to be very bored of the thread police?

[TallTopHat]

So fucking what if it's in the wrong place?

Who resigned at MumsNetHQ and made people self appointed mods, prowling the boards for misdemeanours against topics?

My response to posters who whinge ask why it matters if a thread is in the wrong place is usually "start an antenatal/ovulations/thread asking about piles in S&B. After all, it doesn't matter

Oh dear, Lissielou your double posting is going to cause PC BIWI to gibber.... :o

YANBU, it's getting annoying and they're coming across as snotty school prefects. FFS, I got told off for posting a thread about a wedding dress in S&B. You'd think - dress, could go in S&B but apparently my logic was flawed and I should have posted it in weddings.

Yes, some stupid banal totally not AIBU-appropriate threads do get started, but they're the exception. I've seen some people being told off for putting something which was a valid AIBU in AIBU.

Saycool, But my posts are so important that they need to be read twice

My son has echolaia so I read lissie just fine

:) Lissie

Poor Lissie, you can't really namechange and go undercover at the moment, even if you wanted to!

wedding dress = style & beauty
you need sensible people opinons not fellow bridezilla opinions
< gavel >

I don't think the POWA Tampon brigade are even doing their job.

I don't know why I did this, but after lurking on the powa tampon thread for a while I made a mental note to post "powa tampon" on any thread where I have seen a comment regarding which topic it should be in....so far, I have only posted "powa tampon" twice. What's that all about then?

So my conclusion a) there are not that many threads being started in the wrong topic b) the police are not doing their jobs or c) I'm not spending enough time on MN

Happy to be told I'm a weirdo. :)

Velvet, you're a weirdo :o

HTH

And where's VelWhip?

What if I want to find out if IABU to think my wedding dress is stylish?

VelWhip is sleeping in my bra

:)

There's also an etiquette thread.

And a Ford topic.

I knew those weren't really JJs!!

still post in style & beauty in aibu you'd get

yabu only cunts get married
uabu to spend 70pence on a wedding dress buy a goat, people are starving
uanbu to by a wedding dress because I bought one and everyone wants to be like me
Seriously, your posting this shit? Do you not have real problems? fuck off op
Hey! Who said only cunts get married why are you calling me a cunt for being married?
wtf has a goat got to do with a wedding dress?
I haven't read the whole thread but uabu top post pictures of wedding dresses you could upset someone recently divorced

Seriously, how would that help you find out a wdding dress is stylish?

Honey

You are quite right. I shall get married in the nude. Much easier.

Hello. We're a little late to spot this thread but we just wanted to say that we agree that having everything in AIBU is not ideal, and we positively welcome posters pointing out (nicely) to other posters that an AIBU thread may, in fact, sit better in another topic.

We have lots of very lovely other topics, after all, and it would be a shame not to use them.

YANBU

I'd love a mumsnet vote (!) on how many people actually care

The thread police make me think of those people in offices who post inane, passive agressive notes on the staff fridge.

Yes, I'd love a vote on who actually cares. Bring it on!

If the "couldn't care less where people post" brigade comes out on top then at least we'll have a clearer picture of how Mumsnet is going to be in future and can decide whether or not to stick around.

How about a poll mnhq? Would you kindly consider it ?

i think if you do really do care you use all the topics anyway

maybe let AIBU have it's own separate area, like the buying/selling topics go in the end
