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

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.

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?

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.
