Most of the threads I see started should be in chat. They are clogging the board!

YANBU.

AgentZigzag · 11/02/2011 15:44

YABU, anyone can post anything anywhere.

I was thinking of starting one on the morals of having an alien swingers sesh, where would that fit then if not in the catch all AIBU section??

taintedpaint · 11/02/2011 15:48

Oh, you've just read Gabby's Trevor Bailey thread, right?

YANBU, unless there's a question in some form at least, I don't think the thread should be on this board.

Chil1234 · 11/02/2011 15:58

YANBU... report inappropriate posts and ask for them to be moved. Doesn't always work but you can try.

HecateQueenOfWitches · 11/02/2011 15:59

It drives me bonkers and I wish I had the tech skills to hack into mumsnet and file everything correctly.

However. Most people post in here because most people post in here. Everyone is in here so it is seen as the place to get most replies.

The problem is there are too many topics. Imagine a hotel with a thousand rooms and people wanting to party.

Do they go two or three to a room, to make full use of the entire hotel, or do they find where the most people are and join them? Then more people come along. Do they go to an empty room, or do they cram into the room that's the busiest and seems to be having the most fun?

MNHQ trying to break mn down into every possible topic of conversation and give each a segment is not working.

yanbu

it irritates me too

GabbyLoggon · 11/02/2011 16:01

I dont take it that seriously. But I can respect your opinion, tainted

We could have a miscelaneous thread.

Or pott pouri.

Or for the coarser posters: Say what you friggin want.

I welcome the freedom mumsnet offers;so I shall not become a self appointed Head Prefect.

That said, it takes all sorts. "Gabby"

PS I rather like Lauren Laverne. Bet she has a 7 foot bloke in tow.

coldtits · 11/02/2011 16:03

i don't want to regulate people though.

I want them to regulate themselves Grin

I think YABU. I reckon that most people post here when they already know the answer to AIBU. It's a chatboard and perhaps this section should be re-named.

GabbyLoggon · 11/02/2011 16:06

Fair enough, coldtits. But thats a relative request.

I mean, Coldtits: In general, what laws are you breaking? Hand on heart, shame the devil. Like your name

coldtits · 11/02/2011 16:09

But there is a chatboard. A chatboard that nobody is using, because they are glurging all over this board instead. The chatboard is helpfully called 'Chat'.

HecateQueenOfWitches · 11/02/2011 16:12

I've already explained it.

My Word Is Law

Acknowledge me, Acknowledge me...

GabbyLoggon · 11/02/2011 16:13

Lets turn this into a non-sensorial thread.

That would be an achievement.

I used to ask for the C-word to be kicked but now I leave it to the Management.

Failing that, can we all club togather and buy a brother to mumsnet for ourselves. My fiver is waiting. Neat and crisp.

I suppose in reality all thingsa in life blend into each other. (philosophy does not seem to play on mumsnet)

It does on some sites cheers "Gabby"

FreakoidOrganisoid · 11/02/2011 16:14

The ones that annoy me are the ones that don't even make sense

eg AIBU that school gave dd fishfingers for lunch?

AYBU to be thrilled that school gave dd fishfingers?

or to be annoyed?

or to suspect?

or perhaps to complain

What exactly are you being unreasonable about???

HecateQueenOfWitches · 11/02/2011 16:16

nothing, and they don't think they are.

They want to chat and are trying to make their thread title somehow fit.

hotel - rooms - party...

AgentZigzag · 11/02/2011 16:17

Working out WTF they're trying to be unreasonable about is half the fun frakoid.

The other half is telling them they are and watching them argue the toss.

this thread should be CHAT,.

HecateQueenOfWitches · 11/02/2011 16:23

about frigging time, people. Grin

bibbitybobbityhat · 11/02/2011 16:24

YA so N BU!

When I can be bothered I always post

"and this is in AIBU because ...?

I V much want people to self regulate. I do so completely agree with you. Infact I think I love you a little bit Grin.

GabbyLoggon · 11/02/2011 16:26

What is CHAT better than this ? I doubt it

And "ganging up " is usually morally wrong..

You will have compulsory tory voting next

GMajor7 · 11/02/2011 16:29
