#AD

[MintyT]

I don't know about you, but since the instamums posts I have really noticed the #AD on posts, and to be honest I had no idea I was so gullible. I loved the threads regards instamums and really think MN made a small change, well done us

surfing - I follow lots on IG, not necessarily all the big ones but definitely a few.
Are you only allowed to post if you follow certain big ones?
As a result of these threads, I've been following MOD and FOD for a while now if that's what you mean (which seems a bit of an own goal to get them more followers when you - general you - are so concerned about the kids out there and the fact they monetize their feed.)
I bring up those two names only because last time I got comments like "You don't even FOLLOW them! Why are you posting? You know nothing!"
Yeah, well I've been following them for a while now.

Ok cadyheron, but why do you and SL keep contributing to threads you don't like.

I do like. I've said plenty of times that I'm interested in the subject.

Cady I have no issue with their personal decisions about their kids, limiting their followers etc. I just want #AD where appropriate.

I agree there have been great (begrudged?) strides since the previous threads. But MOD is really snarky about it. She has not been bullied, by any reasonable definition.

@SurfingUSA

I mostly post on the property forums (under a different username). I find Mumsnet useful for many things for example info re holiday destinations, decorating, skincare.

I first posted on Mumsnet in 2006 for advice re my relationship with my now husband. If I'd followed that advice (a lot of ltb) I'd have ended up a single parent. I was upset by the comments made by of some of the posters and didn't find it helpful at all. I thought that is the kind if thing the insta "campaign" was getting at. Some Mumsnet posters are too vociferous with posters who are likely already feeling upset or depressed.

The instamum and trans threads show Mumsnet in it's worst light.

I

Don't all the relationship advice threads just say "your DH is a dick, leave him " 😂

Cady please point out where MoD has been bullied in previous threads.

Maybe MN should just reveal a user's email address if they are consistently offensive. Maybe we'd all be nicer if we were going to be outed 😀

It would take far too long to trawl through the many, many threads where there are numerous posters making nasty, personal comments re MOD & FOD.

The fact that there are so many threads making personal, spiteful comments about the same person is in itself bullying so there is no need to copy & paste comments, most of the worst ones were deleted anyway.

Mofod have not been bullied on Mumsnet, ever.

Look up the definition of the word bullied

Don’t use it lightly.

@MarvelleGazelle

If you're referring to the "my husband didn't stop" thread I find that a prime example of Mumsnet at it's worst.

The fact the op didn't come back to the thread after the first few posts says it all really. Certain posters on there turned the thread into their own platform to discuss rape, I cannot see how that was in anyway helpful to the op.

Cady Heron you posted this

MOD was definitely bullied on various threads,.

OK, where have I posted that?Just been through the entire thread and can't find me saying that. Somebody else has said it though.

NB is just a 'notice box' as is MOD. They've realised they can increase followers by being discussed on MN. Yawn.

Ps has MN just ignored NB? I hope so.

@NovichoksAway

There is low engagement with the #dearmumsnet but there a few thousand likes and hundreds of comments re Mumsnet, many of which are very negative and the majority not from the instamums mentioned in these threads.

I also noticed a few of the instamums commented to say they had felt bullied on here. A few said they had been reported to the ASA (I'm guessing by mumsnetters given many of you were advising each other to report them) and that the ASA didn't uphold any of the instances reported.

Re MoD's scrawled AD thing - do you mean the scribbles she did to obscure some messy areas in her bedroom? One of those looks like AD if you squint

Not an #ad at least but MOD is nicely demonstrating how “fiercely protective” she is of her children in FOD’s latest photo showing their daughter having a crap to 839,000 strangers on the internet.

Sofialemon. Perhaps don't seek advice from complete strangers on important issues. I do find that element of MN really odd. Would you launch into an advice session from a massive group of strangers in real life?

That doesnt really make sense. If there are lots of threads and lots of examples, surely it would be very quick to find examples. It would only take a long time if there were lots of threads and very few or no examples. As that would take quite a while to go through them all to try and find something

Ktay. Do you don't think that says ad?

Cady apologies., it wasn’t you with that comment .

Sorry.

Sofialemon how do you know that no complaints were upheld? MOD clearly went back and added #ad to old posts. Have a look.
