OK - I never realised they had a forum, but I've just checked it out and seen one post entitled..."why are some woman so greedy with food"...pretty sure it's not for me, very bizarre and, reading through, almost illiterate.

Yes I am serious.

Gitwizard got through their swear filter Grin and then I got deleted and told off.

LittleMissFlustered · 08/05/2011 21:43

I went there once. I got the impression that you had to belong to a defined subsect of parents to be accepted. Seeing as I didn't I came back to mn :o

CFAW · 08/05/2011 21:43

Madam, by putting off or ick or d, they count that as bypassing swear filter.

K999 · 08/05/2011 21:49

That's sick....fuck, there ain't enough room on the page to indicate when me and DP last made love.....

SueSylvesterforPM that's the one that led to my ban.

I agree with MadamDeathstare

"We can't complain about a there being a thread on Netmums complaining about Mumsnet when there's a thread on Mumsnet complaining about them."

K999 · 08/05/2011 21:55

Doh!!! Blush Blush

CFAW · 08/05/2011 21:57

Someone tell me whats going on, I cant see!

thefirstMrsDeVere · 08/05/2011 21:57

I used to be on there a lot. Then I went between here and there. Then I just couldnt take there anymore.

I have started having a little look again but its just too much. The moderating is restricted to anyone using norty words or being a big meany. They tend to ignore racists, homophobes, ignorant fuckers and people who give out dangerous 'medical advice' e.g. when someone said she has started her 6 week old on solids and now was worried it was a bit soon 'no hun, you CANT stop now because he is used to it and if you stop giving him solids now it will make him sick. You have to keep giving it to him now'.
This was allowed to stand but when it was challenged the posters me got told off and the posts deleted.

I was also warned for telling a poster that what she was doing to her DD was abusive. I know that gets bandied about a lot but this woman had a child with ASD who was terrified of the hoover. So when the 4 year old was 'naughty' or 'got on her nerves' she switched the hoover on and made her sit next to it.
I was told off for beign unsupportive. Hmm

However I have met some brilliant women on there. They are all my FB mates now so I dont really have to go on NMs. Unfortuanately they post links to the most interesting mental threads so I cant keep away!

I do think NMs has its place. Not everyone can cope with MN.

I used it loads for a long time. I stepped back when I realised I was only really going on their to poke BNP supporters and benefit bashers with a stick.

thefirstMrsDeVere · 08/05/2011 22:00

BTW I have loads of tickers on NM. Infact I have just been contacted by the moderaters because they are too big

hahaha
ha.

CFAW · 08/05/2011 22:01

I don't think i come across well on forums really thefirstMrsDeVere. I am of the view if you give it, you can take it. Netmums mods don't seem to agree.
