If you owned Mumsnet what changes would you make?

Disclaimer: Not 100% serious at all 😏

Mine would be to ban repeat offenders who don't return to the threads they start.

A mahooosive multicoloured sticky banner reminding OPs to include their kid's ages in the opening post, as it's nearly always relevant.

What would you add/remove/change?

Yes

No need

Yes please

I’ve been here for 24 years. I’ve forgotten my password or had trouble logging back in many times. I must have given up and re registered more times than I can remember.

nope. I like that you have to justify yourself for deleting a cunty post

I would add that when a post is deleted, that poster gets both a PM here from the mods, and an email. So they know. The email/PM to include the text of the post, the reason for deletion and in some circs the ability to edit the post so it can stand in a modified form (with an "edited to conform to MN rules" tag so we know)

Ban men from posting in the sex topic. Grim fuckers.

Ban troll hunting - those smug gits need to bore off.

Bring back the laughing emoji on non sensitive boards.

Stop the ridiculously huge amount of advertising that means the site is always crashing. (This seems to have improved for the minute but you shouldn't have to pay to prevent the site crashing your machine).

Stop threads where people are complaining about neurodiversity when they clearly don't have a clue about it and are basically just being ableist.

Troll hunting is banned, although obviously it can only be policed and deleted after the fact when you report it

Yes, I like yours better

Me too!

The reason mn has so many trolls us because MN want to shoot the messenger rather than the troll.

Are there other pages? I'm here just for the forums.

I agree with you @DameOfThrones , I do not have DCs but post on here about loads of others stuff.

Is anyone else hoping that mnhq are reading this thread and taking notes of what to change next time the do a overhaul.

That's fair, I've not been here that long but I did reregister at some point as well.

I suppose I just want a way of avoiding engaging with brand new posters who bounce in with a controversial story that didn't actually happen.

People who come onto a thread about a celebrity or TV show to say they've never heard of them/it - 2 weeks suspension.

I’d make it so the fucking pages load and reload quickly. It performs so badly, and other sites that rely on ads don’t have this problem. I sometimes refrain from commenting on threads to avoid a reload, and sometimes i just get bored of waiting for the page to load and just leave.

Still disagree with the practice of doing this though. It's one thing to seek it out, but quite another to have it served up in your FB feed. Hence, if I were in charge, I would put a stop to it.

That’s just the internet though isn’t it.

I reckon half of what’s on most forums is made up or heavily exaggerated. I see it as entertainment, not real life.

No, because I suspect they'll ignore our suggestions and change something utterly random that nobody has even mentioned!

Like the recent bloody awful pastel colours that was apparently done by "popular demand", in spite of the fact nobody had seen a single post calling for it. Then they quietly backed down and reinstated the green and purple options that the majority of us had always used.

Oh god yes, this drives me mad. How am I supposed to know what you’re talking about if I can’t see the comment you’re replying to?

That used to be a thing when twas all fields. You could hover over the user name and see how long they had been on MN and their age though it was optional.

If you had ever visited gransnet you'd know why us old relics stay here. There are about three posters who rule the roost and nobody ever replies to you if you're unknown. I'm 67 and gransnet makes me feel like a naughty child.

where is gransnet?

Just a guess, at gransnet.com 😂

Give it up already! Anytime anyone posts they'd like it back, up you pop.
Do you advance search the keyword or something?!

On her head.
