I agree with MadamDeathstare. Why be mean about another site for being more polite and fussy than here? If it doesn't suit you, leave them alone. Different is OK, what harm do they do?

i like netmums

i have bought and sold quite a lot of baby equipment/toys through our local pages, found out about days out, playgroups and met some other local parents and kids

no need to slag it off, if you don't like it, leave it

QueenOfFeckingEverything · 08/05/2011 21:28

Ha [bitter]

I left NetMums in a Big Huff after being told off by the mods for getting irate with someone who said that Jean Charles De Menezes was a parasite who brought his death upon himself by remaining in the country illegally Hmm Angry

My argument was totally ignored by a load of scary huns who agreed with her [shudder] and I did myself no favours by calling her a racist gitwizard.

CFAW · 08/05/2011 21:28

I like the posters, its the mods and their warped rules! Loads of top birds on there! That's why i end up going back.

I got kicked off for calling someone a fucking bitch on a child benefit thread. In my defence she was being :)

Luckily I found mumsnet, much better. And I can understand posts because they are written in English, not much text speak and no annoying tickers.

Nethuns have a thread going on just now in the 'Wine Bar' section of the site called 'How is Mumsnet' Shock

Basically, they're all slagging us off!

Though there are a few folk backing us up Grin

deemented · 08/05/2011 21:32

CFAW - I was a mod on there and still got banned!!

CFAW · 08/05/2011 21:33

Well surely they should pull that thread before someone cries!

its all too much furry bollocks for me.

i like it here

TrillianAstra · 08/05/2011 21:34

The reason Mumsnet is not is because you can say "shit" if you want.

It's childish and petty to bitch about a forum on another forum.

CFAW · 08/05/2011 21:34

deemented that is hilarious! I was a mod on a different site for about 3 hours once hee hee hee

I was banned for something stupid disagreeing with a racist so after that i went back a few times to debate argue just for the hell of it.

One thing i hate is the big palaver of warnings in thread titles warning contains very distressing content dont read if you're fucking pathetic sensitive

Fuck Netmums!! quote me you losers

carminaburana · 08/05/2011 21:38

I knew quite a few people who use NM and they love it - I think they'd run a mile from MN tbh -, being able to swear ( especially using the 'C' word) isn't everyones cup of tea - I have looked on NM and thought the threads were pretty much the same as the ones you get on here - some of them word for word! - I think it's just a bit brighter and a little quieter -

CFAW · 08/05/2011 21:38

I cant even look at what is going on, might log in with the old mans name Mwah ha ha ha ha

I'm off to investigate ....

PintOfStellaAndBuckfastChaser · 08/05/2011 21:39

I don't think it says 'shit', I think it's meant to say 'bitchy', but it's just so I couldn't work it out!

Even some of the NM's (albeit, a small minority) were moaning about the swear filters on there, and how they have to try and work out the words that are !!!
