos).

I've come up with a new name suggestion now as a result if you don't like Bumnset, as it's not inclusive to front bits, then how about 'below the belt?'

Honestly, I know some people must be desperate (or just not genuine) to post these things but, I don't need putting off my Vodka (or tea or diet coke if I'm not on holiday)in the middle of the afternoon. Please let them all be in their own topic 😭

Edited

@HebeMumsnet have you seen my latest message? I think it's reasonable and I have one more person in support 🙏

Bumsnet: for... intimate... effluvia.

I also agree, really. I'm a dedicated sporner but I'm glad it's contained in its corner.^

AutumnCrow · 17/10/2024 14:58

Suggested board names from pp, and a couple from me:

TMI
Below the Belt
Trigger Warning Central
Arse Trolls and Fluid Fetishists
Bumsnet

SamBeckett · 17/10/2024 14:49

How about TMI as a name ?

Oh I have found my people (love “Bumsnet”).

absolutely hate seeing this stuff in active. If had a consistent place for it to go / be moved to that would be amazing.

I've just clicked an another one but this had an innocuous title but was about blood. Please @mnhq can we have a separate topic now???

Agree

could be hidden from active as well so the people who want to seek out this stuff can do so.

some of the titles.

jfc

thanks OP. I thought it was just me.

Thank you too 😊 some of the titles are just grim and conjure up images you don't want to imagine.

There was one this morning where the op was probably really worried but no, I don't want to see a photo thank you. If it was in a separate topic, I wouldn't have to think about it as it would be well and truly hidden for me.

Just bumping this.

If we can’t have a separate topic, can we please at least have the ability to hide threads without clicking on them? It’s possible to do that from Active but not from individual boards, as far as I can see.

I use the mobile page and can hide them without clicking on them thankfully.

Please do this. The titles alone make me ill.

definitely, i dislike such things, even the mention of them, very much.
so hive them off somewhere, and please MN, make it easy for old fogeys like me to be able to hide the whole lot.
thank you .

Exactly. It's not enough to put a warning on a photo as even the title goes too much info away.

Itscatsallthewaydown · 21/03/2024 13:02

Agreed. I’m not interested in seeing anyone’s bum grapes thank you very much.

tobee · 21/03/2024 13:00

Yes I agree! There's been a plethora of this kind of thing recently; gross photos of fluids etc - god knows why! There should be a minimum gigantic klaxon warning but how to enforce that?

Also, sometimes you think I could help but I can't face looking
