AIBU?

To think that bounty members should stay on thier own site, rather than clutter up ours with pointless remarks?

Or is it just me? Everyone knows if you don't like a thread don't load it and don't post. But to actually go out their way to come from another site to make a thread into another bitch fest is pathetic. If bounty is so bloody good stick to it ffs

No, I feel that those who make an effort to fit in with MN should be made very welcome. But those who come here just to sell should go off to Ebay and leave the buying and selling boards for what they were set up for ie. a place for members of Mumsnet who contribute to have a place to advertise bits and pieces their children have grown out of, unwanted presents etc.

Lissie on the swap shop and for sale thread. Glad to hear that i'm not the only one thinking it then! I've used the for sale bit a fair bit and its been great for me to afford to get some bits for dd's when money is very tight.

It is rather dull but just think how dull it is on bounty for them to come here to cause trouble

I'm just sick to death of the people who run a small business on here tbh and I wish MNHQ would just pull their finger out and do something about it.

AND.....I do know that's stupid of me because it's none of my business and it doesn't hurt me in any way but it still bugs the bollocks off me!!

Oh get a grip.

We've done exactly the same, gatecrashing BabyWorld and assorted other such sites.

(the buying and selling lark p*sses me off no end though. Especially the people with 101 buggies each week who are clearly trading)

I tried to get shot of a Zapp but it kept getting lost in amongst all the Huns with multiple threads and numerous buggies.

Thing is there really isn't that many people like that on for sale threads. Like i said before i use it a fair bit and its been god send to get some clothes once I've sold some bits. Its a shame that its abused

I agree about the commercial sellers - the buying and selling should be for offloading things your kids have grown out of - not for peole trading b**Y prams-its not in the spirit of MN

the buying and selling is spoiling this place
plus the filter thing ( check box) does not work

MNers tend to gatecrash other sites en masse in order to back up a MNer or take exception to a thread we perceive as nasty. Which is exactly what the Bounty members are doing.
