Come and talk to MNHQ: live webchat about moderation and stuff with Justine and HelenMN, Thursday 4 October, 1pm-2pm

[HelenMumsnet]

Hello. We hope you all already feel you can talk to us at MNHQ anytime - either by starting a thread in Site Stuff or by mailing us or reporting a post.

But we also thought it might be useful/interesting to have a live discussion about how how about we do things re moderation etc...

So, we're hosting our very own MNHQ live webchat!

Please do join us at 1pm on Thursday to ask (more or less) anything you want. And, if you can't make then, do feel free to post a nice question here in advance.

I did consider the ironic/teenspeak side, but well, just maybe Justine accidentally got it wrong for once

Are all the Techs men?
And if so, why?

Really, there was ColletteTech but I don't know where she has gone.

There absolutely was a ColletteTech. I complimented her on her name.

There was NikitaTech too

NikitaTech sounds awesomely cool. Can imagine her as a v powerful character in some complicated computer game set in the former Eastern bloc.

Mumsnetski?

ColetteTech is around and NikitaTech left a while ago to have her little boy.
We also have a Tech called Rachel

I haven't seen you around much. It's usually Helen and Olivia and Rowan telling us off these days . And Justine is appearing scarily often [wibble]

I agree maryz...Justine has suddenly been around a lot...

That's very brave Colette, sticking your head up above the parapet. People will be asking you to give Tech a kick up the backside explain the 9 o'clock slowdown if you aren't careful .

I'm always here MaryZed, busy pedalling behind the scenes. I'll try and come and say hi more often

There's a TechBaby?!?

I dunno Rebecca. Behind the scenes (with gin and biscuits) sounds like a lovely safe place to be these days.

Stay away from Tech Beardy

I like the Techs. They keep this ship afloat! I'm just prone to an overactive imagination and saw this when a tech baby was mentioned.

Although whoever's in charge of MN at 9pm needs some time on the naughty step...

Great webchat, thank you. Echoing some of the others it would be great to have them on a semi-regular basis if possible!

And now I have a new favourite acronym to add to my growing list of favourite acronyms (how sad am I)

YPMYSLAA

almost as good as

TSSDNCOP

YMPYSLAAAHW

I hope they're going to add it to the official list.

I quite like the simple if you break the rules your post gets deleted - especially once someone reports it. I really haven't reported many, but it's been great to see some disappear at my command

As Tech have put there heads above the parapet can I ask why off-line so often, and generally it all seems to be on a go-slow these days ? Anyone else finding this ? Perhaps you're just getting too popular and the system is in danger of melt-down ?

their heads obvs

• saw it just as I pressed post !

@HeartsTrumpDiamonds

almost as good as

TSSDNCOP

Nothing as good as that one

But you must admit it's a pretty close second

Can they both go in the acronyms list? Please?
