Hi MNHQ,

Since you're so interested in improving the site lately, like for instance; asking people to pay for something that's free. Perhaps you'd be interested to know that there's something that's ruining the site for many users.

The daily mail are taking more and more threads and publishing them. You must be aware of how posters feel about this, you're constantly having to delete people's comments etc after the thread is stolen. So why aren't you doing anything about it?

Yes you've probably covered it in your small print, but you know fully well that it's now stopping people posting for advice. Perhaps people might pay your silly subscription fee if you solved the real problems, instead of giving out stupid emojis.

Perhaps a topic that's not allowed to be stolen from?

Hello everyone, thanks for your comments - as a few posters have already noted, this issue is something which crops up pretty frequently but we’re always happy to clarify our position.

There’s not a huge amount we can do about it as other outlets would likely claim Fair Use, which is difficult to dispute. In their view, they're just 'reporting' what was said on the thread. Being an open site has a lot of advantages, but this kind of thing is a consequence of that, we're afraid. On the upside, the openness of Mumsnet brings the wisdom of a sizeable crowd, and a huge variety of opinions.

We always like to remind our users that this is a public forum, searchable by Google, legally linkable to - and quotable by - anyone. For this reason our users can be as anonymous as they want to be, (and you can always make use of our name change facility) and we always advise people to be circumspect with what they share online.

If your thread has been lifted by another source, and you’re unhappy about it, get in touch with us and we’ll do what we can to help.
