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

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)

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

Interestingly you're right about the Sex topic being excluded from Active - I've just checked - but I have to say that was news to me. Mumsnet has always been a site for adults not children, and there's certainly no watershed, so if you'd asked me I'd have said it was in Active and I don't really see why it shouldn't be given that you can hide whole topics if you don't like it in your preferences? We have a rule about not posting on the sex topic until you've been a member for 90 to deter trolls.

@AnyFucker

This is a parenting website. It’s not appropriate to have this content in such a prominent position.

Ads for sex toys are on telly after the watershed for a reason.

If there was a watershed then you'd be barred from posting till 9pm Anyfucker Grin

Hello everyone. We've changed the title of the thread to something a bit calmer: '11 best sex toys for Valentine's Day from Ann Summers'.
