All normal and unwritten MN rules are suspended for 24 hours.

You can troll-hunt.
You can start threads about threads about threads about threads.
You can call your spouse “hubby”.

What’s the first rule you break?

Start a thread about a thread. I never understand why this isn’t allowed if it takes an idea from a thread but goes in a different direction. The original thread gets clogged up with slightly off topic stuff so a new thread makes total sense.

Parking thread but no diagrams...

Timeforabiscuit · 05/08/2022 20:55

I'm going to chat shit about the royals, absolutely baseless stuff, But just the fact that mumsnet couldnt zap it...

To be able to shout 'cheap arsed journo or troll' at posters who type out a slightly funny/quirky situation they have experienced, but their last sentence is... 'please share your funny stories/quirky situations/disasters'.

Post in the Litter Tray and refuse to add a photograph

LynetteScavo · 05/08/2022 20:57

I'm going to start so many threads about threads and even threads about those threads and then yell TROLL!!! several times.

HoneyyBadger · 05/08/2022 20:57

Publicly name and shame the person who has been causing me so much stress and anxiety over the last few years. Publicly post all their horrible texts to me and not have to name change after every single post/ reply I do!

I'd Finally let others see exactly what type of person they are which is a dangerous liar!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 05/08/2022 20:57

Ban posters who start a thread then don’t come back to it.

Ban posters who don’t come back to their thread and tell us which baby name they decided to go with 😂

And the ones who say I'll do another pregnancy test in the morning and post an update! 🤬

Getting my troll hunting gear on.
Mumsnet's obsession with banning troll hunters before trolls is ridiculous.

TheBatwoman · 05/08/2022 21:02

Question- why can’t you say hubby? DH sounds a bit ridiculous, especially considering 99% of posts using it seem to be complaining about him!

Full disclosure: I don’t fully understand the lingo. I have a wife - or DW, maybe, I think?

MakingNBaking · 05/08/2022 21:02

I'm gonna comment on a packed lunch thread that Tesco 10 wafer thin slices of honey roast ham reformed and packed in a protective atmosphere are bloody lovely in a sammich.
Up yours naice ham!

HooverIsAlwaysBroken · 05/08/2022 21:06

I would start a thread in AIBU about a situation where I clearly was unreasonable (time of month coming up).

And then call anyone who disagreed with me a troll !

Juicesausagecake · 05/08/2022 21:07

What is a troll hunter?

JennyForeigner · 05/08/2022 21:08

Not going to add a diagram.

WouldJudasLeaveIt · 05/08/2022 21:08

Writing "oh shut the fuck up 🙄" to certain posters.

Sparklingbrook · 05/08/2022 21:09

Post 'Chinny Reckon' on about 75% of threads on here. Grin

Youaremysunshine14 · 05/08/2022 21:09

Come up with an AIBU that's so obviously me being U and then spend 40 pages arguing that everyone else is wrong.

What is a troll hunter?

It’s somebody who posts in the thread stating that they disbelieve the OP and think that the thread was started by a troll.

MN doesn’t allow troll hunting and asks that threads are reported instead.

That's several steps too far!

toopicky · 05/08/2022 21:13

A thread were people actually read it and don't keep arguing about a non issue that OP clarified in their OP

KangarooKenny · 05/08/2022 21:13

Yes, threads about threads.

Alfenstein · 05/08/2022 21:15

Correctly label many of those using the FWR topic.

I always find it odd that TWAW can be used on this site with negative connotations behind it but the reverse will get you banned
