to think that the Disney Faces competition is likely to go pearshaped

Not sure I like the idea of a beautiful baby competition. And this is pitting MNetters each other. Can only end in tears and flounces.

Can we have a ban on "Please vote for my baby" threads please? Or is there one already in place?

Hi there

Thanks for the feedback. We thought long and hard about whether we should do this and decided on balance that some folks would like it (actually borne out by the v high level of entries) . We did however make sure that it was a picture and caption contest - rather than just a bonny bairn contest - as we thought this made it more Mumsnet.

We would absolutely delete any threads that said "vote for my baby" - so if you see any please report them - but sadly have no control over twitter.

The bar chart showing who is winning was a total mistake and should never have gone up. We took it down immediately we were alerted but somehow it's crept back up there again and is being deleted again as we speak - we agree that that is/was not a good idea.

Anyway all comments noted, and thanks again for the feedback

Haha - caught red-handed! I posted and then noticed Carrie had so thought I'd remove mine. (We do try quite hard to dissuade advertisers from this type of activity - will resolve to try harder).

We've always suggested to advertisers there are better ways of interacting with a MN audience - sometimes they don't agree. Am saying perhaps we should try a bit harder to convince them. Can't see the inconsistency in that?
