To want to skake the 'post and piss off' posters?

I understand sometimes life gets in the way, but I get so pissed off at posters who set off a massive (generally divisive) debate, or do one reponse to a PP, then because the majority of PPs don't agree, the OP pisses off and 867 others are wondering what the f* the OP now thinks. Even when someone @s the OP for a response/update, nothing.
I also understand that it is up to the individual poster, but it's so frustrating! (Maybe I need to get out more!)

It's more prevalent when the OP gets their arse handed to them/not getting the support they were looking for.

I had this conversation with DH just yesterday! Annoys me way more than it should do.

You can write 'fuck' on MN.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 08/05/2024 07:01

I do hope you come back and give us an update. 😂

TheChippendenSpook · 08/05/2024 07:02

Not everyone has their @ notifications on. I've turned mine off as I see it as a summons 🤣

bubblesforbreakfast · 08/05/2024 07:04

Where have you gone OP? Update needed, it's been 15 whole minutes 🤣🤣 yeah it bugs me too

GerminateMyParsnips · 08/05/2024 07:05

There was one the other day - a question which was answered by a couple of hundred post of advice and answers, many of which were thoughtful. Thenone more update from the OP along the lines of 'thanks, I've decided now'. And nothing more.

Drove me mad! Grin

No one owes any of us a response, especially if a bunch of dicks have crapped all over the thread.

Tospyornottospy · 08/05/2024 07:07

YANBU.

was it a rat in the kitchen?! Was it?!
did they give the parched rabbits water?! Did they??

I can predict fairly accurately which threads will be deleted. OP posts then everyone disagrees with them so it gets pulled. The most recent being the child hurting themselves whilst under the parent's 'supervision', and the barely disguised attempt to put in a compo claim.

I've been on MN for a few years.
I've not come across 'dicks' who 'crapped all over the thread'.....?

You can't have been paying attention.

I do feel that was one where we could have been given an update!

Yes to these two!

And the CF allotment thief who was great at updating until they stopped.

blue345 · 08/05/2024 07:19

Yep, the rat silence is very annoying.

Bjorkdidit · 08/05/2024 07:20

The poster who was letting her well paid 26 YO DD live with her for free while the OP was struggling and the DD spent all her money on travel and trinkets never came back either.

I was so over-invested in that thread

I really want to know what happened when the allotment squatter got her marching orders...
