What would you bar on MN

[Happyeachday]

Lighthearted obviously .

So if you could bar anything emojis a topic etc on mumsnet what would it be.

I would bar all grammar checkers you know the ones that quote you and tell you to go back to school instant bar.

The constant treads about child maintenance.

And the double standards that women are always right on here.

What would you bar on mumsnet.

Well now I do

"No?" or "hope that helps" at the end of a comment both make my blood boil. Also referring to someone as "hun", because it seems to almost always be used with a nasty, patronising tone.
I hate "batshit crazy" and the new one "weaponised incompetence", just because they're overused.
There are way too many dog hate threads on MN lately, and the obsessive insistence that all dogs bark all the time, smell and drool is getting ridiculous.

Man here ....

I don’t mind the initials, sometimes I use them, other times I don’t. But it’s when people use them to mean something different to the norm, eg DD for their dad, DS for their sister, and I don’t know whether DF means their father, their friend or their fiancé/e, so it’s sometimes very hard to tell what’s going on.

And I’ve just realised that I use GF for girlfriend but it could mean grandfather so perhaps others don’t understand my posts either.

I do! Love all the pet pics but especially puppies and kittens.

I would ban using the phrase RTFT (read the fucking thread).

I've received warnings for being a lot less rude than that, but nobody ever gets a warning for this phrase.

I do think people need pulling up on not reading things properly but it's just a very rude way to say it.

I thought it was Read the FULL thread ?

Some people choose to read that as read the full thread, @Ficklebricks.

HTH 😏

ETA: cross-posted with a polite person!

I’ve used it as read the full thread, not read the fucking thread. I didn’t know that was a thing.

It's read the full thread.

And really necessary when so many don't read the full thread and even worse, haven't even read the OPs posts but steamed in.

Cancel the cheque was a case in point.

This. All this.

The way people talk to the op with a capital Y for you. It comes across as impatient l bossy and patronising, like the person replying can't believe they have to answer.

"You do this straight away, then You do this other thing obviously, then You parent your children of course."

The use of abit, alot, aswell.

Same difference. 😸

Afew

It's not though.

One is an aggressive demand, one is advice.

If you made up your own aggressive version of an acronyym which wasn't aggressive then yeah, there's a big difference.

It's not made up though

proselytizing and/or essay responses 🙄

So did i

Boasting. It’s vulgar and cringy.

Threads where the OP doesn't say who they are and/or refuses to state the gender of anybody involved. If you think responders are so biased or easily swayed why do you want their views anyway?

"give your head a wobble". Or any other version of that phrase. It's a fucking stupid phrase - I have never heard anyone use it in real life.

All the incessant slut shaming.

Prejudice against posters who appear to be working class.

I know this has been said, but "first post nails it". Who can be bothered to type that out?

The thinly veiled racism you sometimes see on here.

The insistence on the importance of selfishness as a moral virtue. How right wing it is overall, I suppose.

"My house, my rules." So disgustingly tyrannical.

(I realise some of these are light hearted and some are very serious. I do like lots of things on here as wellm but these things grate).

I don’t usually get overly annoyed about posters quoting the entire OP - other stuff irritates me more - but I have just been on a thread where the very lengthy OP was posted in the FIRST reply. Why? There’s nobody else there. It’s all empty space. WHY?😅

I did too. But apparently it’s not, according to the link above. So, if I give my opinion on something with the caveat that I haven’t RTFT, I’m in fact saying I haven’t ‘read the fucking thread’. Oh dear🤣
