The Purge: MN

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?

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'.

Yes, this.

Writing “dear god nobody knows and nobody cares” to every “nub theory” post.

I don’t know why I find them so irrationally irritating.

Or writing "buy a fucking digital test" on "line eyes needed, is this a positive?" posts.

It's sad they get their hopes up because everyone wades in to tell them they see the nonexistent line.

Nidan2Sandan · 05/08/2022 21:34

I'm making up that many bat shit mental stories about neighbour disputes that the lazy journalists will have a field day!!

Daily mail will think all their christmases came at once!

MsTSwift · 05/08/2022 21:37

To rail against the dull names everyone seems to pick the same few “What do people think of the name Eve/Lily/Olivia/Isabel?”. Bloody boring done to death try again.

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

Sparklers there was a prog on R4 recently about dialect/accents and they were looking at Portsmouth and 'chinny/chinny reckon' was mentioned. I sniggered a little.

MNettersForNoahAndFiona · 05/08/2022 21:39

I would name names on my threads for Noah Donohoe.
I would also openly call out for what they are racist bigots lacking in compassion posting on my threads and/or reporting my threads.

I have been very restrained. I have had to be. But it is fecking hard at times.

titchy · 05/08/2022 21:43

I'm going to resurrect a shitload of threads from 2005 and offer my advice...

Oh god, I’d just shout “no it’s fucking negative, you only ovulated two days ago! Test when your period is late like normal people”

Whether you are pregnant or aren’t, knowing three days early isn’t going to change anything.

ThreeRingCircus · 05/08/2022 21:44

Remove the "Snapped and farted" thread. It isn't funny and it never was.

I'd remove all the trolls pretending to be funny.

And then I'd ban anyone saying hubs or putting a x at the end of their post.

Me too!

As many as possible.... Grin

Iamconfuzzled · 05/08/2022 21:45

Love this question - I was thinking about this the other day! I think I'd do a bit of light trolling. I would create a few threads based on the plots from movies. I'd probably start with more niche films where the plot would be quite believable and work my way up to the more popular less believable films. You know the odd 'AIBU for not letting my partner share the wooden plank' or 'My icy sister has cut me out of her life since we were children, WWYD?'. The fun part would be to see if I could write them in a way that they were believable and would get serious responses.

I'd probably reply to threads in the same way too.

BuffScrag · 05/08/2022 21:46

I’d reply with loads of eye roll emojis under some of the rather self important posters’ pronouncements

I’d send multiple pizzas round to the houses of some of the blatant male trolls who haunt certain threads

I’d require the journalists to pay us for quotes instead of just lifting them

RooniIWazlib · 05/08/2022 21:01

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

Me too.

If there's something strange in your neighbourhood, who you gonna call? Trollhunters!

titchy · 05/08/2022 21:48

I'm going to create a thread in AMA called 'I'm a MN moderator: AMA'

Parking thread but no diagrams...

Post about Meghan Markle and why I think she's fake

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 05/08/2022 21:53

There's few posters who seem to intentional go against everyone else just for an argument. I'd like to tell them to fuck off

Ticktocktuck · 05/08/2022 21:55

Start a war with mn trolls and a collaboration with kiwi farms

I would obviously be stroking my imaginary beard while typing it in. Grin
