To be fed up of sexual fetishists on here?

[brasty]

So many threads at the moment that are obviously posters looking for wank fodder. Including disgustingly a fair number to do with children. So fed up of these. And so fed up of so many staying up for several days even though they are reported.

[CheshireChat]

Are there...

[Rachel0Greep]

Agreed Cheshire Cat.
'Annoying' is not the term I would use. The site is being ruined, in my opinion, and definite measures could be taken by MN but are not being taken.

@LittleAuk I never thought you were a troll/fetishist I was more annoyed at your nursery for thinking your son was being inappropriate. I never commented due to the stupidity of that. I’d have said motor boating hoping it would conjure a clear image and get a bit of a laugh. Christ it’s just scary though.

I’m one of these people that assume the best of people irl so I apply those rules on the internet too, more fool me though

[Escapepeas]

The willingness for people to overshare is astonishing. I am convinced that someone could actually post 'explain to me how you wash your fanjo' and people would fall over themselves to describe it.

Yet people are banned for troll-hunting when they dare to point this stuff out.

[ZepellinBend]

Fifthly perhaps lock down threads after a certain amount of time? Other sites do it. I'm thinking of the likes of that ten year old zombie one about blowjobs that was resurrected simply by someone typing a couple of letters as a post. There's really no need to keep really old threads active.

[flippinada]

Thank you brasty for starting this thread. It's really important people realise this is going on. Well said also MrsDV and Cote.

There are more and more of these threads popping up all over the time. As a OP said, once you've seen them you cannot unsee and you realise how many there are. And they absolutely are ruining the site.

MHNQ really need to up their moderation game.

[flippinada]

*all the time, not all over the time.

[CheshireChat]

Sadly, between the trolls and the Daily Fail, people will share less and less. And be willing to help less and less which is obviously understandable, but very sad IMO.

Not to mention some posters have been harassed in RL.

Other than stricter modding, I can't really think of anything that will help though.

I got absolutely slaughtered for suggesting that people were providing wank material for perverts on a thread about clean or dirty pants under pjs recently .... sadly many on here are far too trusting....or far too thick...to realise that not everyone is who they say.

No, not “far too thick” - you are being unfair. Just because most decent people do not expect weird creeps to be on a forum like this, does not mean they are “thick”.

[Calmanrose]

Sorry but I thought thick because even after I mentioned the possibility I was mocked and several posters went out ood their way to give extra detail in order to try to make fun rather than keep their own counsel and not drag their kids pants into the discussing. That's not being decent but rather think.

[Escapepeas]

@Rose, I'm afraid I tend to think they are thick too. Especially when someone points out that it might not be the best idea to overshare on certain subjects and the poster says something like 'oh whatever, people wank, get over it, you're being paranoid!'

I really wish people would try to understand even the basics of internet security and safeguarding.

[Calmanrose]

I despair. An op... apparently a long-standing one... has posted about her child's penis and so many have waded in with their own stories of willy playing. Honestly.. would they tell a random in the st such things? No? Then don't share it with potentially thousands online...

[ZepellinBend]

I've never heard of that before boopsy Wash yes, deodorant no. Wonders what the hell they will come up with next.

[RoseWhiteTips]

Ok, thanks. I take your point.

[RoseWhiteTips]

Those threads - with potentially lure you in titles should just be ignored.

[RoseWhiteTips]

I always think it’s odd and insensitive anyway when someone discloses intimate information about anyone in their family. Children included.

[Calmanrose]

Totally. I just found some posters are so bloody minded they'll go out of their way to ridicule someone making a valid point about internet safety... and the way that they do this is by oversharing in order to prove their point that talking about children's private things with strangers online is normal. I despair.

[Papafran]

Just reported some fucking sick weirdo for starting a thread about a friend who 'touches his dog inappropriately'. First time poster as well.

[Carolinacarolina]

The one a few weeks ago about insects was absolutely disgusting and i was really disappointed that mumsnet hq were so slow to do anything about it- I've said it in the past but hq make a fortune they need to invest more in the site being monitored more closely

[insancerre]

its a joke
I think we should be able to call troll on a thread
It might stop people over sharing if they have doubts about the poster

[Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar]

Just out of interest; why is announcing on a thread that you’ve reported it considered to be ok, but saying “no way, that never happened” risks an instant ban? More inconsistency.

[LineysRun]

I have to say I'm growing very weary of reporting threads and being told that MNHQ have no proof that the OP isn't 'genuine'. Wtf does 'genuine' mean anyway in these contexts?

[Papafran]

Definitely. I really don't see why troll-hunting is so vigorously policed, yet sick and upsetting threads are left up for hours. I definitely think people should be allowed to vent scepticism publicly. It does then stop other sharing about underwear/periods/toileting/bestiality

[MyBeloved]

I agree with pp that the sex sub forum on here seems to have attracted more weirdos than usual. Maybe it's time to delete It?
