Zombie is old. Zombie is grumpy. She freely admits to those.

Zombie also has one tit left and there are a few posters who are really, really getting on it.

It's getting to the point that she's about ready to take an extended MN holiday just for the sake of her blood pressure and her sanity.

Please, please may we have a hide poster button?

But you can rub people out in real life.

Not that I kill them, or anything, I hasten to add. But you can plot people's downfall freeze people out. You don't have to wilfully put up with any old twat in real life.

In response to your mucho confusion Rebecca - there won't be. Nobody would know. You would only have missing posts on your own threads - it won't effect anyone else's.

Mind you, if we are talking about what is or isn't very mumsnet, I would say that 80% of AIBU completely goes against the MN ethos of helping parents nowadays.

But - I know that you don't want to introduce this feature and that's fair enough. I will just buy a couple of voodoo dolls.

GetOrf's a mobster, sending people to "sleep with the fishes" Shock

I'm still pro hiding posters. There are some thoroughly annoying people out there, and as much as I try to ignore them myself, they're still THERE.

And poor Zombie, at least for Zombie's sake (and her remaining tit)

GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan · 04/01/2013 10:29

I AM a mobster.

Just call me Silvio.

Capeesh?

Absy · 04/01/2013 10:50

"don't ever take sides against the GetOrf family"

Pagwatch · 04/01/2013 10:54

Capeesh !

I love capeesh.

Pagwatch · 04/01/2013 10:54

For. For.

No one would check a horses head.

ginhag · 04/01/2013 11:02

Well I do spout my dubious wit all over the place at times...

ginhag · 04/01/2013 11:04

Btw, I do a lot of 'start reading thread, hide thread, run away'. Am dead hard like that Hmm

Mn should have guest moderators every now and again. It could be a prize or something

"thread deleted as pagwatchmumsnet thinks the OP is a shite slinging twat"

"post deleted as op clearly didn't think it through"

"deleted by Pagwatchmumsnet because fuck you"

Absy · 04/01/2013 11:17

Yes! Guest Moderators!

"The Camping Topic has been deleted for today, because Absy just doesn't do Camping".

"Deleted for being too long - - I'm lazy"

GetorfsaMotherfuckingMorrisMan · 04/01/2013 11:20

lol at ginhag.

I would love guest moderation. I would create a topic called Cunty Corner and shove a load of threads in there.

I would also permit a 'name the MNers you loathe' thread with a complete amnesty on deletions.

I would be a terribly reasonable guest moderator.

BoffinMum · 04/01/2013 11:26

We should have a real life 'delete' button like in Doctor Who so the annoying posters are TAKEN OUT and exploded remotely. Much more satisfying. Even if we don't get to hear the squelch, we would hear about it in the news and could nod knowingly as the authorities tried to work out what the fuck had happened.

mn discussion forum,for discussion of topics.inherent in that is expectation of difference
if you really can't tolerate different pov people irk so much you need to hide,that's your issue.not theirs
The whole point mn is the range,depth and eclectic pov.yes it's random,can be annoying...that's the point

Justine's justification doesn't make sense because it's an option for individual posters, part of our customising toolbar whatever. It's not like that poster's contributions will be deleted for everyone, just for individuals.

I bet it would cut a lot of the pointless argybargy. Probably lead to less work for MNHQ having to delete threads that ascend to the worst personal attacks.

FairyJen · 04/01/2013 11:47

I just want to no of I'm on the otw list....

GrumpySod · 04/01/2013 11:47

If MNHQ said "We can't afford to pay Tech to find an efficient way to implement it" I would understand.

  • know if

Well I'm definatly on the pedants one now!
