to get annoyed at the divide of the so called "regular mumsnetters"and the "newbies" ???

[3missyshohoho]

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.

Santasmissy, dont worry its not your ault!! There have been a few threads mentioned here

missy, some people have been really slated after starting newbie/regular threads, you haven't, instead it has turned into a lighthearted thread about names, it isn't just your name that has been mentioned, and you did question cod's, just smile, and join in.

And you are VERY brave to have mentioned cod, as you will see the more often you post

argh, I mean 3missy nto santasmissy.
See the confusion when names are similar?????
The same goes for numbers, it kind of implies that name was already taken so you added a number to get it for yourself iyswim.

hahaha, yes, VERY brave (just don't mention her typing)

pssst....missy ignore walnut...she is an imposter

see?

pmsl

I agree, it does get very confusing with all these similar names

IaMTheReaLWalnuT - I am catatonic with indignation! Do you realise I am armed with a Whip nowadays?!

Hey i've always been a missy. Normally missyhols i'm just feeling festive. you'll always tell me as i'm the one with the dodgy phone posts.

Dodgy phone?

Yeah still don't have b band. So use my phone for internet.

ah, ok gotcha, I thought you meant you posted about phones alot

Lol. No that would just make me weird.

WalnutWhipped- i read that as I am catatonic with irrigation, I had visions of you posting under colonic irigation pmsl!

I wonder, if me or Cod ro one of the most long served members osted on the For Sale threads, wuld we be a For Sale Newbie and told off?

Good job we use ebay in this house!.

I disagree that there's cliquey-ness on mumsnet, just plunge in and post and you'll soon get recognised by others...

Oh, that as well, Peachy, that as well...

Ooo thead carefuly! Lol

Ooo thead carefuly! Lol

YABU.

And it's not just numbers, is it coddy? Its names with "mum" or "mummy" in as well IIRC????

well that'll be me then. But then I wear boden, there's no chance.

Please don't forget text speak. i HATE textspeak on MN. Esp. when combined with numbers- that's a real hun-gem!
