To ask - IF YOU COULD RUN MUMSNET FOR A DAY - what would you do?

[peachyandkeen]

What changes would you bring in?

What would you get rid of/implement?

Let's hear it - I'm intrigued :)

Ban all the racists.

100% with you on this one @tallduckandhandsome

Add the ability to edit posts to remove typos!!!

I'd also quite like to add clickable reaction buttons at the foot of posts, as seen on Ravelry.

Introduce a time-limited edit button.

YES to the reaction buttons, and yes to editing posts (although I do think that it should show what has been edited perhaps, or a note to say its been edited, like on some other forums.

Probably have a swift and complete nervous breakdown. 🤦🏼‍♀️ But not before I'd outlawed the use of hun, unless referring to early European tribal groupings.

oh. my. god - hun is the worst - I loathe seeing / hearing that word. Totally with you @NewlyGranny

Add lovely pictures, colours, and decorations to the topics list and other headings or subheadings.

Allow loads of fucking expletives 😂

Thumbs up/down buttons on all posts.

@AprilAzpilicueta

100% this..

Ive got Fat Fingers 😩

@IAmJustWondering

Allow loads of fucking expletives 😂

Thought those were allowed anyway?!

(in the titles)

(so the subject of my emails from MN daily would be full of swear words instead of asterisks)

Yes PLEASE 🌸💕

before starting a thread people would have to fill in a flow chart type questionnaire to decide if they should bother starting a thread:
1, do you think YABU? if yes don't bother
2, do you think YANBU but that others will think you are? if yes, don't bother
3, can you Google to find out answer independently? if yes, don't bother
4, seriously, have you even tried Googling this? if no, don't bother
5, are there 4 other threads about this already? if yes, don't bother
6, can you maybe decide on your own what clothes & shoes to wear, what to eat for dinner, what colour to paint your bathroom and what to name your baby? you know, like an adult? if yes don't bother, if no still don't bother, just make a decision like a fucking adult.
And don't name your kid Swan ffs
7, are you a troll? if yes, fuck off

hahaha - this is superb!

Allow women to post things they have been banned from posting because it risks offending randoms who aren’t even on mumsnet, but trawl the feminist boards looking for things to be offended about and then reporting them to MNHQ.

Stop all the abbreviations. What's with all the "dear" this and that anyway? Why are they always dear?

Allow people to correctly sex men and women.

Allow discussions of biology.

Yeah I hear you on this one!

@NotTheFunKindOfFeminist

Agreed!

@MyrrAgain Yes!! Especially when the “abbreviation” doesn’t actually shorten anything! “DDog”…just no!! Instaban

Well I'd take all the shit that doesn't belong here out of AIBU for a start...

@peachyandkeen

I wanted that off my chest for years.
thanks for the opportunity

@Lockheart

Oh lighten up! AIBU gets loads of traction so it makes sense that people post here for responses. Maybe if MN reformatted the website then this wouldn't happen?
