to suggest that AIBU should be renamed 'Anyone up for a fracas?'

@Mintyy

If anyone is still interested have a look at this thread from 9 months ago link. There have been many more before that but as a result of that particular one HQ put a stickied thread up asking Mnetters what they wanted to do about AIBU. An awful lot of people replied. Nothing has changed.

Whatever you do, do not imagine that HQ are interested in the views of the average humble Mumsnetter. They couldn't give a shite. Don't bother giving them feedback, don't bother engaging at all. They are not listening.

We'd have to disagree with you there Mintyy. We are interested, which is why we encourage folks to report as much as possible, about anything that concerns them. After the thread you're referring to, we asked people to report AIBU meanies. We checked out posters who seemed to be using AIBU purely to be pointlessly unpleasant, and took further action as necessary, which included banning.

But that after a flurry of reports for a few months it dropped off; there's been no let-up in our willingness to deal with unpleasant folk in AIBU but we do need users to tell us about it so that we can take action.
