TECH, please can we have a facility to hide posters who...

just spotted it thanks very much MN

any thoughts mn towers?

two people bitoffun.....? who's the other one..?

jumente...iv'e never wanted to know what it means...sure it's vile..

Changing your name and posting on this thread specifically to cause offence to the OP and like-minded people?

Nice....

Abouteve - don't - it's not interesting, it will make you feel ill, and you just Don't Want To Know - trust me!

I think Mamazon's assessment sounds about right- looking for notoriety. It would be a shame for Anyfucker to have to namechange because some numpty has gone Too Far- her name regularly crops up on threads of names people love, and it lends itself to seasonal changes so well. So I don't want a blanket policy on the whole issue- if somebody is deliberately upsetting and offending people and refusing to back down, let Justine send one of her slap them on the wrist emails with the Miss Greyling tone and tell them they're letting MN down but mostly themselves etc etc. And then don't let them namechange for a while.

I know at least two people on this thread have been banned from namechanging

Thought this was a bit of a storm in a teacup and then looked at my 'threads I'm on' and it is a bit grim and offensive...

And other people can tell me that its just words and that I shouldnt be offended but thats really upto me isnt it? I think its the unspoken violence behind the name thats offensive anyway - as other people have been saying - the context.

on the subject of names

fruitshootsandLEAVES please look here

sorry about the thread hijack

as you were

OK will have to wait until I get home it's coming up as adult content. Anyone want to enlighten me?

Please don't censor the site or the names.

When my dc's get to the stage of being able to read I've accepted I won't be able to MN when they are being nosy. I swear like a squaddie when they aren't around, but am Mary Poppins in front of them.

I have to google dragonbutter now.

Trin it is nice to see you x

I will just add that I really, really really can't stand the name 'dragon b*tter and it makes me feel sick every time I see it

Only because I googled it about 3 years ago(thanks to that poster!)

I like the posted but not the name and I think it would be nice if it went, personally...because I find I can't go near any threads they are on.

Can I keep my name please? It's my identity and it's to ward off the DM cut-n-pasters. Not that I have anything of interest to say that would ever make it to print, but we on the Mid 30s TTC thread do sometimes live up to the stereotype of being Barren Evil Selfish Hags, something the DM may take advantage of

Cant say I have seen anything which offends me - although it's right to moderate racist or violent names.

QueenOfFuckingEverything, if you give up your name can I have it???

MN time is my time and the kids have been taught to not read over my shoulder.

Whether the swear words are on the threads or in the name it's my responsibility to keep kids from seeing them.

it scuppers chances of making the roundup! There may be a few name changes to come after all?.............

lol daftpunk.

agree wholeheartedly with slub, mp, nao and mamazon. esp about the boring bumsex, mp. it does seem that this is a cruder place, tbh.

i think in the "old days" people with unusual or interesting names delivered what they promised....

Are adults not allowed to be offended?

hear hear Mamazon

Things were much better in the old days. Really they were. fingers crossed

shush! off you go!

is it? i dont think it has anything to do with longevity.

i think that someone has seen that people with unusual or funny names are more easily recognisable and maybe become more notorious...maybe even MN royalty
and have tried to get on the band wagon, they have just got it very wrong

If this is turning into a 'things were better in the old days' then I'm off [yawn]

well i can see why people would be offended by CW but realy i just read it as "Gillette" now.

It is attempting to be shocking but its just lazy.

its not an inspired or creative name. it holds no water compared to say Tsarchasm/ Sheikyerbouti etc etc.

its ok for a particular thread or to be funny for a short period but after half an hour it becomes pointless.

and this is from someone taht swears like a trooper and considers the word cunt to be one of her most used words and most certainly her favourate.

I fucking hope you dont start censoring shit

seriously, really please dont

just teach your kids to stop reading over your shoulder, its rude
