Hi mnhq I wonder if you could tell me what your view is on @‘ing people if you’ve been asked not to?

I have had it happen on a thread and it’s made me feel really quite annoyed. I asked the person to stop and not do it and they responded with a “you can’t tell people what to do”

I can appreciate that POV, but it seems contradictory to me given the rules around being polite and esoecially given the rules in FWR that have recently been implemented.

Could you please confirm what the official MNHQ stance is on this? Ie on continuing to @ someone after they have asked you yo stop?

Thanks

(I have disabled the emails but that doesn’t stop the person continuing to @ me which I really dislike. I can’t explain why I don’t like being @‘ed I just don’t. It feels aggressive and hectoring and bullying. I don’t expect anyone else feels the same but I do. )

Hi there BlackoutBlinds,

Thanks for getting in touch.

As other posters have mentioned, we won't be changing the feature anytime soon - it's very popular amongst Mumsnetters and is a useful tool for discussion. We know you've done so already, but there's the option to turn off emails for mentions, which you can find in your talk preferences.

As usual, if you're worried about anything on the site, or see anything which you think is goady or breaks talk guidelines, let us know and MNHQ will be happy to take a look.
