I mean a smaller forum, maybe a closed area of mn, i dunno sometimes i feel too well known to start threads with my rl problems, i guess i could namechange but then people wouldn't know me. iykwim, i didn't mean to be goady but i do post what i think

Liney Flowers

south why so many late night ranty threads? And they do often read as goady which is why you get the responses that you get. I don't think people here have been particularly hurtful to you, they've mostly been taking the piss - it really could have gone a lot worse - yet you directly insulted another poster (sooty at the beginning of the thread.

Not everyone is aware of you and your rl problems , I'm not and I'm not saying that just to be a tit., I don't want that to read as a harsh response, it's not meant that way.

How would you sanction a closed off area of mn, who'd be in?

southeastastra · 20/02/2016 20:28

maybe i've mis-read it then, or to quote soupdragon: do what you want, no-one gives a fuck

fgs sooty reports alot of my posts, i feel like she follows me around just to trip me up. I have send her a DM as i don't like to be mean on mn contrary to what people may think of me

i don't have rl problems but an area where you could chat confidentially would be good. too many people on mn are now really confrontational

You know there are loads of long running threads were posters feel more encompassed and were they sometimes have a rantor moan among posters they feel they know.

BIWI · 20/02/2016 20:32

I'd maybe lay off the late night postings, SEA. Don't know if you're pissed when you make them, but they often read as such. Doesn't do you any favours.

southeastastra · 20/02/2016 20:32

i know see but I'm not into camping or arts and crafts if that's what you mean

There's the sweary thread, ninja thread, night owl thread, the boring thread to name a few. They are just mainly posters chatting about random stuff, but they get to know each other. It's nice to be able to go somewhere were everybody knows your names

southeastastra · 20/02/2016 20:38

i know biwi i can't help myself

Liney, so sorry about your dad. Thanks

OP... so you would like a 'closed off' bit of MN just for you and your selected posters to be confidential? None of that reads true. I think your posts are really goady and whether you consider yourself to be 'speaking your mind', you had a go at ILoveSooty today that was uncalled for. How the hell do you know who reports you? I imagine lots of people do if that's the way you post!

I find your thread and your reasons for starting it just disingenuous, sorry. I remember your other ones too. Maybe go and start a new site somewhere and issue the invitations to the posters that you want to join you, see where you go from there.

southeastastra · 20/02/2016 20:39

i spent alot of time alone in the evenings i guess i just need to talk to some people (sad )

MrsJayy · 20/02/2016 20:44

But we are all here to chat this thread has turned chatty and supoortive . Why dont you start a themed thread what do you need a private members club for

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 20/02/2016 20:44

Confused, eh? Why would we be moaning about this thread elsewhere?

southeastastra · 20/02/2016 20:45

well good sparkling i am sure she appreciates it

OddSocksHighHeels · 20/02/2016 20:45

Ok I don't know anything about the issues between you and individual posters but you're right, keeping it off the thread is probably for the best.

Yes there are problems with confrontational posts on completely random and innocent threads and I think most of us would agree with that. Apart from those that are constantly confrontational themselves I guess. I don't really know what the answer to that is but I can't see how a closed off section would work. There was a thread in Site Stuff not too long ago about having a section that wouldn't allow NC, I think worra started it? I thought that was a good idea but it didn't really get an answer from MNHQ.

see means the long-running threads like the sweaty thread, ninja thread and night owls, there are probably others as well. You get to know other posters on those threads and can have a rant or moan or just chat shit and they tend to stay very civilised as they're a smaller group of posters who have got to know one another over some time.

MrsJayy · 20/02/2016 20:45

No we are all here moaning upfront and honest no sneaky whispering about you

Sparklingbrook · 20/02/2016 20:46

Me too SEA.
