To think that ppl should stop posting things that clearly aren't AIBU under AIBU?

[HelterSkelter224]

Just that.

YABU for not adding a voting option 😂

Doh 🤦‍♀️

Voting options are useless because the iPhone app doesn't have the votes 🤷🏼‍♀️

I agree with you.

Sick of seeing the gender debate seeping into AIBU, especially as they have their own section to carry on in.

I agree OP. In fact if I open a post and it starts I know I shouldn't be posting here but posting for traffic I immediately close it! Childish

Yeah that really bugs me!

Over the last 11+ years I have seen thousands of these threads and posts complaining that people use the busiest board the most.

You can’t control how other people use mumsnet.

You can scroll past threads you don’t like

It’s fucking everything these days YANBU OP

YABU

Shouldn't this be in "site stuff" 😉

I'm pretty sure 95% of AIBU posts could be reassigned to a different board but then that would make AIBU redundant.

If you don't like something then just scroll past

Just find another thread? 🤷🏻‍♀️

The problem is the other boards get literally zero traffic now. It didn't used to be as bad, you would get a few less replies on other topics but now it's a good chance you'll get no replies at all unless your thread is in AIBU.

Shame because it then is a self-perpetuating cycle.

Unless the vote is "AIBU to think that the iPhone app is the best way to access MN?" then you'll probably get a representative sample vote from everyone who MNs any other way.

I agree with you. The “AIBU to ask something completely not AIBU related” threads are so annoying. Post it in chat ffs.

Carry on in? Really?? Did you mean to be so rude?

AIBU to think that male criminals should not be placed in women's prisons? Seems a perfectly reasonable AIBU question, whether or not you think the poster IBU or INBU.

The only criteria for a post in AIBU is whether or not the poster is being unreasonable.

OP. I wish. I've posted about this another thread recently.

So much should be and would be better responded to Relationships is posted in AIBU.

Also why the stuff about activating voting in AIBU? It's an option.

Why does that make them useless?

It just means a small number of users can't vote.

Yes. You are not being unreasonable to say that it is unreasonable to post in the am I being unreasonable section unless the OP genuinely needs to ask "am I being unreasonable?" I think it's perfectly reasonable to point this out.

YANBU

Touché !

I only ever click on Active threads, not specific boards, but even I've noticed this.

I have some boards blocked so they don't appear in my active list.

This is weird because I only use MN on my iPhone and I can always vote.

I don’t use the app tho because I really don’t like it.

@Happylittlechicken

Yes I did.

YANBU. It annoys me, too.

Maybe we should all make a point of reporting such posts, asking for them to be moved to their appropriate topic? If all were moved shortly after being created, perhaps that would put an end to people dumping everything into AIBU.
