Forgive me if this has been a topic of discussion in the past but following on from a recent thread in the for sale section of MN I was wondering what others thought about this.

It makes me so cross on the for sale board saying "will only sell to or prefer to sell to regular MN" I can understand they don't want any funny business as there has been the odd scammer on here ripping people off, but it puts newer members off asking anything in fear that they will get shunned! And even if you haven't just joined - when is it exactly does one become a "regular" MN?

I have come on here daily for approx 7 months now.... Although I haven't posted on all of the talk boards I have certainly posted on a few in the past and often browse topics similar to ones I may be experienceing at the present for advice. I mainly buy off the for sale board and have sold a couple of bits as well.

I feel there is to much cliqiness amongst the "regulars" which puts off some mums from ever posting.

OP - I'm a relative newbie to MN and not noticed any intentional boycotting or flaming of my posts or threads ... I will say though that visiting any Internet message board can take a while to fit in and be "accepted".

Mind you, I've yet to venture into the For Sale bit...

BIN THE NUMBER BIN THENUMBER

Walnutshell · 19/11/2007 14:09

What's the number thing?

3missyshohoho · 19/11/2007 14:10

Pardon!! why should I? FWIW my parents call me and my two daughters their 3missys - hence my name...

There are a load of MN with numbers in there name. Why should it matter if there is number in anyones name?

irrational diaslike of numbers - cod psychology or blatant attempt to wind up annoy air irrational beliefs

VictorianSqualor · 19/11/2007 14:21

It's because of her fishlike memory, all the people with the number three become the same person, so you are now infact one part of a ten person personality.
