Has anybody had inappropriate pm’s on mumsnet?

I’ve never checked my m’s partly, partly because I never thought I’d get any. I saw today where they were - and this was from March this year. I didn’t realize people were looking for hookups on mumsnet. Has anybody else experienced this?

Have you reported them to MNHQ?

Tinyandpetite · 10/11/2020 23:18

I have reported it. Although probably a little late as it was a while ago,

Iv had a nasty message but not a sex buddy before :)

DressingGownofDoom · 10/11/2020 23:20

It's because of your username. Get one like mine that screams 'I won't nurse you when you're sick you big useless bastard' and they won't bother you.

Harmarsuperstar · 10/11/2020 23:21

No, never.

veraismyspiritanimal · 10/11/2020 23:22

Yes
I once posted a thread about my other half not wanted to give me oral and someone (pressume a guy) messaged quite crude things

gypsywater · 10/11/2020 23:24

Change your username maybe!

Tinyandpetite · 10/11/2020 23:27

If someone could please tell me how to change my username on an iPhone I’ll do it. It was because I was always referred to at work as- oh x is the tiny one or the petite one, I didn’t think I’d get fuck buddy requests.

How disappointing-I never get any propositions over PM!! Darn it!! I clearly need to change my username. Grin

Tinyandpetite · 10/11/2020 23:33

Saw me today I’d be referred too as ‘rough-as-fuck’ Blush

Yes I have had several. I put it down to commenting in the second forum. (I name change frequently so it can't be that).
In the end, I turned off DM.

user115632569541 · 10/11/2020 23:40

I disabled DMs for reasons like this. Most of the time they only get used for things too inappropriate to post on the main forum that I don't want to receive. It's intrusive.

DaddysGirlForLife · 10/11/2020 23:42

Yes. It was a woman and when she realised I was a woman too, the message disappeared. Haha.
It was definitely sexual.

Osirus · 10/11/2020 23:43

We were in lockdown when they sent that to you as well - a proper chancer!

notangelinajolie · 10/11/2020 23:46

I only get as far as number 1. But if you open them here are steps 2 & 3.

  1. Don't read PMS
  2. If you do feel the need to read - ignore.
  3. And if you can't ignore - report the buggers.
CrapSouzette · 10/11/2020 23:49

I can’t find the messages...

Happy to.

  1. Click the little bobble person too right of screen
  2. Click on “settings”
  3. You might have to log in again but then you should see the field to change username Smile
GroundAlmonds · 10/11/2020 23:51

TO the right...^

GroundAlmonds · 10/11/2020 23:52

TOP right I mean.

Hopefully you can make some sense of that garble.

BonnieDundee · 10/11/2020 23:55

Has anyone else just checked their PMs and been relieved to see its empty Grin

CrapSouzette · 10/11/2020 23:55

Ah! Found it. Thanks.

Chickenwing · 10/11/2020 23:55

Where are messages? (Im using the app)

GroundAlmonds · 10/11/2020 23:55

@CrapSouzette

If you’re in the mobile site, select the little bobble person avatar top right of the screen. This menu will pop up. It’s on there.

Last time I looked there were still no PMs on the app.

Has anybody had inappropriate pm’s on mumsnet?
DioneTheDiabolist · 10/11/2020 23:57

Yes OP, my first PM here was from a male member offering me use of his his male member.🤣🤣🤣
