to insist that you all adhere to the following guidelines on AIBU? Forthwith.

[MardyBra]

1. Only post juicy AIBUs. Do not sneak in general chat topics under the guise of "AIBU to ask you about... pushchairs/holiday properties/breastfeeding/insert other dull topic?"

1. Clearly indicate your aibu topic in the thread title. "AIBU to be annoyed about this?" is not acceptable, as I may click on it and find it dull.

1. No "posting for extra traffic". This is the MN equivalent of queue-jumping.

1. No indication of light-heartedness. MNers should be sufficiently intelligent and discerning to understand when the OP is tongue-in-cheek.

Thank you for your co-operation.

I can see where you're coming from wrt Rule 2 DadDad, but I like to aim high.

Number 3 is my favourite.

Yes, rule number 5 is absolutely no reverse cunting AIBUs.

No gavels?

What about a spatula?

OK, I'll let you have a spatula mainly for the comedy value Faire.

Don't call everyone bullies if the unanimous decision is YABU.

I now have a mental image of Faire flapping a spatula on a desk instead of banging a gavel.

Yes, good one usual.

Worra I'm thinking one "mistake" is allowable, but repeat offenders should be excommunicated and exiled to the wasteland known as "WWYD".

You're far more reasonable than I.

I was thinking a spot of water boarding for the first offence and exiled to NetMums for repeat offenders.

There must be a bunfight or two in the thread, possibly on an utterly unrelated subject, otherwise it's too boring.

How about:

No placemarking in juicy threads where an update is needed, particularly with
a) a full stop
b) endless "you go girl" comments, or
c) general spitting of tea and weeing of pants.

at worra.

Oh yes, a nice little tiff between two posters always goes a long way to liven up a thread.

Passive aggressive smilies are to be encouraged.

HTH

.

so whats your juicey topics mrs bossy boots?

No use of the word 'hubby' is allowed, ever.

I think at least a couple of bunfights are permitted, nay welcome. Provided they are entirely unrelated. But please, no tiny violins played much further down the thread.

usual now you spoiled it.
You should have called me a cuntdisagreed with me in strong terms.

YYY to Number 1 and Number 2 drives me mad "AIBU to do this?" DO WHAT???? Put it in the thread title fucker.

I'd also like to add:

1. Clear instances of unanimous YANBU - what is the point?

For example:

I was in the post office today and the manager punched in me in the face and stole my first born child. AIBU to complain.

Yawn....

Are you having a go at me?

Sorry couldn't resist.

No bad jokes?

Fuck off, Ottilia. Are you stalking me?

like that?

Now there's a nice AIBU thread.

"so whats your juicey topics (sic)"

1. Parking wars. But not Parent and toddler spots.

1. Bridezilla threads

1. Bill splitting.

1. MIL threads will be graded according to level of MIL intrusiveness.

Should we go to PILs for Christmas threads are not really worth of a good aibu imo.

I like SIL threads.
