...to think mumsnet should have a "bun" throwing button......

Said button allows you to virtually throw a bun at someone, it also shows in their 'bun counter' so you can see how many buns that poster has endured.

On the thread list a simple animation of flying buns would indicate how many buns were being thrown in each thread.

Comments on a post card please.

I think there should be a froth counter, count the number of "offended"s, "shocked"s, "twat"s, etc in the posts and divide by number of posts :o

Nagoo · 09/03/2012 14:01

for some posters, a bun is a bun is a bun Wink

MrGin · 09/03/2012 14:09

A bun in mid flight 'emoticon' would be a start. And maybe a frothy cappuccino one too.
Is there such a thing as throwing a supportive bun MaryZ :)

Can they have currents in them?

MrGin · 09/03/2012 14:15

Or how about a little 'ap' that targets grammar Nazis by adding spelling mistakes to there ( sic ) posts as soon as they click 'post message' ?

Great idea! Can they be iced currant buns?

diotima · 09/03/2012 14:29

Great idea! I think there'd need to be a counter for 'thown buns' too so you could reply to appropriate poster knowing you're gonna need to duck.

diotima · 09/03/2012 14:36

How about timeout's like they have in basketball if you get too many?

Also, bun quotas?! Trading buns? Provoking a storm and collecting them up to restock?

Could turn it into a strategy game - Farmville on a really simple level.

MrGin · 09/03/2012 14:39

I'm liking bun quotas and bun trades

YABU. We're in a recession. You'll get Biscuit and jolly well be grateful.

MrGin "Damn - I've run out!" ...... "Here have some of mine Grin"

SarahStratton · 09/03/2012 14:46

Oh I like this idea vair much MrGin. True genius.

diotima · 09/03/2012 14:50

How about a YANBU/YABU account which you have to keep in balance? If you do too many YANBU's, you have to do some YABU's to get back in balance?

MrGin · 09/03/2012 14:53

diotima

I'm liking that too. Maybe if you've too many YABU's you get renamed for the day... MrGinTheUnreasonable

I hope MNHQ are taking all this in.

Sarah, we could get an MN Royalty crown too Wink

Haha yeah diotima I like the idea of an unreasonableness deficit Grin And then you could appoint AIBU debt management specialists to coach the debtors in the art of finely crafting an OP to generate maximum YANBU returns

Pagwatch · 09/03/2012 14:54

Oh I like this idea.
