I want to make some extra cash

[Expemsiveuniform]

So what I'm going to do is post how skint I am and how we are eating cold beans in the dark but it's not a begging thread.

And sit back and watch the money roll in.

You talked after hewhoshallnotbenamed of beefing up your warning.

Where did you get to with that as it seems to have fallen by the wayside?

Who's looking for money?

It's gone now.

thismisnt about nine thread though. It's about the warning that was supposed to get beefed up and doesn't appear to have been.

I can't type on this screen

Just give me a second OP and I will PM you hun xxx

Why does it need 'beefing up', ffs? Either people are adults in which case they will decide for themselves if/what they want to give - or they are stupid, in which case no amount of warnings will help.

Why are you going on and on about it? You did enough of that on the thread yesterday.

You can't save people from themselves, however many warnings go out there will always be the gullible.

I would probably be described as a bit guilible but reading previous thread I did offer to send some charity shop clothes to the OP. If you wrote an honest account that you were struggling financially and needed new leggings for your daughter (I think that's what you said) I would happily look through my cupboards and see if I had a pair. I happen to be able to give something simple like that away. I remember what it's like to exist on cornflakes for 3 days until payday, if I can help in a little way I would offer.

Janus, that doesn't make you gullible. You don't know ANYBODY here (presumably, unless you know them in RL) and if you want to send something that you no longer have use for then it's not up to anybody else to deride you for it.

There are altogether too many posters who do nothing for anybody which is up to them, but feel they have the right to police what other people do.

My take on it is that I presume nobody here is somebody I would trust but, if I have something I don't want or need anymore - and they do - they're welcome to it.

I have no idea who or what a 'genuine poster' is, I keep hearing about them though, from other posters whom I have no idea who or what they are.

You can't 'police' what other people do in RL. It's really up to them.

I think there is value in reminding people that mumsnet is now a sprawling metropolis as opposed to the small village it once was.

As a result we attract chancers and con artists and everything in between.

People are human and it's hard not to be moved by the alleged circumstances of some, but ultimately everyone her is an adult and responsible for their own safety.

Lying. I'm asking if hq have looked further at something they committed to look at. After hewhoshallnotbenamed got £££ off mumsnetters.

Yes I remember. Almost a coven and wasn't it a 'regular' posted that vouched for him, causing a furore of posters name-calling any that didn't fall in to the line of devotion?

It is a fact that nobody knows anybody here, genuine or not, nobody knows them. MNHQ puts a disclaimer in but I'm loathe to be treated like a child or a sub-intelligent adult when I'm neither.

Not interested in debating that element. Lying. He must not be named and I'm not for going there

Just want to know if mumsnet are going to do what they said they would look at or if they've decided not to bother

I'm not interested in debating any of it. Just wondering why you've posted a thread about the one yesterday. MNHQ took it off line, why not ask them?

That's what this thread is for. That's why it's in site stuff an asks the question.

Bumping because it's still going in and there hasn't been a comment from the mods.

Hi there OP. Sorry for the delay in response.

We have indeed 'beefed up' the message we post on threads where people seem to be asking for money just to make it a bit clearer that we are never able to vouch for anyone on the internet, so we always have and always will advise our users not to give any more emotionally or financially than they can afford to lose. If we have doubts about any poster we'll continue to take those threads down, obviously.

It is all common sense stuff really, but we agree it's important to remind folk now and then.

If you've not spotted the new message yet, we're sure you will in due course.

Thanks Iona. I did see it the other day (yesterday I think) I was just looking to raise it again (when I hadn't heard anything and this thread hadn't been responded to I didn't want to start another thread)

Thanks again
