To expect Mumsnet

[LetitiaCropleysCookbook]

To be more careful about the titles they list in the Mumsnet Talk 'Discussions of the day' box to the right of the threads?

For example today there is listed a (partial) title which reads Woman simulates sex with headless baby...

I've seen other inappropriate titles in the past, which you might not want your dc to see. You can avoid clicking on threads with dubious titles, but you can't do anything about this. Surely there could be some judicious editing?

WTF?? You're worried about a 12yr old seeing an unfortunately worded headline?

It won't take a second to explain the trending thing.

YABU, even if it is a most unfortunate shortening of a title.

You must have realised it was half a sentance?

Oh, fgs. This is in trending now.

Why would children be on Mnet when it's for parents.
I'm sure kids don't want to see tits, wank, fuck and twat.

My youngest is 12. I can't pack him off to bed at 7.30, so I can browse MN, but I still don't particularly want him to see titles such as the one I mentioned!

So you want MN to change their rules regarding thread titles so you and your 12 year old don't have to make compromises to fit in with your own family values?

If you have a 12 yr old who your worry about seeing a sentence with "sex" in it then you have major problems with school and home sex ed

Nooooo! It's only the Trending titles, which I can't get rid of - they are ever present, even if you are on a 'How can I improve my geraniums?' thread. (Which, of course are the only type of thread I ever read, to fit in with my family values).

it was more the with headless baby that I had a problem with.

I really wish hiding a thread would also get rid of it from my Trending too. The trending ones are usually full of titles.

Use the mobile site. You don't get the trending thing.

Ah, that explains it. No-one knows what I'm talking about! I don't have a smartphone, so I have to use the pc.

Eve I did the same with my kids.

Don't look st my screen unless I say you can. Children should understand that not every thing is for their eyes. He's 12! Tell him. It to look over your shoulder it's none of his business.

Same rules apply with mobile or tablet. It's private kids don't look. End of.

There's not much of MN that I'd want DC to see, TBH.

The abbreviation of the thread title was unfortunate, but I think automatic (?)

Site stuff might be a better place to bring it up.

I am on the laptop. The ability to hide Trending would be a good option.

I'm on a PC, I get what you're talking about. YABU. And MN don't really have anything to do with the Trending box. It was just an unfortunate truncation.

Are you possibly confusing DoTD and Trending?

Same rules apply with mobile or tablet. It's private kids don't look. End of.

I use a pc which is in a family room. I can't stop my family passing through and catching a glimpse of the screen. Naturally, if my dc are around, I wouldn't be on a thread I didn't want them to see. That's the point. On a pc, the Trending titles are ever present - some of them truncated at unfortunate places in the sentence, and some of them just .

You can use the mobile site on a laptop. It's great, that's how loads of us were able to keep posting during the big NYE shut down.

I take you weren't a member for the Cunting Sainsbury's thread, op?

All the best people do.

Are you possibly confusing DoTD and Trending?

Have no idea what you mean.What's having sex got to do with Trending titles?

I have no laptop or smartphone. I just have a computer on a desk, open for all to see. My bad for being so antediluvean, obvs.
