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.

I can't stand textspeak either or 'your' instead of 'you're' but I'm so rubbish at typing I don't think I have much place to talk!

VictorianSqualor · 19/11/2007 16:27

hahah, peachy, not just 12 buggies but 'their' instead of 'they're'
Do you think this is halfway hormones kicking in??

Peachy · 19/11/2007 16:31

I am NOT halfway VS! I am 22 weeks today I shall inform you! I am so not planning a 44 week pregnancy......
