AIBU to make a thread purely to test the AIBU voting?

As per thread title. I seem to have the ability to enable AIBU voting on this thread. So am I being unreasonable to create this thread purely so you can all have a go at voting? Grin

I’ve voted twice.

Those of you who cannot see it (e.g. iPhone app), pop back to the Mumsnet post on the topic and tell them:

I was on the app nothing.
Just come on the website to tell you yanbu Grin hth

Shequakes · 17/06/2019 18:09

I am on the website and I can only vote once

Justkeeprollingalong · 17/06/2019 18:10

I'm on iPhone. No buttons 😢

FuzzyPuffling · 17/06/2019 18:10

Ooohh oooh I voted. Exciting.

Although not sure I want it on the whole of AIBU. Either I'm engaged enough to comment, or I'll just read and run, or I really don't care!

Huggybear16 · 17/06/2019 18:10

I'm now being asked if I prefer gum or mints

SherlockSays · 17/06/2019 18:11

I honestly don't know why you'd release something that wasn't on mobile - surely the majority of MN users are using a device and not a PC? I wouldn't even know what the site looked like on a PC.

I have exercised my franchise

Seasword · 17/06/2019 18:12

Twice

MaximusHeadroom · 17/06/2019 18:13

Having it made clear that the majority think I am right is an unexpected ego boost.

Cue a lot of AIBU threads which are no brainers from me Grin

llangennith · 17/06/2019 18:13

I always do MN on my iPhone so I'll never see it☹️

Broombroomshaketheroom · 17/06/2019 18:13

I like it 😁

UsernameTaken76 · 17/06/2019 18:14

Ooh I like this. Makes so much easier especially when you don’t have much else to say because PP have said it for you.

badguys · 17/06/2019 18:14

I'm on the app and feel left out Envy

Redcherries · 17/06/2019 18:14

I think it’s a good idea for genuine Aibu posts, I quite often can’t decide where the majority is when there’s lots of posts so this clears it up!

Sirzy · 17/06/2019 18:15

I’m on safari on the iPhone and can see it

EggysMom · 17/06/2019 18:16

Had to vote myself to see the current scores on the doors ... I cannot see it cutting down post traffic, people generally have something to say alongside their YADNU responses.

I’m on safari on an iPhone and I can see it.

Excited.

Igmum · 17/06/2019 18:17

Totally NBU but I have no vote 😢 #disenfranchised

ThePhoenixRises · 17/06/2019 18:18

I can see it now

UrsulaPandress · 17/06/2019 18:18

How were you selected?

EggysMom · 17/06/2019 18:18

I’ve changed from my phone to iPad and it was like I got another vote at it. Might be wrong though

Not wrong, entirely possible - I'd imagine it registers a vote against an IP address, and your phone & iPad are likely to be different IP addresses. So if you have multiple devices on which you access MumsNet (I'm a luddite and just have a chromebook) then you could vote more than once. Though tbh, why would you bother Grin

How were you selected?

The SiteStuff post says it's a random 20% of posters. Not sure it's anything to shout about, it's getting a mixed reaction.
