To never post on MN again...

[DMwankers]

Fucking Daily Mail So shit how they lift people's threads. Lazy journalism at its finest.

I got a thread lifted by them a few years back. It was lazy and I felt really upset at the time but they publish a shit ton of lazy crap that they've stolen every day so it falls of the radar very very quickly and will be read by next to no one within a few weeks.

Nevertheless I think they are major lazy cunts for doing this especially so regularly. It has taught me to change my username regularly and no longer post anything vaguely personal.

It's not just the DM, though, the Sun do it as well along with plenty of others.
Mumsnet themselves share the posts on Facebook to get everyone talking about them on there as well, which is just as likely to out anyone.
I mean, if even you're not aware of MN yourself, you don't "like" the page on FB, if your mate Jenny "likes" or comments on the post it'll all pop up in their newsfeed too.
How many people are friends with relatives on there too?
It's really not a secret corner on here, far from it.

their newsfeed too

sorry, should read yours

Happened to me too OP, very unpleasant consequences.

One of horrible consequences is that more and more Daily Mail readers join and start giving "advice" to people in crisis.

When will people learn?

Make a public post and you have lost any control of it

Perhaps we can have something like this on Mumsnet. Interestingly both of them are aimed at women - either idle gossips or femme fatales.

Or perhaps we can just accept that journalists or anyone else will pick up stuff and if you don't want it to be broadcast you should keep your trap shut.

Don't know where that Holly Hobby thing came from. It should be Careless Talk Costs Lives - so think on, you gossipy women on the bus because obviously Hitler and Mussolini are going to behind you on the no 15

I don't know how it's legal. I thought you needed permission to print people's stories,

Bloody hell. I'm failing spectacularly this afternoon . Anyway, people have always been able to overhear you and my worst moments have been shooting off my mouth only to find the target was right behind me. I don't think I'm the only one and I think that's the bigger danger than being picked up in the Daily Mail

I don't know how it's legal. I thought you needed permission to print people's stories,

That would be handy. But it doesn't work that way unless you can pay for an injunction and convince a judge of its merits. And if you think about it, it shouldn't.

Why shouldn't people be annoyed

I've been quoted (and misquoted!) 4 times - it's really annoying

I don't know how it's legal. I thought you needed permission to print people's stories,

The minute you publish it to Mumsnet, you lose control to it.
It's an international board, not private, you made it public and no longer private, and I'm sure it's in the small print somewhere that anything printed on Mumsnet they have the copyright to it and can do what they wish with it.
(Something like that anyway, not sure of the exact wording without looking it up!)

Awwlookatmybabyspider

What do you think MN is doing ?

I know nothing posted on social media is totally private. But the truth is on some forums journalists don't publish stories from them. So although any individual can read it, it is unlikely to go wider than that. Some of my older family members are not internet savvy, so I know they will never read anything I post online. Totally different though for MN as threads are discussed on daytime TV, radio programmes and national newspapers. So I think MN is much much less private than just about any other forum.

What do you think MN is doing ?

Exactly. Why don't some understand this? You''ve given permission by publishing and submitting your story yourself.

Don't MN claim copyright only on Chat but not rest of their content?
Solution is to copyright everything, I would have thought.

I can't think of a good anti-DM talkname. I quite like "GoodFolkWantToReverseBrexit", though.

How annoying can it be? LaurieFairyCake is an anonymous nickname. People reading MailOnline might notice it - probably not - and think badly of you, but so what? They don't know who you are. If If read the original thread I might think 'what a shame, Laurie has been misrepresented in MailOnline' but I still wouldn't know who you were

I don't get the obsession with "If I change my name to something rude like TheDMAreCuntyChopCockWombles then they won't get me."
You think that'll stop it all? It'll just mean you're quoted without a name instead!

MN promote personal stories, that is what they do. Other forums do not do this. They do it because it helps them make more money.

I don't care about comments, I care about personal stories being shared of vulnerable women. I think that is unethical, and MN encourages it.

I never understand why people despair when other outlets lift content from MN or elsewhere.

I used to post on the Woman and Home magazine forum. A couple of years ago there was a DM article, quoting my post word for word.......didn’t name me but said “one poster from Lincolshire......”

Vladmir Are you joking or just thick? Seriously some of the reasons are obvious.
