Netmums, not meaning to moan here....

Hi,

Sorry to talk about another site, but I was confused thinking NM and MN were similar. I know now that NM is full of bright colours and pictures, and this one is blue. I've been on NM for 5 years and used to go there just to seek advice, and look for penfriends. The worst thing I did was drift off to their coffeehouse area. I wanted to get to know others a bit. I didn't think I did anything wrong at first until I posted. I discovered a massive clique of people who all agree with the same thing. They targetted me with online verbal. I wud come away from NM and let things cool, then go back again a month later.

I got bullied on NM by 50 of the members. I tried ignoring them and made lots of reports, pressing the Report button. Either admin did something or didn't. Because of this the admin started picking on me! I later found out they've had me monitored for some reason. I didn't do anything wrong. I was a bit scared when admin sent PM's harasing me for posting on their Lounge forum and daring to disagree with others. I was never rude or nasty.

One male poster on NM stalked me and tried to locate me elsewhere. A group of others threatened to kill me, ect. It was all really grubby. The worst thing I did again was go back! I returned 3 months later. This time the members might've forgot me but admin certainly didn't! They banned me from using their general forums. I asked them why and they didn't answer except tell me they were checking into my personal info, monitoring my activities, get this - not wanting me to use their report buttons and they didn't want me expressing an opinion.

I felt quite scared b/cos they have all my personal info, such as address, phone, real name, LO's name, my d/o/b/ and IP, ect. The admin (i mean all of them as they all signed it) sounded threatening and warned me off using their site again. I asked them what is it I've done wrong in the first place. No answer. I realised it was best to leave the site.

Later I found out one of the members who was quite nasty to me could be a TV celeb who also uses the site and her avatar looks like her. I didn't know this when I posted on it.

What I talked about on there getting into troble on NM? Saying I'm celibate and a single mum who doesn't need a man in my life. That was all

Sounds very odd, though I've beeb on a few forums and would never ever even be tempted to join the ticker tape parade over there, vom!

I know you are letting off steam so just put it down to experience and start anew here, mn is great, I love it, I love how people are so supportive but give you a 'shut your gaddamn face' when you are being stupid and unreasonable!

Here have a , forget nethuns and welcome to Mumsnet!!!

I'll get me goat....

I sometimes write in Comic Sans on my uni assignments just to be a rebel.

But I always chicken out and change it back to Arial before I submit :o

Am I the only one wondering who the celeb is??

It all sounds a bit far-fetched,to be honest..but I'm interested to see what the updates will reveal :)

This is off topic, but I have wandered onto NetMums before and I was confused that the ticker tape thing at the bottom of everyone's posts seemed to be saying Happy Birthday to every single child listed.

I want know who the celeb is as well.

I don't why you would have kept going back to that kind of treatment OP.

Talk about out staying your welcome!

goat thread has gone lol,been on there years and never had any trouble,some are stuck far up thier own arse tho

Comic Sans? IM(NV)HO the users of this abomination to typography should discover their computers have turned to ashes.That'll learn 'em!

I have wandered off to have a nosey over there but the colours were too much for my eyes!

death threats? Actual death threats?

tbh, if you have actually received death threats and you gave information during your time on the site that would make you identifiable in real life, you should really call the police and ask for their opinion.

normally, I would say pah, it's the internet but I know on netmums they are more open with who and where they are.

sorry, by that I mean if you were open about who are where you are, then it's a bit different from a death threat on here where people would be hard pressed to find out who, say, Hecate is and where she lives if she really exists and isn't a hairy handed trucker

I'm gonna nose over there. I didn't know it existed to be honest.

It is like eating candy floss at every meal over there.

Nothing to get your teeth into because your are not allowed to Tell It Like It Is!

Quite a few threads over there would benefit from some no nonsense straight talking but instead everyone huffs and puffs and huns all over the place and nothing actually ever seems to happen. No resolution to anything.

you're NOT your, oh the shame

Well, it's obviously the way they prefer it - or they'd be here instead

remembers that actually she is benevolent

benevolent? isn't that a word that only old, frumpy people use?

Some are on here AND there though.

I think I would be banned in about three seconds if I went over there.

I just went for a look, but wasn't brave enough to post anything.

While I am here, does anyone remember the name of that poster who did that long troll thread about being pregnant, young and not sure what to do?
