Unwelcome visitors - and recent "unpopular" threads

[HelenMumsnet]

Hello

We thought you should know that we've had a few "visitors" lately who have, collectively, been hellbent on stirring up bunfights on the boards.

They're not your average hairy trucker/bored schoolboy/silly perve but a group from another (now defunct, it seems) forum.

They were behind the Unpopular Opinions thread - and a fair few other threads that have kicked off recently.

We're on the case.

But we would appreciate your help with "Hoovering" up any visitors our Ban button may have missed.

So do report any suspicions using the Report link, and we promise to check 'em out - though it make take us a while

Many thanks, MNHQ

Oh in comes in the super chilled bong hogger...

I'm not really that bitter

slurps dregs of bong water

I haven't a clue what on earth is going on

Who, what, when, where and why

PM me someone?

puhrlease

BoysAreLikeDogs - it's an opportunity for you to talk about your 'unwelcome visitors' - do you have any? And also lust over Alan Rickman.

Or maybe I misunderstood the thread...

mmmm Alan Rickman.

I could sooo do him as Sheriff of nottingham

From the tone of some recent post above, I'm asking "are there some unwelcome visitors among us here?

I lust after Alan Rickman

But only as Sheriff of Nottingham, how weird am I

I was on these unpopular threads and didn't see anything very worrying - I am quite new to MN and thought it was normal for people to be so opinionated!

Is it not allowed to have an un PC opinion even as a joke in a very obvious tongue in cheek way?

I am a bit horrified that MNHQ seems to lack a sense of humour.

Most of us on the unpopular opinions thread were exchanging Mojito recipes and having a bit of fun....and on the gypsy thread most were simply laughing at the big silly frocks!

Who were the 'baddies' I must've missed them?

Am I an unwelcome visitor ?? Feeling a bit unwanted and confused now?

I so know I am going to dream about Alan Rickman tonight, but with banana peel taped all over his body rather than lovely sherrif outfits.

oh nooooooooo

banana peel/Alan Rickman combo not good

I wasn't referring to you candleshoe sorry if it appeared I was. There's a bit of a spat above and it's all a little confusing tbh

I'm not saying anything else it just seems to get out of hand

i am not liking the banana/rickman merge.

if i now dream of fucking a gilf with a yellow slightly bent cock i swear it will be all your fsult

Gilf?

Grandad I'd Like (to) Fuck

OH NO!

I still see him as a dead cello player really though. Very nice.

Also, I have now done a search for 'unpopular threads' on here and now know what it was all about. Guess it may be safe to 'unhide' AIBU threads again.

I am learning a whole lot from this thread - like how to get rid of warts with gaffer tape, what BMC actually is, and the fact that I am so bloody dim that I hadn't realised that all this invasion stuff was going on.

i feel really thick now... how come i have to trawl through a whole flaming linky bmc thread to work out that gigantaur was mamazon?

why can't i keep track of namechanges?
gah.

as per bloody normal.

Far too sodding trusting apparently. I do wish all the non genuine people would just fuck the fuck off. Please.

not a honesty. Just racism, homophobia, disablist ignorance

Alan Rickman wasn't a dead cello player! It was his missus that was dead.
