Would it be an idea to have a like/dislike button on posts? It would save SO much hot air and posting and reposting from people.

Also, is it possible please to link to other posters when you post? As an "@" button?

No. I like mumsnet talk, it reminds me of the old days on Usenet newsgroups.

RustyBear · 12/04/2016 11:51

At the time Emmaneuelle posted it was 21 No v 5 Yes (and that's assuming nauticant was being serious) Wouldn't really call that 'very mixed'

The only group where it's a close vote is the alpacas, with one on each side...

Great post, guerre Grin

I like bitchplopping. I think I'm doing it right now.
You put ideas in my head Maryz Grin

Sparklingbrook · 12/04/2016 13:21

The bitchplopper list on my spreadsheet is v long.

FruStefanOla · 12/04/2016 13:46

Oh no. I hope I'm not on anyone's bitchplopping spreadsheets Blush

I don't bitchplop, but I might swoop in but then have to disappear for a while to do RL things which intervene.

SavoyCabbage · 12/04/2016 14:35

Nay.

I think it's a terrible idea.

Hi all - just to clarify, this aint gonna happen Grin

Thank you for the suggestion OP - we have been through this a few times now, and it always quite strongly leans towards no. We do like discussion over here on MN and items like a "like" button do tend to discourage discussion in the place of a quick "like".

Many thanks for posting everyone.

cozietoesie · 12/04/2016 15:39

Good.

BertieBotts · 12/04/2016 15:44

Yay! Thanks for clarifying :)

ILeaveTheRoomForTwoMinutes · 12/04/2016 15:46

Thanks Becca

Gosh, Sparkling. Do I infer that you would turn down the chance to have a snazzy, sparkling pink ticker? Grin

MrsVamos · 12/04/2016 19:54

BeccaMumsnet

Yay !

Thank goodness. No sheepies here. Phew.

MrsTerryPratchett · 12/04/2016 20:00

Thanks fuck for that. Cheers MN. Drinks some of Sparkling's champagne. 'Like's Sparkling's post. NOT.

Sparklingbrook · 12/04/2016 20:03

My name may be Sparkling but I am not a fan of the glittery in general cozie. Grin

MrsVamos · 12/04/2016 20:05

Maybe its time for a clear message, a single post closed thread from HQ in SS stating :

MUMSNET IS NOT FACEBOOK AND WE WILL NEVER HAVE A 'LIKE' BUTTON. IF YOU CBA TO TYPE A RESPONSE AND 'CHAT' YOU MIGHT LIKE TO CONSIDER THAT MN MAY NOT BE THE FORUM FOR YOU.

Works for me. Grin

MrsVamos · 12/04/2016 20:08

Sparks Hmmm. Whenever I see your name I always visualise the water of a brook on a gorgeous day, all clear and sparkly.

Pretty sparkly not garish sparkly.

Well, I either think of that, or glitter. Wink
