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?

GetOrfMoiLand - no, I think they are much more frightened of us than they care to admit! Like a huge party they threw that has got out of control...

GetOrfMoiLand · 16/02/2011 20:49

I love contentious threads - where everyone piles in and has a go an MNHQ (best one is the Daily Mail thread last year).

I always like to think that Justine mutters 'oh you lot can go FUCK yourselves' and makes to switch off ther power to the servers, and gets strongarmed by the tech guys.

LaCuntingWeasel · 16/02/2011 20:56

Which Daily Mail thread? Think I missed it...

Bonsoir · 16/02/2011 20:57

I'm afraid that I think that the absence of denial of wrongdoing from MNHQ is very suspect indeed!

Buda · 16/02/2011 20:58

LOL Getorf - yup. MN is a monster that has grown and is now out of control. Was a cuddly little lion cub in the beginning but now look at it! 55 million tonnes of opinions. Scary!

I bet they're terribly busy deleting all posts started by trolls Justine Wink

ColdHeartedBitch · 16/02/2011 21:07

Or are having a mini meltdown with all the interesting name changes that have been going on in the last 48hrs Grin

I remember the daily mail thread. It got ugly. They had to speak to their legal people and everything. People flounced.

Justine Shock

You've let us down
You've let MNHQ down
But most of all you've let yourself down young lady.

MNHQ are obviously desperately trying to ignore this thread, and hoping that it will all go away and Justine's trolling be forgotten in the annals of MN history...

Mumsnut · 18/02/2011 10:46

Look, it was Mr Justine, ok, borrowing dw's log-on. At least it wasn't about Bumsex .... was it?

No, we're not ignoring you; just keeping a dignified silence while we checked things out.

And we can now announce that, after rigorous checks and staggeringly technological feats of sleuthing brilliance, that Justine is not a troll.

PS: The PM system got a bit buggered snarled up when we tried to fix something else.

wordfactory · 18/02/2011 11:11

That may be the case, but you're not telling me MNHQ don't start a few threads when things are getting quiet Wink

ScaredOfCows · 18/02/2011 11:33

You know this thread is going to disappear sometime soon, don't you??

Of course it is...

I've played "spot the story planted by MNHQ" for a long time Wink

ScaredOfCows · 18/02/2011 11:34

Bonsoir Grin

Any prizes for guessing the disappearance time?

Bonsoir · 18/02/2011 11:37

They'll wait until people have stopped posting and it isn't active and then it will all mysteriously disappear.

Now that's the MN I know and love Grin

This is all a bit 'Matrix' isn't it! Think MNHQ will shortly be inventing a 'blue pill' thread to make us all forget.....
