Questioning mumsnet

[lazylump72]

AIBU maybe I am? Just wanted to know how everyone felt about using mumsnet as a safe place to post,ask for guidance,help and advice when it appears not to be.So is it just a platform for entertainment? It does not seem a safe place when posts become articles or even threads are posted by mumsnet on social media? Seen 3 I recognised on facebook this week.Does this make you wary of posting ? I don;t agree things on this site should be public outside of mumsnet What do you all think?

@AlternativePerspective

I agree with @ Sparklingbrook i think that people need to get past this notion that MN is the be all and end all.

I’ve lost count of the number of times that people have questioned the removal of a post etc because “mumsnet might be their only source of support.” No. It really shouldn’t be.

And when the decision was made to remove any post where an OP was talking about suicide there was some outcry among many for the same reasons. When actually it shouldn’t be down to posters on MN to be there for someone who wants to commit suicide. That person needs professional help, and MN’ers just aren’t in a position to offer that.

I am VERY sceptical ehrn there is the outcry. I strongly believe some people have this as kind of an interactive Hollyoaks. And that's fucking dangerous. If a post like that is removed, Mzn always posts some info where OP can find help or say they messaged them. M To be frank, MN is NOT a healthy place.
