to be [hmm] about a poster when I PM them and get this...

OK so I don't often PM people, but do occassionally.

Today I tried to PM someone and when I clicked send it came up with a message:
"Sorry but PMs aren't the quickest way to get in contact with Justine..." and went on to give an MN email address to contact her at instead.

So I'm now Hmm about the OP as the implcation from this message is that this person is someone at MNHQ posting annonymously.

I might add that I also PM someone else today and didn't get that message and have never seen it before either.

Of course it could just be a bug. But I'm still rather Hmm. Especially as the OP is posting as a dad...

What would you think?

ChippyMinton · 16/02/2011 16:33

If Justine is a man, she's jolly convincing in the flesh...

Bonsoir · 16/02/2011 16:33

I've long suspected MNHQ of inventing posters when the boards start slowing down. Now we have proof! Good for you, GillyBean2.

BuzzLiteBeer · 16/02/2011 16:33

well if you didn't its just a tech glitch so why not post in Site Stuff instead of AIBU?

I love him Corny. Actual lurve lol

slartybartfast · 16/02/2011 16:34

sssh, you will be banned bonsoir

AmazingBouncingFerret · 16/02/2011 16:35

Perhaps "Justine" is a dad and the women we see in the pictures and on the TV are just random people they have dragged off the street?? Shock Wink

CaptainNancy · 16/02/2011 16:35

What do you mean 'when the boards slow down' Bonsoir? Aren't you one of the MNConstructs? Wink

Actually, you're not here all that often these days Sad

Bonsoir · 16/02/2011 16:35

No they can't ban me, I'm one of the posters who keeps the boards moving Grin

HalfTermHero · 16/02/2011 16:35

This is possibly the most shocking incident of potential trolling EVER! Shock

cornslik · 16/02/2011 16:36

I want to be in his top 7 shirley

usualsuspect · 16/02/2011 16:37

Maybe Justine was the mystery banned poster from yesterday ,shes banned herself for trolling Shock

ShirleyKnot · 16/02/2011 16:37

cornslik · 16/02/2011 16:37

Well I just PM them again and the PM worked this time. Possibly that's why MN went down briefly a few minutes ago while they fixed it...?

I posted in AIBU because I wasn't sure if I was BU to be Hmm or whether more people felt it would simply be a bug/glitch.

It has stopped me responding to the poster because I am Hmm when I would have probably posted on the thread otherwise.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 16/02/2011 16:38

Anyone else desperate to know the mysterious posters name?

SpringHeeledJack · 16/02/2011 16:38

If I don't like someone, I always calm myself by thinking MNHQ have made them up

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 16/02/2011 16:38

MNHQ is all a big giant troll invention, eh? Thought as much.

Acanthus · 16/02/2011 16:38

Well, HQ

ImFab · 16/02/2011 16:38

I really think this is bad form and you should have emailed MNHQ privately.

slartybartfast · 16/02/2011 16:39
