... but please, please, please can you put a stop to posters posting pictures of their genitals?

In light of what has happened, we've decided to no longer allow any of the 'medical opinion', etc, images you've described. Thanks very much for your input

Just seen this bit, and glad you (apparently) can't do that anymore
Don't think it was a good idea in the first place though.

Why even have the photo option anyway?!
Why on earth would you post photos of intimate body issues on here anyway, to a massive international public forum?!
We're not all medical professionals, go speak to your doctor instead! Far too many weirdos out there.

Thank you @BeckyAMumsnet - yes, I've read the updates about the images coming via links, so good to know that we can upload pictures safely. (At least let's hope so ...)

And thank you very much for confirming people can no longer post pictures of their bits and pieces!

I also don't want to see the contents of

womens pants
sanitary towels
toilets
babys nappies

If nothing else it attracts trolls and perverts

Hi @BIWI the issue here wasn't images being uploaded, it was links posted from an external site that allowed a preview of the image here. Turning off images would not have prevented this and since the image itself was never hosted by us, it did not go through our AI filters. We've since taken steps to prevent this.

@Lemsipper and @RainingRoses I'm very aware of that - and because of it, MNHQ suspended the ability to post pictures, in the early hours of this morning, after they'd deleted the CSA images.

But already we can post pictures again. Presumably MNHQ believe they've sorted out the issue?

Now, it would seem, is an opportunity to also stop people posting pictures of their genitals.

They need to stop the poo in nappy pictures too. There is no need to post such things and I'm pretty sure 90% it's some weirdo pervert.

Equally the 'What is this discharge?' type of photos.... see your doctor ffs.

I’d rather they do better at stopping images of child sex abuse uploaded on their site. That’s now two nights it’s happened in the space of a week or so.

Lemsipper · 15/02/2025 14:26

Yep and Child abuse images were posted last night again at 2am

Absolutely agree @Meecrowahvey

Hopefully. I remember someone posted a really gross graphic photo of their wide open vagina showing absolutely everything and MNHQ came onto the thread and told us all off for calling the OP out.
