  • Post non-AIBU stuff in AIBU rather than the relevant section, usually Chat. No point having sections if people keep posting in AIBU as default and effectively turning it into another Chat.
  • Ask questions that are clearly answered in the OP’s first post (that appear on the top of each page!)
  • Say “if that’s all you have to worry about…” etc
  • Nit pick over irrelevant details rather than give any constructive help
  • Resurrect zombie posts from years ago, especially time-sensitive ones, eg baby issue ones where the baby is now 10!

Yes I’m bored. Yes I have more important things to do and to worry about. Yes I know I’m being an awful pedant and should get a life/scroll on if I don’t like it/whatever. Yes, I’d love a zap button Grin😈

Where do you get the lightning bolts and police?

@praecantator, I'm on a Chromebook and they're on the "on-screen keyboard" which is one of the Accessibility options. Other laptops probably have similar functions.

So I got an email from MNHQ basically telling me that it's ok to report threads if you think they're in the wrong place, but you're not allowed to tell the poster that you've reported them 🤷‍♀️

I think I need to delete the app for a while.. it's giving me too much irrational rage

WTF?! I think MNHQ could do with making their minds up. It does seem to depend on who's on duty, as I've had one mod thank me and tell me they'll move the threads and another telling me they don't unless the OP wants 🙄

There's a "Do you live near the sea and a city?" thread in AIBU at the moment where the op has said "Sorry not really an aibu but wanted a big range of answers so we can explore properties". But Chat is very busy so why not post there instead of clog up AIBU?! 🙄 It happens so much it's hard not to find it annoying. Think I'll need a break soon and find another forum to waste time on 🙁
