Can everyone stop asking for handholds!

That is all.

@MrsRobbieHart

Damn. Forgot to paste. I was responding to

You know when a thought runs through your head? Sometimes, for kindness, it's better to leave it in there.

Did I say #BeKind?

If I did, that would be what I meant.

What I meant to say would have got me a warning from MNHQ, so I phrased it in that way instead.

In a roundabout way, I think you did.

Grin go for it! I won’t report. Get it out of your system.

I feel the same when posters begin threads with ‘Please be kind’. Despite AIBU’s reputation, I still think more people are kind than unkind - and anyone who was planning to be unkind is unlikely to have their mind changed by this request.

Nah, goady cheap threads like this one would be a piss poor reason for getting banned tbh.

At least if it's in their thread titles they're not AIBU click bait Wink

If you don't like it you don't have to read the thread. People generally use it when they need support and from what I have seen on Mumsnet, a lot of kind souls offer a listening ear on here. Atleast 'handhold' in the title will give you an idea of the type of thread it is. Unlike yours.

You’d just have your post deleted though, you wouldn’t be banned?

Not that I’m saying you should post whatever it was! Grin your choice of course. Just saying it wouldn’t get you banned.

Can we also ban threads with uninformative one word titles that give no clue as to what the thread is about, such as ‘Probably’?

You can ask. I’ll add it too the list.
