Why is MNHQ bumping up old threads by telling people to look at best of lists? Why not do it while the thread is current if you must do it?

Hi OP

Do you mean the suggested threads box - or something different? Can you show us an example?

This type of thing @LilyMumsnet Desperately need help finding a dressing gown http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/styleandd_beauty/4661399-desperately-need-help-finding-a-dressing-gown
The thread is from 23rd October

Hi OP

We don't think October is unreasonable - it's a fairly recent thread! We can absolutely have a chat about this, though.

I thought someone had been trolling S&B, there were so many bumped threads about dressing gowns!

JaneJeffer · 17/11/2022 18:05

Ok @LilyMumsnet
I find it annoying but whatever Grin

Adding my voice to this. It is MN themselves who are bumping old threads to spam them with some MN article about dressing gowns. I haven't read it, but I guess it contains affiliate links, right? Every bloody old thread about dressing gowns IRRESPECTIVE of their actual query or content has been bumped. The poster doing this is @LouiseGMumsnet

So now we don't only have to put up with 'you might also like' causing inadvertent zombie resurrections, MN are actively waking the dead as well? So we now have to navigate the S&B board with a pitchfork and cricket bat?

Or is the plan to put all the dead threads into a nice little MN article carefully collated by the intern with the Social Media Studies degree, and stick that at the end of threads instead?

Hi @LilyMumsnet is LouiseGMumsnet a real moderator - they were very busy yesterday bumping threads in lots of sections not just S&B [plus also on 14/11/22]?

Or are they another troll?

Hi @HelensToenail - just wanted to confirm that LouiseGMumsnet's a member of the team, so there's no need for alarm. We've taken all of your views on board, though.

Agree that is very annoying to resurrect threads by spamming them with links to the sponsored articles.
