Should we start every thread with a disclaimer?

[SoRainbowRhythms]

I've seen it on various Black Mumsnetters posts and it seems a good idea. The wording an OP on there used was "In case this comes up on Trending or Active, this is the Black MNetters board and I’m actively looking for opinions from Black women only!"

Something to try? We could at least ask people to be respectful to the fact this is the CF forum.

Apart from a legacy to the cat rescue I volunteer with & some bits for friends, mine’s all divided between my niece & nephew, which makes it simple at least. Since they’re also the heirs for my fairly well off brother & sister, though, I think they’re going to be rolling in it & whatever I have left over for them will simply be a bonus.

That's starting to look tempting for me as well, NunsKnickers. Live fast, die poor. 😆

Totally!

I also think it was the assumption that any thread posted on the childfree board is automatically a childfree/parenting issue that pissed me off. Like they cannot imagine a whole conversation between childfree people that doesn't automatically centre parents

That hadn't occurred to me before, but you're right. It's beginning to feel like every conversation gets dragged back to that issue, parents vs nonparents, whereas what we wanted was a board where you could discuss stuff like inheritance, retirement, holidays when you're CF AND single, dating (how do you broach the not wanting kids issue) and the like. Perhaps we need to be more robust with reminding people what we are about.
