Is it just me or is this place becoming over run with inbred twats ??

Excepting myself of course O:)

The trolls don't even bloody try hard

Huns, 'minging' and keep cropping up.

Grrr, I feel like stamping a 'must try harder' thingy at the top of certain posts

There are a load of twats about at the moment.

I think us old'uns should start a private members sites for long standing members.

What should we call it ... Wink

Hmm , private site?

See, before that seemed like such a terrible idea........

JaneS · 21/02/2011 13:56

Gosh, pagwatch is charming and pert and very gifted at pithy one liners and holiday packing!

minging was a perfectly reasonable Scottish word back in the day.

JaneS · 21/02/2011 13:59

Wow, much more of this and Xenia will have to start respecting me on the 'how much do you earn thread'! Excellent!

I have not been online much this weekend, so have missed all of this.

Can I suggest though, that if we see a thread that is started by someone obviously trolling that we report to MN and then hide them.

And if we see nasty posts that we challenge them.

There is a lot of "oh, MN isn't what it used to be".

Fine, but it won't get better if left unchallenged.

GetOrfMoiLand · 21/02/2011 14:06

It's not just the nasty and trolly posters, it is all the thick ones as well.

And Moldies seemed such a heinous crime at the time.

Francagoestohollywood · 21/02/2011 14:10

There's always been lots of twats around. Twats are everywhere and in the majority, imo

ImeldaSnowboots · 21/02/2011 14:20

There seems to be something about posters with numbers at the end of their name....or is it just me? Hmm [looks out old episodes of X-files] [i'll just get my banjo..]

allsquareknickersnofurcoat · 21/02/2011 14:23

I spotted that Imelda !!

JohnSmith4589 thinks that all benefits claimants are scrounging.....

Pagwatch · 21/02/2011 14:25

And have you noticed how posters with cute names are often fucking vile.

Obviously, obviously not always!

But sometimes it will be sweetiemummypie23 who wants people with adhd forcibly sterilised. That kind of thing.

GMajor7 · 21/02/2011 14:26

Er, might namechange to GMajor then!

ShirleyKnot · 21/02/2011 14:29

I got accused of being a bully on Friday because I was saying that people on benefits shouldn't be run over by big tractors (or something)

This place has gone loopy.

MN has definitely gone a bit odd atm

ChippingInNeedsCoffee · 21/02/2011 14:37

Pag - I'll be watching out for my invite Grin

Francagoestohollywood · 21/02/2011 14:40

I don't find it odder (or is it more odd???) than usual.
I find there is a higher number of right wing people than there used to be, but I understand that it might not be a problem for others.

There's one at the moment who was privately educated to protect her from the negative effects of mixing with the lower classes..Angry

usualsuspect · 21/02/2011 14:47

I just read her post ..I was too stunned to reply to it though

FooffyShmooffer · 21/02/2011 14:47

Pagwatch - not vile over here

Maryz - We need a "rules for newbies". Join. Lurk for a week. Then for a month only answer threads (and preferably kill them ). For the next month, answer and repeat your point, and join in some of the more contentious threads.

After 3 months you can post an AIBU, get a pasting, retire embarrassed, name change and start again.

This time you are fully a member .

Yep did just that! Except the last AIBU bit but I am a bit of a scaredy shitmipants for that.

I say follow Mary's code of conduct or prepare to be looked at sideways.

reelingintheyears · 21/02/2011 14:48

I think i may have to 'hide' her..
She winds me up a fucking treat...

Psammead · 21/02/2011 14:55

Craaaaazy... I'm crazy for posting on mumsnet
Craaaaazy... I'm crazy for reading aibu....(eye-boo)
Craaaaazy... It's crazy how this site is going...

Crazy, the newbies and
Crazy, troll-wannabes and
The grammar's gone crazy toooooooooooo.....

Psammead · 21/02/2011 15:01

Let's beg HQ for our own, private section.

You can only join if you produce your MN pedigree, and have blue eyes or something.

Or they should ask you to answer a questionnaire whilst flashing a torch in your eyes, good mod bad mod style.
