If you (still) feel the need to discuss Moldies [part 2]

I am feeling personally so much more cheerful since OBM's revelation

I think all members of MN ought to be emailed with a direct link to her post.

That way everyone will start laughing and it'll all be over.

Oh, ok - add the huns and royalties feature to the list of nightmarish moldy qualities

Having digested Aitch's valiant explanations of how it all worked as well as the posts of the various ex-moldies, morningpaper's conclusion seems the most apt: it's just not cricket. I can see that it seemed like a good idea to set up moldies for some people who wanted a safe place to chat with their friends, but sadly the result seems quite nightmarish what with the shifting sands of deletable posts, unexplained refused nominations, and popularity polls conducted on ones friends. I'm prepared to believe that this was because of some bad decisions rather than any malicious intent, but the result is the same.

Anyway, thank you aitch for putting up with my questions and explaining it all again - my curiosity is quite satisfied.

(In such a shock I became befuzzled, meant OBM not OMB!)

the rumours are growing fast!
I heard someone was kicked off for swearing

The very concept of 'royaly' and 'hun' is abhorrent. And, in the name of, FUN. I dont find that funny. At all. So what was the next phase? Would aposter with too many 'huns' find themselves auto-deregistered, or would they be privately vetoed by those adorned in 'royalties' and quietly advise that perhaps 'it wasnt the place for them? I am so intrigued; the palace place sounds, eerr so 'cosy' and 'special' and 'exclusive'.

OMB
Did posters then know what their number was?

Snort at tickers

it has become parody of its own ..er something

hoist by its own p'tard

or whatever they call it

Lonestranger-just to say I agree with the sentiments you expressed in your earlier post (the one you made in the early hours of this morning!).

does it have tickers too?
arf.

Hi Geraldine

HNY to you as well!

Onebat, now just listen. If you had posted that 2 weeks ago we might have avoided at least 5,000 of the subsequent posts because people would have gone erm

no thankyou, we don't really want an invite.

OBM, please tell me you are joking. I am sitting here in disbelief. Never had any interest in what actaully happened there, as for me that was not the point. Now, thinking back to my last post, i find this all so disgusting.

BTW, cant see this thread ending when it hits 1000?

OBM-it is sounding worse and worse....

ergh onebat that is so bleurgh. I'm sure the intention was mitford in joke, but it's just tacky.

OBM - that's pretty vile. Yeurgh.

rev,i didn; tknow it existed until yesterdays thread

Lulu - set me straight! Are you a moldie, woman, or not??!

Lulumama people who were vetoed don't know!! They (we, i?) don't know whether their/our/my names ever came up so none the wiser.

So move on. Why torture oneself about whether anyone even considered thinking about inviting you to the party?!

have we heard about huns and royalty yet? If this is to be the last of the threads we may as well get every ghastly detail out there in the public domain...

Each poster had a counter below their avatar. If other posters liked the quality of the post, they could add one 'royalty' point anonymously. If they didn't like it, they could add a 'hun' point anonymously.

No-one seemed to have a problem with it but me and most said they thought it was just a bit of fun, but I thought it added to the general feeling of judgeyness..

Or has this already been menitoned?

don't worry sinkingfast.
everything i post on here is ignored as well.
best leave them to it.

Lulu, you're right, it is probably the nastiest aspect of the whole thing. But I didn't know you were a member?

I hope you're not leaving MN, I'd miss you.

I thought it was quite a good idea

Hunker I don't think you can fairly say they are 'fine' with it on the basis of a few posts Justine made here initially - she said she cried herself to sleep!!

How on earth do you jump from that to 'fine'?

I'm sorry but when I first joined MN I was full of respect for some people, and the way they are talking now just makes me realise how wrong I was to hold them in such a loght. There is a lot of anger coming across that I don't feel is particularly defensible.

i can tell it's wrong....and i haven't been there for one second!

i might be alot of things...unwordly/childlike (ummm..i wonder who called me that?)...but i would never have joined a site where some of my mates would be judged and told to get lost...all behind their backs...
