How can Mumsnetters

[SheSaidHummingbird]

Is it possible for Mumsnetters to discuss male users of this site without breaking the Talk Guidelines? Or is this a forbidden topic?

I don’t understand why you wouldn’t use the threads they are posting on to discuss with other users?

What do you envisage being discussed in an entirely separate “thread for talking about male users”?

christ almighty

Most of them of unpleasant twats on mumsnet. So such a forum would just be a bitch fest (fun though!)

not “most of them” in RL!!!

i meant most of them on mumsnet

Why do you want to @SheSaidHummingbird?

I can't even respond to your questions. Every comment I want to make is deleted for breaking the rules. It's taboo, apparently.

@idealgift Sadly I suspect that your comment will also be removed.

@idealgift Exactly. I'm referring to the users of this site, not in RL. Not men in general.

@BIWI Because this is a discussion forum and I would like to have a discussion.

Haven't we had several threads about men on Mumsnet?

So why can't you start a thread asking what others think about men using this site?

What do you want to discuss?

People seem to think that all users on here are female and mums. This could not be further from the truth! Esp in FWR, many, many users are not female at all

I haven't seen the thread in question, but you can't make personal attacks or troll hunt.

If you're doing either of those then yes your thread will be deleted.

Edit: if you want to get MNs attention and get a response you'll either need to report your own post or post on site stuff.

What do you want to discuss? The fact that they exist? That isn’t news.

@Hereforthebunfights Because they are swiftly deleted

Was it you who started the thread earlier telling male users to leave?

With respect...users is how MN generates revenue. You go around trying to cut the number of users, they're not going to appreciate it much.

Yes you're not allowed to try and hound users off threads etc either.

@Flickersy no, not about a specific thread, just a comment or comments that I would like to make about make users if this website. It seems that users are not allowed to have discussions on this topic.

Then that sounds like it's sailing very close to the personal attack line. So of course it's not allowed.

This is bizarre.

There are lots of men on Mumsnet @SheSaidHummingbird - whether you like it or not.

And although you might be able to get away with a thread about how you don't like that, a thread discussing specific posters (unless you want to heap praise on them) is not going to go down well with anyone, least of all MNHQ.

@Flickersy Not wanting to hound. I want to use this website, as I used to, safe in the knowledge that most threads are genuine and not a deliberate attempt to create news fodder.

Any discussion about men using MN is either going to be a very short great, everyone welcome! conversation, or a pile on from some posters saying men shouldn’t be allowed. The first has no point, and the second is pretty mean.

Were you after the first or the second?

don’t we will

but what does that have to do with male users?

the most bizarre threads get picked up, many nothing to do with gender or men

I haven't a clue what you're on about @SheSaidHummingbird. Why don't you just spit it out? What - exactly - do you feel you aren't able to discuss here that you used to?

I don’t think online chat forums are for you OP
