Because there are so many. And they are so unpleasant.

Pretty please...

Hully made me say something treasonous. Can you have a word with her please? She's running riot!

that is all

KatieMiddleton · 25/01/2012 17:40

MNHQ could you just delete them all? Possibly with Deleted by MNHQ for being unoriginal and a leetle bit thick?

There needs to be some serious kettling of these threads. Too spreadouty and zpoiling the whole arena for my liking.

Sad

Yes. Kettle them. The police do it so it must be ok.

Round them up into a small area where they are not allowed to urinate.

There are about a squillion now aren't there?

Are you reconsidering mnhq, or just embracing the madness?

Maryz is scaring the crap out of me, MNHQ. Are you not frit?

Bestest not upset her further.

The wine may make her fiesty Wink

RowanMumsnet · 25/01/2012 20:37

I'm pretty much permanently frit, but that's neither here nor there really.

I've just come on to this topic to create this thread. Grin

These threads are getting beyond tedious.

The mccann threads were limited to one thread, and it could have been said they belonged in different topics, news (well it was) parenting (re the rights and wrongs... etc and wider discussion) chat (ditto) and yet nobody made that case at the time. Benefits threads are no different and they are starting to give mn a really unpleasant feel, why not just rename it to benefits-r-us.com..

AbsofCroissant · 26/01/2012 10:55

Gwan MNHQ - there's about 6 in In the News alone. Shouldn't ITN be limited to important threads like the possible break up of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, which will lead to me becoming the New Mrs Depp (+ DP. I may have to have my own male Harem).

Surely that's more important than "the government are being annoying" ad nauseum

The policy of just letting new threads spout up is working really well I think.

If by working well I mean creating terrible ill feeling, upset and resentment of course.

C'mon mn. It would just need a 'here is a big benefits cap thread. Can you please post all your points here' and stick them all in there.

I don't think either side of the argument are enjoying it or learning anything. And those not invested either way are mostly Shock

OP posts:
PinotMN · 26/01/2012 13:45

It's almost as if HQ are enjoying the dramz.

Pagwatch · 26/01/2012 13:49

I love mnhq. I am broadly a big suck up.

I think this is a terrible misjudgement.

Vulnerable people are spilling personal information in a desperate attempt to make others understand. People are drawing battle lines between themselves and other posters. Reasonable posting has all but disappeared.
It's awful.

OP posts:
PinotMN · 26/01/2012 13:52

Oh me too, Paggers, it takes A Big Bad Thing for me to criticise them.

But swathes of MN are no-go areas at the moment and that is A Big Bad Thing.

You're so right with the spilling personal info thing. So, so wrong.

TeWihara · 26/01/2012 14:00

Please HQ, it isn't obvious which threads are about it now.

AbsofCroissant · 26/01/2012 15:03

Listen to PagWatch, she's making rather serious and pertinent points.

I complain all the time about everythingy, but Pags is more discerning so listen to her.

KatieMiddleton · 26/01/2012 15:06

YY. To everything.

I reported this thread again to MNHQ and they said they'd look into it but help!

I am going to revive my unreasonable suggestions of things to ban on MN. I have decided I was not at all unreasonable and was actually showing great foresight. I am Sad

Hullygully · 26/01/2012 15:15

I'd shoot em but they took my gun away Sad

KatieMiddleton · 26/01/2012 15:18

Could you defecate love all over them instead? Is that allowed? What's MNHQ's stance on amorous defecation?

Sevenfold · 27/01/2012 15:32

PLEASE MN HQ DO SOMETHING THE DLA BASHING THREADS ARE JUST VILE

redlac · 27/01/2012 15:35

YY to everything Pag has said
