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

Pretty please...

Hi Pag,

We would love to, however, they do fit into various topics.

In the News, AIBU, Politics and _Chat. If you see any that have obviously been posted in the wrong section please do report them to us.

We have made one of the threads a Discussion of the Day, hopefully the majority will join in with this thread rather than start another one.

Hully, please don't shoot me

Hello,
We can see where you're coming from, we know it's wearing, particularly if you feel you are part of a group that is under attack but as a rule we don't interfere in the boards for situations like this.

Here's why:
We do allow debate here, and that includes contrary, insensitive and sometimes downright unpleasant opinions. Many of the threads about benefits and cuts merely reflect an ideological discourse that is right at the heart of the political debate in this country right now about the size of the state. It would feel odd to us to insist that those on one side of that argument had to stick to one thread when we have always adopted a politically neutral position - we are for all mums not just mums of the left or right.

Madeleine McCann was a bit of a one off (hopefully) for a few reasons - it spawned many more threads than usual, taking up almost half of active conversations at one point, it went on for eons (literally months and months) and it was so intensely personal about one particular family.

I know this is not the answer many of you want to hear but obviously there is the option to hide a thread on active conversations and we will, of course delete any posts that go beyond debate about government spending and into disablist territory. We will also ban anyone who is obviously only here to try to inflame - please do report any instances you see.

@Hullygully

Yy, surely they belong in politics?

We'd be more than happy to move threads to Politics or even In the News. Do report ones that might have strayed...

[quote Pagwatch]Yes yes.
Putting them all in politics would help.

I could just hide it for a while

@FoofFighter

yy to politics thank you Heken

Just to clarify, we'll move them to Politics/In the News if that's where they clearly belong - ie the OP has clearly started them in the wrong topic.
Do report to us any threads that fit the bill...

HelenMumsnet · 27/01/2012 18:15
