daily mail link to an article harvesting threads

I've got the kitten blocker installed, which threads have they been using?

esiotrot2015 · 16/03/2015 20:12

Messy room thread

I don't really see the problem

Anything you say on here is free for anyone to read

Just like the mail online

esiotrot2015 · 16/03/2015 20:14

I do love the name Bell McEnd though Grin

People should be aware though any photos they put in here can end up in daily newspapers

Carpetcrawler · 16/03/2015 20:17

If the subject of that thread finds out, he might have a problem with it though.

I'd be very wary of posting anything about my children on here in case it ended up all over the Media.

LadyDeadpool · 16/03/2015 20:21

Seems to have brought an influx of nasty trolls with it too going by the post by "hitlerdidnothingwrong69" I just reported.

Carpetcrawler · 16/03/2015 20:34

I've spotted 2 trolls already.

Can you see a problem yet?

PacificDogwood · 16/03/2015 20:36

Ah, nooooooo, not again! HmmAngry

I was just about to post about this. I know that everything on here can be read by anyone, but I am uncomfortable thinking that things I post may end up in the daily mail. I posted a bf question a few years ago and spotted it in a blog post by a journalist a few weeks later saying 'recently on mn someone asked this...'. I wasn't recognisable but still felt a bit violated, and I am a journalist myself. But I would only ever use MN to get ideas rather than to steal threads per se.

TiggyD · 16/03/2015 21:30

They must have permission from MNHQ to use the image, surely?

PacificDogwood · 16/03/2015 21:31

On reflection, I thought MNHQ had copyright for anything posted on here?
Hence the books?
Confused

Sparklingbrook · 16/03/2015 21:31

It will be on The Wright Stuff and Loose Women next. Hmm

Mintyy · 16/03/2015 21:37

Oh fgs.

QueenBean · 16/03/2015 21:37

It's ridiculous

MN, do you lead gutter journalists to look at this stuff?

MN at it's best is an informative, supportive place that caters for a wide range of topics and opinions. At worst, it's bitchy and smutty. Why so the latter threads always make the press?

It makes MN look like a bunch of sad mummies tittering over willies

PacificDogwood · 16/03/2015 21:38

The Wright Stuff once quoted me I cannot remember about what Hmm

Sparklingbrook · 16/03/2015 21:41

Was it the clock on the mantelpiece thread PD?

I got quoted in the DM about Mandy Holden and in the Telegraph magazine about Tunnocks Tea Cakes. Blush

PacificDogwood · 16/03/2015 21:42

No idea, Sparkling Blush

MrSlant · 16/03/2015 21:44

I got quoted in The Sunday Times offering up semi naked photo's of Keanu Reeves. It was my finest hour. Grin

meditrina · 16/03/2015 21:47

Which image?

The only three I could see were of a Pringles tube (just in case anyone didn't know what one looks like), one teen in bedroom captioned 'posed by a model', and another one which appeared to be the bedroom in which the model posed.

(I've had a post quoted by DM. Perhaps we need a kitten-proof quiche?)

NormHonal · 16/03/2015 21:48

Not again?! I'm off to hide in "Good Housekeeping" until this all blows over.

OwlCapone · 16/03/2015 21:51

There were no photos on the thread. The ones in the paper were all stock photos I imagine, or photos of DM journo bedrooms.

Sparklingbrook · 16/03/2015 21:55

Why did they put up a screen shot of the OP? Confused

EmpressOfJurisfiction · 16/03/2015 22:02

I remember a sudden rush of anti-Fail usernames last time. Anyone feeling inspired?

TheDailyMailIsAPileOfPoo · 23/03/2015 03:54

Publishing screenshots of whole MN pages is particularly flagrant and lazy.
