What's the next "make MN unwelcoming" game going to be?

[hunkermunker]

We've had "out the troll" when a newbie posts.

We've had "PARP at the thread" when an oft-posted topic is posted again.

Anyone got any others?

Here, here HM. Mn has changed loads and I know lots of people are unhappy with this stuff.

this

woohoo - and QueenOfQuotes now officaly has a 'thread killing' rate of 25%

dont forget the 'how dare you post on my board' thread a while ago

(better now qoq?)

lol Sally

"take the p*ss out of people who post innane chatter on one thread only"

Do you know there is one mn name that sticks out as ring leader to all of this.

Ooops I am really trying to keep out of trouble >

blossomhill, I dont think there is just one person.

If youre talking about cod, I think her original joke about hooters has backfired a bit. She originally meant threads where you are tempted to get mad and post something stupid. I think any of us who have got involved in breastfeeding/male nanny/leaving your child alone type of threads know what that means.

generally, anyone who posts contributes to making mumsnet more or less welcoming.

I Just don't understand why people can not just come on here and chat/discuss things, why is there certain people on here who actually believe they own Mn?? No one is more inportant than anyone else on here so why think they are so such much higher??
In my honest opinion i just think the people that are like this must have a very sad lonely life or even have no life that they have to sit at there pc and watch and interfere as if they are the police ffs get over yourselves.

Sorry i never have a rant either but it is just getting right on my nerves

"No one is more inportant than anyone else on here"

True but some members seem to be held in higher 'esteem' than others, and if they don't post/announce they're leaving indefinitely, or just for a while get a much larger collection of "oh don't leave your advice is invaluable" threads for them

So who do you think are the people who think they 'own' it then??? I'm genuinely intrigued, because all I see is people "being themselves" horror!

My jaw dropped when a new poster started a thread to introduce herself, and the first post on it was "parp". Not really the most pleasant introduction to MN.

oops i totally agree with you.

I will not get into the name mentioning as i really do think it's just playground stuff, but we all have our own opinion and to be honest i just wish i had not even written what i did as i new someone would have to come jump me but hey thats mn these days

I would like to say tell me you are joking, but you are not are you ?

The thing I find is that people are probably far more upfront on here and if you met them in rl wouldn't say half the things they do.

Have to say though have met a few mn in rl and they were all lovely

lgj - joking about what?

QoQ - if you posted names here, the supporters would arrive, you'd be lambasted for daring to speak out of turn and it would all get very mean. I've seen it happen so many times that it's just not worth it

Sorry that was for WWB I just type slowly.

The hooter thing is being misunderstood. It's threads that you know you shouldn't post on as you'll let rip- there's nothing wrong with the thread itself. So for me vaccinations, and disabled parking.

To be honest i have not even read any threads about this hooter thing, i don't even know what its all about, Maybe i should go have a little read or errr maybe not ?

I just see people as I see people in rl.

You've got several 'groups'

Those that barge in without introduction - and to the 'untrained' eye would like like they've been here/known people here forever

Those that come in and introduce themselves, almost in a "can I join you" type way.

Then once they've 'arrived'.....we have

Those that are quite happy to open their big gobs and say what they think, without worrying what other people think.

Those that sit quietly at the side, and only "speak" occasionaly

Those that speak out, loud and frequently, but do their utmost to "keep the peace"

Those that don't speak very often, but when they do - boy do you know it
