To suggest banning those cliquey type threads which don't belong in AIBU?

[Simontowers1]

The ones where anybody new to MN doesn't have a clue what anybody is on about and which aren't really an AIBU but rather a pointless attempt to attract attention/be funny/demonstrate their matey-ness with the rest of the MN clique?
Not saying their isn't a place for such threads just saying shift them off AIBU to stop other users wasting precious seconds of their life clicking. N them.

Yes, threads about threads are banned.
Not least because you should say something on the thread you have a problem with really.

Yes they are. If you have something to say about a thread you are supposed to say it on the original one not start another one about it.

Lets just ban threads and spend the afternoon sitting on our fingers.

Ah... There you all are!

Yes, even if you just post [sadface] on that thread. Or [displeasedface]. Or maybe even [disgustedofwhereverface]

Had a look too - not a fucking clue!

I can't keep up with Mn these days, and when I think I have, I read stuff which makes my head spin and fall off.

It's all very tragic. :(

Well apologies MNHQ did t realise threads about threads are banned. But if somebody is being stalked that other thread should go. I'm trying to do a public good here. By all means remove this one too.

I'm going try to use plethora in conversation today. Its an awesome word.

I think I heard there was a T-Rex!

Well I have sometimes replied in a serious way and then realised it was a thread that only some people understood.

But...but this is my new clique. It can't be deleted.

[sadderest face]

I've been on MN for just over a year, so not new but there are some posters I recognise, some I don't. It's an Internet support forum, therefore people who regularly post on similar threads begin to recognise and build a rapport with others. I wouldn't say that was cliquey, I'd say it's great.

Can't ever remember being told I can't join in a thread & if I've ever been confused about what's going on, I ask. I'm a nosey bastard

I am, however in a quiche of imaginary MN's

Join in. That is all.

Vivienemary,
That happens to me all the time.
I very rarely post on threads more than a few posts old now because I can post something and not understand how it has evolved at all

Public good?
.

I find them a bit irritating. If it is obvious from the thread title they are a jokey thread then I don't usually click on them but you can't always tell. I don't mind the funny ones (some are extremely funny) but the ones where it's all 'in' jokes are often a bit tiresome. There are too many of them.

Sometimes they are really funny but I would prefer them not to be in AIBU

@ public good.

I'm going out for lunch now [greedyface] Can normal MN be resumed later? My kindle autocorrected greedyface to Greenpeace lol.

Perhaps this thread will smoke out the clique members
