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

[MrGin]

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.

Lion Lol - You'd need a facile post regulator to prevent fraud though!

How about mechanism to regulate the YANBU/YANU balance on a thread? Something like the BBC charter?

Sarah, we could get an MN Royalty crown too

That reminds me, as MN Royalty with my very own personal Knight that's you in case you forgot, I do feel it's time you went back to SirGin.

Maryz Love it! 'Constructive Commentor' stars?

SarahStratton Constructive Commentator Failure.

:(

That works!

Can I

Can I try for the first bun torrent?

How about an arse licking emotion (al la rolling stones) - plenty of that goes on.

Now I've typed that, it sounds quite bitchy

Love the arse licking idea!

I've said before that there should be some sort of device to point posters to the bun fight threads. A flashing red thread title would help but ideally I'd like something that pops up in the middle of another thread and basically shouts "fight this way" with a helpful link.

A bun counter would be very useful to identify said threads I feel.

I love the bun counter idea.

I always wonder what kind of buns people throw in a bun fight. In my mind they're always iced buns - the ones with white icing.

What about degrees of bun-osity.

Iced gem
Scone
Cream eclair
Full fruit cake

and for very contentious views

Wigs on the green (nothing to do with buns but I love that phrase!)

10 of each for a topic would make the icon change for that topic to the next one up?

Love the bun idea! s just aren't as much fun to throw

I agree we MN needs a bun button

They do have a [cupcake]

Snot fair.

The first couple of days would be a constant food fight

Buns are a great idea. I also like, and yes, I saw it on nethuns an animated point and laugh emoticon. I'd love one of those.

How about a bum throwing button?

(It is Friday afternoon, you know what that means...)

Yes to buns!

I'd like a rabid smiley that foams at the mouth to indicate frothing.

It's Friday.....It's 5 o'clock ...... it's.................

Time to namechange...
