Original poster

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?

We've asked tech to look at this. Seems like a glitch Grin

@Bonsoir

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...

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.

@Rhinestone

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

Ooh, tempting...

@Eleison

Careful, I bet Helen has slipped the blue pill into the Mug emoticon.

That's why we changed it from a cup, Eleison. More liquid to dissolve it in...

@ledodgy

You still haven't confirmed that Justine is in fact Justin. Grin

We have no reason to suspect that Justine is anything other than a genuine poster.

Justin, on the other hand...

@GlynistheGimmer

please explain to me something...

OP went to PM ANother..but got the 'why not send an email to MNHQ instead' type gubbins and because of this you reckon JustineMumsNet is a troll?

so you went to PM a troll Grin

as you were

No, no, no

In truth, tis all my fault Shock

We've just realise that some people have been PMing Justine but not getting a reply because Justine is far too incompetent busy to open her inbox.

So we asked NikitaTech to set up an automatic thingy that told you, if you tried to PM Justine, that it's not the best way to get hold of her.

But it went a bit wrong. And for 20 horrid seconds, people were getting that message whoever they tried to PM...

NikitaTech has just about got over the shock...

HelenMumsnet · 18/02/2011 17:43

Well, that's the truth. Honest guvnor.

Not sure the MNHQer who got back to you knew much about it, though. She was working from home and probably didn't see NikitaTech turn white.

It may have been longer than 20seconds, tbh. I was sparing her blushes
