To feel not witty enough for Mumsnet, but too witty for Netmums

[Tiger929]

They should make another middle of the ground site for people like me. 😂 Is it just me, or do people on Mumsnet seem more "middle class" than people on Netmums?

Yes, there was a flurry of that - I think a lot of people took a look and weren't impressed either by the content or the methodology. Tbh I don't think they're a threat to MN and deleting threads which mention the name merely lends false glamour.

I thought this thread was about wit, not class.

Agree ErrolTheDragon, the new site is perhaps ok if you are heavily into royals, but otherwise no match for MN. Most chat over there is about mn, but then again I suspect a lot of their posters have been banned from here because of royal thread fall outs.

Sad really, if mn ban posters they should know people go elsewhere.

The moderation on MN has become more heavy handed in recent years than historically. There isn’t the lightness of touch there used to be. It’s a shame.

Too many people on netmums say hun or hunny. Crass. Poorly written often too.

I thought the title of your thread was pretty witty

The title is about wit, the OP is about class. Not really sure why they're linked in the OP's mind, except I suppose a written medium can lend itself to 'wit' in the form of wordplay, assumptions of shared cultural references etc? An SM analog of Radio 4 maybe?

Been over to look .
There are not many members . I do not know why Mumsnet feels threatened.
It is different.
I think some felt their opinions were not being heard here . Too many deleted posts and threads .

Maybe if it was signposted on MN as somewhere else women talk with little moderation the trolls, troublemakers and 'monitors' would bugger off there.

What did I say? Lol my post is gone.

@HOkieCOkie i wondered how a post got deleted while being posted?
Was it very offensive? 🤣

@HOkieCOkie

What did I say? Lol my post is gone.

Did you mention the MC site? There is an algorithm that instantly deletes. It happened to me upthread

Not sure I mentioned that site that ppl go on about apparently your not allowed lol

@ErrolTheDragon .

I think there are already several sites for that .

Absolutely agree. It's actually very boring. I think that the truth of the matter is that MNHQ are pissed off with some threads obsessing over Justine. And rightly so. It's all rather grubby.

First I’ve heard of that other place 😮

There is a weirdly obsessive thread about Justine there. Weirdos.

@MaskingForIt

What’s the difference between a Netmums user and a Mumsnet user?

About £30k and a Masters.

Funny, I don't remember being asked to complete a wittiness assessment when I signed up.

Well I agree with Pagwatch.

And please can someone pm me with the name of the other place. Ta.

I have heard that will mean a ban .

It will, that's if the pm hasn't been intercepted and deleted first. Blatant censorship.

If people aren't interested in it then fine, I'm not interested in many other forums. But if some people are interested in using both, then I don't see why it should be disallowed.

@AnneKipanki what a ban for pming someone?? Where on earth did you hear that?
