I am sick to death of the same dilemmas and boring old bullshit cropping up over and over. Stop clogging up aibu with your whinging. It's someone else's party you are free to say no to! But yet another 300 posts later the same shit going round and round.

Fuck off out of my active threads and get your own section.

There is a wedding g forum.

Or do you mean a wedding guests forum?

ThisBeTheName · 31/08/2021 09:52

Oh look, it's the AIBU Police!

Will you be demanding that every other AIBU thread goes to the correct section Because they all have them.

KatherineOfGaunt · 31/08/2021 09:53

There is already a wedding section. But people post all sorts in AIBU and chat for traffic. 🤷🏻‍♀️

ThisBeTheName · 31/08/2021 09:54

If we want to pay that game, shouldn't this thread be in Site Stuff?

DuckDuckGooses · 31/08/2021 09:54

Can we do the same for school uniforms?

Oh and parking?

Oh and MIL/PIL drama?

Oh and everyone who says "posting for traffic"

Oh and threads about people moaning about people making threads?

You'd have a dead AIBU section soon.

SmidgenofaPigeon · 31/08/2021 09:54

I’d rather the ‘CF’ threads had their own section to be honest. They’re 90% made up or heavily embellished and attract such sycophantic fan bases.

PaddleBlue · 31/08/2021 09:55

Hah yes this should be in site stuff! And I like the wedding guests threads so I demand they stay as they are Grin

MuthaHubbard · 31/08/2021 09:55

There is a wedding section on here Hmm
And believe it or not, if people comment on a thread there, it becomes an active thread!

moofolk · 31/08/2021 09:55

Can I bring my children to the other thread?

ExplodingCarrots · 31/08/2021 09:56

You ok hun?

KarenofSparta · 31/08/2021 09:57

Were you a bridezilla by any chance OP? 🤣

There is a separate wedding board. But people treat AIBU as a catch all; "for traffic" or because they're too lazy / thick to Google.

AIBU is also frequently treated as a substitute for TripAdvisor, Rightmove, doctors and lawyers.

I wish MN would clamp down on it.

And yes, this thread should be in Site Stuff...

@moofolk

Only if I can bring all my cousins, their partners and children.

They are active because people are commenting on them - if they weren’t of interest / debate they fall out of active PDQ!!

Absolutely. And every other post contains “selfish”. I want to scream every time I see it now.
Yesitsbess · 31/08/2021 10:03

But if all of the things listed above are moved, what would be allowed in this brave new AIBU section?

Lists please!

Betsythecheshirecat · 31/08/2021 10:03

Posting for traffic annoys me. Click bait titles.

Does this look positive to you? Is there a line? At least now we have the added excitement of is it going to be a covid test or.a pregnancy test.

Someone needs to design a problems solving flowchart for wedding dilemmas.

Actual AIBU dilemmas?

Rather than "AIBU to buy this legal and widely available thing because I'm too wet to make any decisions for myself" or "AIBU to not want to stick forks into my eyes" or "AIBU to ask you to think of birthday present ideas for this person you don't know".

Dailyfuckyoumail · 31/08/2021 10:11

A wedding flow chart for decision making for bride, groom and guest as a sticky on aibu would save a lot of wasted typing time on everyones part.

Yesitsbess · 31/08/2021 10:14

@Lockheart I'm not very good at imagining hypothetical AIBUs either.

I do think there should be a sticky for 'Chat' though. AIBU is usually the gateway drug to MN because it (used to be and sometimes still is) quite funny and fast-paced. I didn't didn't know Chat existed for aaaaaaages.

Yep!

You can ask AIBU about any topic. At least most of the wedding ones are asking AIBU, rather than the plenty of threads which have nothing at all to do with reasonableness.
