To think MN should ban reverses?

34 replies

Merryoldgoat · 06/05/2022 23:59

Just that really. Along with TAAT and the other ones, shouldn’t reverses also be banned as they’re so fucking annoying?

@MNHQ - what do you think?

This is a TAAT.

Doyoumind · 07/05/2022 00:01

They often do get deleted anyway. They are against guidelines.

Hawkins001 · 07/05/2022 00:01

How can you be sure ?

Are they? I didn’t realise they specifically were.

I suppose I mean the ones where there are 3 pages of nonsense before OP comes along and says ‘yes it’s a reverse - sorry’ and then there are loads more pages of nonsense confusion.

You can report the thread as non-genuine - it would be up to MNHQ if they felt it broke talk guidelines.

I agree, they are pointless - what difference would it make posting the situation the right way round?

NippyWoowoo · 07/05/2022 00:07

Yes I agree

What's TAAT ?

RocketAndAFuckingMelon · 07/05/2022 00:10

Is this a reverse?

WhiteFire · 07/05/2022 00:10

Better than when they start going on about person A and Person B, C, D, E and so forth.

Alliswells · 07/05/2022 00:12

I don't think that one's a reverse. I think it's one of our hairy friends.

Actually laughed out loud there lol

I think some newbies labour under the impression that the vipers will be all nicey-nicey to them if they post as the true 'victim'.

No, they want us to b brutally honest, really give it our worst, both barrels.... and when we do (as we do so well), they run off crying about being outed in real life or something Grin

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 07/05/2022 00:21

Are you suggesting that MNHQ themselves started this thread, trying to get people to gang up on MNHQ and force them to 'do the right thing'? Confused Grin

Sometimes I do wonder if that's the situation with some threads, they cannot handle the heat so to speak , then they want to shut down the kitchen so to speak.

In that case, fair point

Sortilege · 07/05/2022 00:36

I wish they would. Reverses never go well, do they?

quietnightmare · 07/05/2022 00:48

@FleurDeLizz
Ah I see thanks

And then the OP gets confused as to who they assigned to each letter and the whole post ends up a jumbled mess

Think I know which one…

should we report them? So MNHQ flag up the poster as one to watch?
