OP posts:

WhIch posters is it ok for them to be pally with?

Whatmeworry · 15/03/2012 00:04

MN has a certain agenda in the wider media, so I suspect there is a bias for/against certain topics, not directly for/against posters

Tee2072 · 15/03/2012 07:21

Let's get back on topic.

How is it unethical? MNHQ have no duty of care so what ethics, specifically, are you referring to?

On a serious note...this is one of the forums moderated in the most human and open way that I use.

I personally dislike swearing (Don't all fucking shout at me about that -I just don't like it) but I respect their lack of moderation. The basic rule of no personal attacks and no troll hunting are pretty well moderated

I like the fact they chat (almost like they were a real person...) at the same time as deleting stuff

lesley33 · 15/03/2012 07:33

Yes it is very unethical of MNHQ to behave this way. YANBU

redlac · 15/03/2012 07:39

Has anyone asked if this is Mummle in disguise yet?

What's with all the threads demand MN changes?

NorfolkNChance · 15/03/2012 07:48

You walked into the thread
Like you were walking onto a set
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was pure Mumsnet
You had one eye in the screen
As you watched yourself gavotte
And all the mods dreamed that they'd be your favourite
They'd be your favourite, and

You're so vain
You probably think this thread is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this thread is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

You had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and

You're so vain
You probably think this thread is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this thread is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

Well, I hear you went up to MN Towers
And your posts naturally won
Then you flew your Live Chat up to MNHQ
To see the total eclipse of everyone
Well, you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with
Some troll spy or the writer of Classics
Writer of classics, and

You're so vain
You probably think this thread is about you

porca - On the other thread you didn't read the posts - it was a joke ffs. Not sure if this one is for real or not?

Tee2072 · 15/03/2012 08:02

This one is, sadly, serious.

But really, porc, read the thread. It would help us all.

::holds hands, sings kumbaya::

porcamiseria · 15/03/2012 08:03

Its AIBU, not relationships, not health, ergo:

I am allowed to be a bitch here allowed to express an opinion , and these threads make my FUCKING TEETH HURT

lesley33 · 15/03/2012 08:04

Of course you can express an opinion. But on the other thread you are posting as if you think the thread is for real. If you raed the thread it is clear it ius a joke. If your response post was also a joke, then I apologise.

porcamiseria · 15/03/2012 08:08

erm, read very fast, whats serious? that a thread got deleted????

think or syria, come on, this is NOT serious

TandB · 15/03/2012 08:20

I quite agree, OP.

It's the way they blow hot and cold that gets me. I only ever had one post deleted before. I thought they loved me. I even met Rebecca and she was nice to me. Twice.

And then last night they deleted me. And all I did was suggest that someone who clearly was talking bollocks was, in fact, talking bollocks.

[cries]

lesley33 · 15/03/2012 08:21

kungfu - That is terrible Shock

Tee2072 · 15/03/2012 08:26

Porc, perhaps internet forums are not the place for you. They are rarely serious.

HTH

Stratters · 15/03/2012 08:27

I got banned.

Top that biatches. Grin

porcamiseria · 15/03/2012 08:27

WTF is happening to MN?

TandB · 15/03/2012 08:34

I thought so too, Mary.

Although I comfort myself with the thought that it might have been Rowan acting unilaterally and without authorisation. That would mean that Rebecca might still love me.

Stratters · 15/03/2012 08:35

I've absolutely no idea. I'm not doing an early night again though, I've missed all the fun. :(

lesley33 · 15/03/2012 08:36

Yes stratters - you have no commitment to this. You missed lots of bun fights and a bit of surrealness.
