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.

Nope, then it would be MSE.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 05/02/2017 19:29

Even TES has them these days

It also has virtually no traffic. Would be better with no likes and some people to post on it.

gandalf456 · 05/02/2017 19:29

I think there are regulars who are opinionated and never challenged. Most people are fine though. The ones I don't like are those who'll nitpick at your thread, you'll clarify but they don't come back with a proper response

PuffedPastry · 05/02/2017 19:30

Haven't found this at all OP. I'm a long time lurker that's only relatively recently started posting, namechanged several times, and I've had nothing but help and support. I don't feel any way excluded or an outsider.

I also don't really take any notice of usernames, I just follow and/or contribute to threads that interest me.

You both need to out them! Or at least report them. What sort of grown women are even that over invested in the goings on of MN anyway?

Highalert · 05/02/2017 19:37

I think Cara was just quoting Foxy. I don't think she's had a PM from the ignoring clique.

Sparklingbrook · 05/02/2017 19:39

Please no to a like button. Ugh.

It has been suggested by newbies a lot. MN always say no fortunately. The whole point of MN Talk is to Talk.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 05/02/2017 19:42

I don't do FB but who the fuck wants likes and thumbs, is Cara being a touch goady perhaps? Wink

I totally agree. It has been stifled to the extent that only a few sycophants are left mainly nodding and agreeing with each other. I wonder if I know you? I used to post there when it was bright and brave and feisty.

MistressMerryWeather · 05/02/2017 19:44

I agree if you think there is a group of people trying to single out and isolate a poster you should let HQ know.

Obviously, they can't stop people talking off the board but they would probably want to keep an eye on that sort of thing here.

Sparklingbrook · 05/02/2017 19:46

To any thumbs up/like buttons.

When I was a child the only treatment for worms was this terrible powder you dissolved in milk or water (or once my mum tried putting it in lemonade). I tasted of raspberry but made you feel really nauseous. To this day I can't eat or drink anything raspberry-flavoured

Anyone else remember this (or is it just me who was afflicted)?

Pripsen.

There was a Pripsen Survivors Club on here once, full of posters who couldn't stand raspberry flavoured anything due to that revolting concoction

Haven't had one yet but oh yeah, they will be outed for sure.

Sparklingbrook · 05/02/2017 19:50

They might be men! It's all a bit of a mystery this PM business.

Holy crap, flashback to my parents chasing me round the kitchen with that stuff.

Satans bum sweat.

Only1scoop · 05/02/2017 19:56

It took me literally years to have even a conservative splash of raspberry coulis on my pudding.

Oooohh, are you anticipating some?

"Are you on glue?"

Sparklingbrook · 05/02/2017 20:01

I haven't had a PM since 21/1. It was about car insurance. No instructions to ignore anyone.
