Am I being unreasonable to thinks MN has become full of blokes lately?

I have been absent for a while and I am suddenly seeing lots of blokes usernames. Could yous not go and create a Dadsnet or summat so women can talk freely and openly without being monitored by men? @mumsnet

Hi everyone. Thanks for your comments. There are a few things mentioned here we'd like to address.

Mumsnet is a post-moderated forum. We get around 30,000 posts every day and so we rely on (and hugely appreciate) user reports as we may not see a post unless it's reported. Unlike many platforms, we have a team of trained, human community managers who read and respond to every single report. We're always happy to explain our reasoning if you're ever unsure or unhappy with a decision we've made.

Personal attacks are a clear breach of our Talk guidelines and would be removed - but again, if you don't report them, we're unlikely to know about it.

As for blokes - we've never said that Mumsnet is for women only. Our mission is to make parents' lives easier and we very much hope that includes all parents. (We also have a fair few members who are not parents.) Broadly speaking, if you are happy to post within our guidelines then you're welcome on Mumsnet.

Hi all

We are just popping in to say we answer nearly every report.

If you'd like further clarification, you're always welcome to ask for that too and we will do our best to get back to you.

We are post-moderated, so we really won't see posts that break talk guidelines unless reported to us!
