Unwelcome visitors - and recent "unpopular" threads

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

in which case drink copious amounts and scoff many biscuts

manicbmc · 09/02/2011 19:53

Wish I had some Wine

jsgirl · 09/02/2011 19:53

Have to say I think some of the language being used on here is completely uncalled for.

"Hoover" "Iron".

Disgusting. It'll be "dusting" or some such next.

Tut.

Glitterknickaz · 09/02/2011 19:53

I have vodka. That'll do.

manicbmc · 09/02/2011 19:54

The 'D' word! Grin

BelleDameSansMerci · 09/02/2011 19:55

Oh I'm so relieved...

I was hating the way things were going (and seeing all the stuff on Twitter with well loved people saying they were leaving).

WRT to that thread (which I didn't go anywhere near) I think it was started as a lighthearted thread that got out of hand eg:

"What unpopular view? Oooh I like a Gregg's sausage roll..." Or "I hate Ocado"

May have got that wrong though.

I thought it was just me thinking that MN had changed completely ..so glad there was a reason for it

Jsgirl
Sorry. Shall I ask MNHQ to delete that post?

I know it wrong, and I know that I may have upset some posters that have been through this before. I did not mean to offend anyone.

I only did it the once. Well, twice really. But the first time doesn't count.

Memoo · 09/02/2011 19:58

Beer, I have a dog and my house doesn't smell so I'm sure yours doesn't either.

jsgirl · 09/02/2011 20:01

Your post can stay MmeLindt as long as you promise not to do it again and clean up that potty mouth of yours.

A glass of Wine should do it!

bullet234 · 09/02/2011 20:06

were they those from the 'bad mothers club'??

No they weren't. At least I presume not. I post on that site and I've been posting sporadically on here for a while as well.

whomovedmychocolate · 09/02/2011 20:07

I am planning to build a stonewall of biscuits to the next twat who attempts to storm threads while I'm around.

Like this:

catinthehat2 · 09/02/2011 20:11

I have GOT TO GO OUT NOW.

do not do anything exciting while I am gone.

ShirleyKnot · 09/02/2011 20:11

I've just looked at BMC and am quite shocked at some of the stuff that was said on there about other mumsnetters and now it all becomes fucking clear.

so.

Habbibu · 09/02/2011 20:13

stone biscuits? I'm not coming to yours for tea.

usualsuspect · 09/02/2011 20:13

Yes I've read that thread on BMC too ..but its not them is it? Confused

cakeywakey · 09/02/2011 20:13

Are they like rock cakes? They're horrible too.

ShirleyKnot · 09/02/2011 20:14

No, usual.

I was just pondering and thinking "Well, fuck me"

bullet234 · 09/02/2011 20:15

No.
It is not us.
BMC I mean.
