Vibrator thread - why is that not in the sex topic?

58 replies

BIWI · 26/01/2022 21:27

I'm sure it was moved before. Why is it back in Active Convos? What's the point of having dedicated topics if even MNHQ don't use them?!

(Yes, I know - clicks = money)

Active covers all topics. You'd need to hide the topic if you don't want to see anything from there.

BIWI · 26/01/2022 21:50

As far as I know, the sex topic doesn't appear in Active

OP posts:
BIWI · 26/01/2022 21:53

And actually, it isn't the sex topic - it's in 'Content' which is stuff promoted by MNHQ. Which is why, obviously, they want it in Active Convos.

Why do you care?

BIWI · 26/01/2022 21:59

Stupid question.

@Whitegrenache

Why do you care?
Gosh that is so rude!

BIWI can ask, it is a valid point imo.

Hawkins001 · 26/01/2022 22:00

Do u have a link so I can be outraged too.

Found it, now off to express the horror, I may be a while, while I study the details of what I'm ment to be mortified about.

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 26/01/2022 22:16

Thanks! I've been looking for recommendations!

BIWI · 26/01/2022 22:25

If you were all that keen, or wanted to find somewhere to be mortified, then why didn't you go and read the sex topic anyway?!

I feel outraged that I should say don't try the magic wands, I have heard they are very effect, the plug in ones.

Please, no more incorrect use of "mortified"

Me too! Active is how I find threads.

Fair point,

Hawkins001 · 26/01/2022 23:06

I use the active threads rather than categories, due to mainly most threads usually lasting around a week before they fizzle, yes some do go longer but unless it's active then otherwise it's a mix as to weather the op still updates the thread.

Hawkins001 · 26/01/2022 23:06

Thanks *@Hawkins001* Grin
Your welcome

Because I only usually read the active thread list due to threads usually zzzzz after a week.
GirlInACountrySong · 26/01/2022 23:30

don't you have to be on MN some time before you have access to the sex topic?

or did i imagine that....sort of a way to deter trolls

Morning, BIWI and others,

Sorry it's taken a while to get back to you. We wanted to check the exact reasoning for this with our sales and content teams before we posted.

It is as we expected: the best sex toys page has been bought for sponsorship by Ann Summers, so that's why it was pinned in Active (and why it appeared again here after not being pinned there for a while) - it's part of the promotion that the Content team do for sponsored pages.

Hope that explains things a bit further for you. Apologies again for the delay in response. Flowers

BIWI · 03/02/2022 20:16

FFS @HebeMumsnet - now there's another vibrator topic in Active!

I do realise/understand that it's all about the money, but really? Do we have to have the sex ones in active convos? Can you not put them in the sex topic where all they belong?

Can your clients not pay to go in the sex topic where their target market is already waiting and gasping for them?
