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?

and the minor issue that one or more PBPs have already slipped under the net for x many months

You were very clever maryz

Post below of genius:

*They should delete AIBU and reformat the topics so there is a section containing four topics: Petty Gripes; I Want A Rant; I Don't Give a Flying Fuck if I'm Being Unreasonable, I just Want You All To Agree With Me; and What Would You Do (I Genuinely Want Opinions).

And then Chat could go back to being just Chat, for friendly chatting.

The acronym YABU should be banned. Anyone using it should get an immediate 30 minute time out.

The sex topic can stay but only if mnhq are willing to move over-sharing threads into it*

Mind you, if PBPs act like arses they'll attract attention to themselves anyway, probably leading to another ban.

So without asking for the moon, I think a regulars topic section with no name changing that you had to be member of the site for a while with maryz brilliant four sections in, would just about cover it . Cheers!

V true, Worra! This is a foolproof plan.

I think my name will be...

"I think a regulars topic section with no name changing that you had to be member of the site for a while with maryz brilliant four sections in, would just about cover it "

But you have to pass an exam on cress, H20cress, rocket & maybe parsley & chervil before being allowed in.

Did that last post make any sense? [Mithers]

Not sure I like this?

Pretty please MNHQ

I would be happy to go for that exam , I'm confident

Ooo exit that does look a bit funny. Perhaps just coz its new?

I've never heard of chervil. I'll fail the exam.

But I quite like HeelsHighSocksOdd. That works.

I think there probably needs to be a kind of citizenship test.

Did reading the penis beaker thread make you spit wine on your keyboard?
Do you need it explained to you when a post is 'lighthearted'?
Do you think it's appropriate to smear excrement on the cars of others?

If you answer yes to any of the above, you need to head back to AIBU.

Yes please and thank you.

I could pass that test Quiero lets do that one.

Odd, I've only heard of chervil - never eaten it!

(Rushes off to Wiki to mug up....)

Sure it's not you?

Hq, if you are counting votes, I'd say yes please to this.

I might even dust off my old (royal) name.

Someone has Exit.

Which gives me the rage from time to time.
