The other thread has just been hidden, MNHQ looking at it, so this one may well disappear, too.

Actually, it seems that they do!

I stand corrected! It seems their "very best" has actually been sent to start a thread, and is doing abysmally, even for a semi-bot - absolutely hilarious,

Head and chair of governors must resign | Mumsnet

I agree this is very poor form on MNHQs part. I’m also not buying that it was an old hacked phone, not when there are multiple accounts involved.

MNHQ would know which account the posts came from. And whether they came from this person's log in or not. If they had they would have posted on here. Not left it to the account to inform people about what happened.

They never send their brightest, do they?

Actually, it seems that they do!

GreyskySexRealistsky · 18/05/2026 22:42

I know no one's been harmed as such and posters' responses were pretty robust (as might be expected from FWR posters!) but this relates to an electoral process AND it's a breach of MN's regulations, so surely they should have said something?

This is really poor of MNHQ (if it is really them).
They don't sound like they're taking it seriously. They themselves should have put a message on the thread to explain.

Yes and not just taken an individuals word for it…bizarre all round

DowryofBlood · 18/05/2026 22:34

Whatever’s going on, it’s very poor of MN not to clear it up themselves. How are we supposed to know what to believe?

Edit: Sorry @GreyskySexRealistsky I see you’ve already said essentially the same thing.

What age is this nephew?

He’s 17.

I’ve been on MN under this name since at least 2020. I’m sure there’s a way of checking my old posts. They’re all very boring.

I suppose it doesn’t really matter if you’re genuine or not because no one bought the PMs so there was no real harm done.

Thank you.

I take it back then! However, it still doesn’t mean what that poster is saying is true abut it being their nephew. Very odd way for MN behave.

Show quote history

It is odd I agree. I presume they have done their usual checks behind the scenes but TSSDNCOP and all that.

I know I can’t make you believe me. I can’t offer any further proof.

That’s not proof it was actually your nephew though is it? It’s just the story you’re selling MN.

I actually had a response to a report directing me to that posters response on this thread - it seems to be true.

They gave it away when they said MN had directed them to this thread to explain themselves. I’ve never known MN do any such thing.
