Can we have a topic where name changing is not allowed?

[WorraLiberty]

Lots of people feel the 'atmosphere' has been somewhat lost, due to MN becoming so big and so many people name changing for dubious reasons.

So how about a new topic where name changing is not allowed?

So to post in that section, you choose a different name (much like in Mumsnet local). But you have to stick to that name only.

That way, in that section at least, there would be less arses/goady fuckers/Billy bullshitters and drama llamas, hiding behind name changes.

People will become 'regulars' again (in that section at least) and when you go there to chat, you'll at least 'recognise' other people.

OK I'm sure there are 1 million reasons why this is a stupid idea/impossible to set up, but can anyone think of them?

Well yes, Zed, which is why I said that my circle (friends and family) user emojis in messages but not status updates etc.

I maintain there's a time and place for a poo emoji ...

🎅🎄

Oh no. The Christmas ones are even worse.

Yy

One of my friends uses emojis in her calendar/diary on her phone. So if she has a manicure booked, she doesn't type "maincure" she puts in the little manicure emoji. And so on. I thought that was kind of neat

I don't think they do emojis for some of the bonkers crapola I have to do on a weekly basis.

Have 🍸Sparkers

I will put that in all 31 days of January Still.

Feck, I never bloody win at cluedo, I can never figure out which bugger did it and I have been hammered by 10 year old ds......... again what's a bloody emoji for that???

🔧🔪☠⚰😢 Christina?

Ohhhh, good work Rusty

Hmm. Emoji for "stand in wet field watching 7 yo play non competitive football match" ... ⛄

Rusty I can see a spanner and a knife. Then after that a little tiny squiggle, a teeny black square then an emoji looking worried with tears. Why is that? I can see 3/5.

Wtf is non competitive football? It has goals, somebody wins (or a draw).

👀🏉🏆❌🏅❌💦🌧☔️

IIRC it's Under 8s football. No scores are recorded, no league tables. After that it seems like it is taken as seriously as the Premiership.

These emojies certainly have potential for confusion don't they? This thread has become very amusing

The other two are a death's head and coffin, Sparkling...

Rusty that's-

Pair of eyes
Rugby ball?
Cup
Red Cross
Tiny white square
Red Cross
Water droplets
Tiny white square
Umbrella with rain?

Why can't I see the death's head or coffin but I can see the rest?

or perhaps that should be 😂

Sorry, just realised it's football not rugby...

👀⚽️🏆❌🏅❌🌧💦☔️
