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

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? Grin

I got no chocolate for Christmas so I hate you all.

Christinayangstwistedsista · 01/01/2016 18:53

Why do we do this to ourselves? I need to squeeze myself into work clothes next week!

Obv answer, Christina...........

DON'T PLANK!

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 01/01/2016 20:21

Arf @ Christina, me too!

Fiderer · 01/01/2016 20:21

Planking is obv something woodworky. Look at how well sandpapered that table is.

Agree about no-name-changing topic, not just threads. Others have explained it well & am in heavy cold land.

magimedi · 01/01/2016 22:11

Sympathy, FId - am just out the other side of the bastard heavy cold.

It's quite nice being all anonnymouse. I could invent a whole new personality.

magimedi · 01/01/2016 22:40

But isn't it more fun to have a personality change with your own name? Grin

BIWI · 01/01/2016 22:45

Ooh ooh ooh - if we're talking planking I can dust off my smug boast and tell you that my record is 6 minutes Grin

I've been reading this with much interest, and whilst it seems that some don't want to share much on MN, it's a bit unfair to say that no one else should have that facility - especially as I know very well that there are are other places on the internet that people DO share a lot.

I think Maryz has it spot on - a place where people can't NC, but also insist that people post in the right place all the time. Like that's going to happen though!

A place where each must be honest.

Greatly to be desired this is.

Hi Babes!

I've just put my motorcycle back in the garage from a hard day's work as a stuntman. Fed my pet snake, to my pet alligator. I'm just heading off into the East wing to use the underwater bowling alley before a busy night of being romantic with ladies somehow.

I am a really interesting person. I can strangle zebras and my right foot is currently on fire. That's the kind of crazy life I have. Play your cards right MarryZ and there might be an opening for deputy third girlfriend (Wed-Fri).

Stay hot Mumsnet chicks, My balloon's ready and needs my gas right away.
