I'm a regular poster, and have name changed for this.

Is it just me, or does there seem to be a clique here? Some people's posts always get answered and they seem like a happy friendly little group. If you're 'new' or haven't posted that much, you pretty much get ignored.

I enjoy reading the posts, and I enjoy posting, but this 'exclusivity' is really getting to me. This is supposed to be a place people can come with their problems/jokes etc, and to feel like some people are 'left out' kinda defeats the object IMHO.

I have only ever had pm how are you type ones...

Hope the ignore certain posters was a joke.

teaforbreakfast · 05/02/2017 18:07

Foxy fear not, I meant the reg poster they were referring to!

MistressMerryWeather · 05/02/2017 18:07

Come to think of it I have actually PM'd someone and suggested that they ignore a poster Shock.

But it was only because she was going through a seriously rough time and the person seemed to be having fun giving her dogs abuse.

There was no conspiring, though, it was just an offer of support.

Funnyonion17 · 05/02/2017 18:08

Foxy I think there are Facebook groups about with Mumsnet groups on so I can believe that! I know a few discussed something before.

I've never really been bothered by it all though. Just strangers online, although some do value their status it's a bit like school. Although on here most people don't give a shit like at school ha.

It is ghosty, don't worry. No one has got time for that foolishness (channels the RHOA)

Sparklingbrook · 05/02/2017 18:09

Dione who PMed you to ignore me? Shock

WaitrosePigeon · 05/02/2017 18:10

Haven't noticed.

ArmySal · 05/02/2017 18:11

Who is Sparkling Dione?

ghostspirit · 05/02/2017 18:11

fun yes I forgot I joined in on a what's app one once. And removed myself quite quickly as I realised it was to close to real life for me. Same with an fb one to.

MistressMerryWeather · 05/02/2017 18:11

I totally read that in Phaedra's voice, Katie. :o

KatieScarlett · 05/02/2017 18:11

Me too! Grin

MilkTwoSugarsThanks · 05/02/2017 18:17

DioneTheDiabolist - I can send you a PM telling you to ignore me if you like?

justdontevenfuckingstart · 05/02/2017 18:20

If anyone wants a pervy sex pm I can do that.

KatieScarlett · 05/02/2017 18:25

Yes please, I'm tired of being appreciated for my mind. All this sexting thing has completely passed me by. OK, so I look like a buffalo, but even buffalos need to be objectified occasionally...

You're not one of the heavy breathers from the Sex board, are you?

Now there's a cliquey bunch.

Wondermoomin · 05/02/2017 18:26

Sparkling you can't seriously have thought that Dione's post to you was anything other than a joke, right? Shock

ArmySal · 05/02/2017 18:27

Whoa wait a minute, I was joking with my 'who's Sparkling comment ShockGrin

Sparklingbrook · 05/02/2017 18:29

I hope it's a joke Wonder. Grin

I really am boggling at all the talk of possible PMs where posters instruct others about who they have to ignore.

KatieScarlett · 05/02/2017 18:30

Oh are you a Sex Person?
I'm afeared of them.

Bettyspants · 05/02/2017 18:30

I've seen a few names that seem to be on whatever the time of day and 'well known ' but usually just seems to be a time of day thing. I don't understand name changeing , there's always going to be people that are in forums all day and forge friendships but this seems to be few and far between considering how huge mn is.

Sparklingbrook · 05/02/2017 18:33

Some of the sexperts in the Sex Topic are v scary. I have chosen to ignore the whole topic.

justdontevenfuckingstart · 05/02/2017 18:34

No Mistress But I may have to take a gander again. Is a good board if you can find the good advice.

ghostspirit · 05/02/2017 18:34

If it's a pm that says ignore poster x. She's being nasty type thing that's different. But if it's to say ignore poster x just to be horrible then that's pretty bad. And the people who do ignore when told to are just as bad as the person who posted the pm. Adults talk to who they choose to.

MistressMerryWeather · 05/02/2017 18:34

The site isn't letting me reply to my pervy PM.

Or maybe it's God?
