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

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?

wow more angels - never talk about other people's clothes (I have to confess I usually check I'm out of earshot - but as with being out the earshot of kids may not always 'work' - but that i have on MANY occasions commented ot friends/family about other people's clothes).

sorry - but I remember threads (and sillyness) just like this when I joined back in last December. If I were a gambler I'd put money on being able to look back through the archives and find similar stuff from a LONG time ago.

No, I'm not an angel, I just don't find it necessary to talk about people within their earshot. So call me a sensitive goody-goody if you like - I'd rather that than run the risk of upsetting someone who's not done anything to deserve it.

I don't think that intro thread was meant to be nasty. It was just Cod pointing out that here was one of her hooter threads coming up.

And yes it was unfortunate, but she apologised and then tried to get the poster to engage in frivolous chat.

I just want nice threads, about kittens. No controversy about them. They do parp though.

So, any new games?

Perhaps we could take the piss out of chatnames? They've gone unnoticed really.

just found a "troll hunting" thread from 2003........

I don't think I said it was a new phenomenon, QoQ.

I used to post on a whole different board (a news one) back in 1997. Same type of thing on that then.

no hunker, not unnoticed, I had people making very rude comments about an old chat nickname which really pissed me off.

Kittens

QueenOfQuotes · 24/09/2005 15:59

so if it's not new, and it's been going on since the birth of forums (of all descriptions and subjects) why make a huge issue of it?

Why not just accept it's a part of being online???

Bitchiness and nastiness isn't new either ... does that mean we should just accept it and not find it unpleasant? I know it happens elsewhere too ... doesn't stop it leaving a sour taste in my mouth.

hunkermunker · 24/09/2005 16:00

Don't think I was making a thing of it. Just asking what the next game was.

Like I said - taking the piss out of chatnames, perhaps?

but threads like this only seem to serve to create MORE bitchiness and nastiness.

If you don't like something - why not post on that thread and say "that's not on"? Why start a new thread to cause more disagreement??

PS - found some 'troll hunting' from 2002 now......

hunkermunker · 24/09/2005 16:01

Perhaps we could play "suggest new chatnames for people along the lines of their current ones"

Go on then, hunker ... you start.
