Sex topics appearing on active. Please vote

[justcallmebozo]

I want things to go back to how they were before. Posters on both sides of the argument are wanting the same thing. For it to be removed from Active. But this has all got very silly, and very nasty, and arguing doesn't change anything.
I don't know what it would take for MNHQ to listen to us, but surely if we voted overwhelmingly, MNHQ just might take notice? Worth a try, isn't it?

So if you want things to go back to how it was before please vote YANBU.

No need to leave comments, there's enough other threads for those who want a rant.

But please just vote.
YANBU if you want it removed from Active
YABU if you want it to remain on Active

This is no longer a site made by women for women. That ship sailed a long time ago.

It was never a site made by women and for women. As I recall, Justine had the idea after a bad holiday, she mentioned it to Carrie who thought it was a good idea, but neither could actually code. They had a friend who could though, Steven Cassidy. Rest is history.

Tag line is by parents, for parents.

That's very true, I was thinking for the posters that say they are reading threads on active with family members around them

Yanbu

YANBU, go back to hiding by default and let those who want it on active unhide it.

It's not MNHQ's responsibility to ensure children don't see thread titles that they shouldn't.

That's entirely on the parents and no-one else.

I really couldn't care less

YANBU. I like to browse MN on my lunch break. I don't really want titles like HELP WITH ANAL appearing on the screen.

I've done similar but in a cafe and tried to scroll past quickly or adjust the brightness levels to make it difficult to see.

You could just not open sex threads

I'm glad to see over 80% agree YANBU OP. Mumsnet is a wonderful site, but why must debauchery be mentioned on any topic - have people got no decency? Sex should not be spoken about online ( or off it) and should be between married couples but we live in an age of sin. I read a topic the other day where a trollop was talking about a man's do dah and nearly spat my tea out where she even mentioned size. It's vile and should be reported but sadly it's a sign of the times we are in.

Sex is for procreation as God intended , certainly not for tittle tattle. I used to watch television until around 10 pm but recently sights of sexual scenes meant I had no option but to make sure I turned my tv off at 9pm for the watershed. I'm 76 but unlike many have some morality and decency.

Are you a bit hard of thinking?

The OP doesn’t have an issue with the sex topic or the sex threads.

I couldn't agree more. I know a couple near me who are basically "living in sin" ( unmarried). I frequently inform people in the village what they are up to as my husband found out they weren't even married. Locals have monthly meetings at the village hall to discuss local matters and we agree it lowers the tone of the community. Most of us are decent, moral people and seedy immoral behaviour isn't just online but off it. It leads to crime, debauchery and sin but I try to not get angry realising what awaits them in the afterlife. Karma as they say and without wishing to sound too unforgiving or unkind, it's good to know those people not engaging in this dirty behaviour will be going to a better place unlike those where the elevator will be going downstairs so to speak when the time comes

@justcallmebozo

You know you can stop it appearing in active for you ? Mn don't actually need to do anything- you just tweak a setting yourself (open image attached)

YANBU
For some reason I can't hide it - or anything else - as MN is ridiculously glitchy for me in general atm so I can't adjust settings.
I don't use this word lightly as I think it's overused, but I'm finding it triggering. I have pretty severe trauma and I don't like that MN isn't taking this seriously

Given how this site is still showing the posts of sinners ( sexual topics) I shall be leaving it as I don't think it is the place for me.

Is there an option for "i don't give a single fuck" I don't want to have sex at all, but I'm not offended by people who want to talk about it. Those people who want blokes to have text sex with are bizarre though, seriously its just odd.

The 'promoted by mumsnet' threads are annoying too. Tell us what you think of kids TV or whatever, er no. Just feels like free information

Which is OF COURSE what MN is anyway, but too blatant

Are you being serious?

People have sex for FUN, SHOCK AND HORROR.

I agree, why would children be on this site anyway?

I don’t think people are saying children would be on the site, just that when they are the children may be sat next to them. Or glance over their shoulder.
The thread titles in Active might not be what they’ve want them to see. 🤷‍♀️
So before the change it was fine and now it isn’t. As Sex Topic keeps unhiding itself.

@Annoyingwurringnoise i agree with you about the boundary pushing.

I am pregnant with a two year old. MN seem very intent on telling me how important my sex life is, and how having small children should not impede on it. I’m fed up of it to be honest.

No, no - stay! You’re my favourite contributor.

If Esther goes, I go. And I’m sure I won’t be the only one.

I think @EstherPearson is 8 years too late.

TBH if we want MN to be safe for small children to see over your shoulder then someone's going to have to tell AnyFucker.
