mn hq, is it really wise to have topics that are deamed so agressive/scary that most members don't want to post there?

have just read a thread in the doghouse topic, and posts from a few posters saying that they never post there due to the agressive responses there.

Now, I know that hiding a topic could always be an option, but is it really in the spirit of mn to have separate topics that are deamed so unwelcoming/agressive that few posters actually want to post there?

I can of course see the need for certain sections, conception/sn/relationships, but it just seems against everything that mn stands for to let a topic exist that is frequented only by a few individuals while the majority feel that the responses there are agressive enough to warrant not feeling comfortable there.

Why can't we just go back to having a pets topic?

I am not long back from maternity leave so not aware of any (and apologies in advance for the pun) bitchiness on the doggy boards but we'll have a closer look
We can only reiterate that we look at EVERY single report that comes in, so if you see something you think might be breaking our talk guidelines, please, please, please report it.
THANKS

TheMitfordsMaid - please do tell your friend with the twins to come back - did she report her posts?
That's not what we're about at all.
Thanks for this -we'll take a proper look.

@Lougle

That's the thing QueenofFeckingEverything. I have been a member on Mumsnet for so long, I had to check when I joined in my registration. 6 years. I know how MN works. I know and love the way it operates. But this is something different.

Whilst the poster(s) in question are perhaps not breaking the explicit rules of MN (well let's face it, there aren't many), the sentiments and tone are beyond reasonable, IMO. In fact, I think even the feminist threads are less fierce than The doghouse.

@WorzselMummage

MNHQ have been made aware of the issue before afaik.

hello
Please do (re)report anything specific we should see - there's couple of HQ still on hols and I'm only just back from mat leave so am not entirely clued up.

Thanks
MN Towers

Hello again all
Just to let you know that we'll be taking a closer look at what's been going on when we're all back in the office after the bank hol.
Thanks
