Why are we allowed to namechange? And it has just been made easier to do so within the thread

Just out of interest really.

You can't do it on other sites can you?

I know people like to change for privacy reasons but it just cause misery with people name changing to cause shit.

And the new button down there V makes it possible for someone to really easily sock puppet. I don't see the point in it really.

You have not allowed name changing in the mumsnet local site, however you do still permit users to namechange on request. I wondered if there were plans to introduce that here or if it would cause outrage (who am I kidding, if course it will). Grin

How old are you Gav?

The app has its uses, for long threads it was much easier to get to the end. But that was on my dinosaur-era iphone and it was the first generation of app. Didn't have a high enough ios to download the updated version. Now I have a spanky new Sony something I downloaded the app and promptly deleted again because its crapola. I will stick with the mobile site which is much clearer.

I never namechange. I can't be arsed anymore.

Because we like to annoy all of the people, all of the time

While we're asking for stuff that we're never going to get, could you make the Android app usable? Dh is fed up with cleaning up the blood and mushy bits of flesh after I've clawed my face off in frustration.

I must know what happened with the nn amnesty.

Apparently a technical nightmare that had been never seen before or since.

Best to not talk about it. Out of kindness to Tech if nothing else.

LeGavrOrf · 26/09/2013 21:03

I dearly love tech.

I remember when he posted something waspish using the strikeout function before it was actually a function available to mumsnetters.

And then there was a simultaneous roar from dozens of mumsnetters WE WANT IT and he enabled it after all the nagging.

I think he is a deeply wonderful person.

He is so witty as well.

I wish I was waspish.

In my head I am Nancy Mitford.

In reality I am probably more like Melinda Messenger.

It is a shame.

I like the idea of drugswaps.com

I have 3 tramadol, 7 Valium and 2 quietapine.

Will swap for oramorph.

Goodness. Too much vinocollapso here, obviously. I read that as 'drugswasps'

I hate wasps.

Poledra · 26/09/2013 22:56

Well, the drug wasps could sneak through customs a damn sight easier than mules BIWI. You'd need a swarm for one decent hit though, with the amount they could carry.

BelleOfTheBorstal · 26/09/2013 22:57

I can bring back wholesale quantities of Tylenol pm back from the states, will swap for three hits of fentanyl?

Poledra · 26/09/2013 22:57

I have shitloads of co-codamol - will swap for Wine

BIWI · 26/09/2013 22:57

Bloody hell, Poledra. You have really hit on something there. A way to make wasps actually useful!

CuntyCuntastico123 · 26/09/2013 22:59

I don't see the point of cocodamol. You may as well just have 4 paracetamol and an espresso.

What are fentanyl and Tylenol?
