@MNHQ please could you move these into the Royal Family board? They're all over AIBU.

Seconded.

TinFoilHatty · 16/12/2022 12:11

Yes please <proffers broom for threadsweeping>

Thank you.

Wakk · 16/12/2022 12:48

Yes it's putting me off coming here

butterfliedtwo · 16/12/2022 12:50

As above. I've begun hiding them all.

BIWI · 16/12/2022 12:52

Hear hear x 1 million

I've hidden The Royal Family topic but it's a bit like whack-a-mole right now

Lost123454 · 16/12/2022 12:52

I just "hide" them

Newwardrobe · 16/12/2022 12:55

Is it true that some of these threads are started by bots ?

ADHDeee · 16/12/2022 13:10

Please. I've hidden the entire RF board as it's full of absolutely toxic awful people, now they're spilling out everywhere it's hard to avoid the absolute BILE these 'people' are spouting.

I would not be surprised! Either sort it or MN might as well change their name before it’s done for them . Seriously it’s not good for one’s mental health.

I just came here to ask about this. I have reported one as a trial, asking if it could be moved but ignored.

They are also clogging up Chat as well as AIBU.

I am hiding them as fast as they appear and also hidden the RF topic. I have no interest in the subject and am absolutely sick of them. I have left MN in the past because of a similar issue which was eventually dealt with, and combined with the pages not loading/freezing issue I am thinking about calling it a day again. -

Plus that bloody annoying pop up that I get when I'm not logged, telling me to join. I am getting seriously pissed off with this site.

I am concerned that there will be a limit to how many threads I can hide which is why I came here to ask because at this rate it will be nothing but M&H on here. It's even overtaking the endless Christmas threads.

Its mainly pro Kate and Wills threads, which is making me thinks its some of the 87 people that the watchdog highlighted in the doc.

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 16/12/2022 13:51

Yes please can you create some kind of secure holding pen for these completely unhinged meghan haters? You can call it 'crazed meghan hatred echo chamber' if you like.

With every new thread, it's further proving that they did the right thing in leaving.

Perfectly put.

ProtectorExtraordinaryOfTheCantonsOfNim · 16/12/2022 14:16

I've hidden the Royal Family board but it hasn't worked and I have to hide each thread individually. So the rest of you can feel a small part of my pain (I've hidden AIBU as well, and that one has taken, so it sounds as though I may actually be better off at the moment).

Yes!
I've never agreed with users' requests to move threads around but the astroturfers and racists all over the place is dreadful.
They don't even bother to see if there's already 3,874 threads also spewing racist bile, they just add another to the cesspit.

Now that's interesting.

Can you trace IP addresses MNHQ?

Pieministers · 16/12/2022 14:34

Oh god, please move them. The relentless obsessive dissection of H&M on here is beyond tedious and at least if they’re all in the correct topic, those of us who don’t care can hide it.

GeneratedRandomly · 16/12/2022 16:23

I think I will report them for being in the wrong place. Every sodding one of them. Just hidden another one in AIBU. Bastard things.

PAFMO · 16/12/2022 16:34

We could start massively derailing them like people were wont to do in ye olden days.
Post pics of kittens, or Terry Wogan's credentials, or a bat or sth on each rabid thread. Or start a completely unconnected conversation so all the nutters think it's them gone mad.
I'm sure HQ would secretly thank us.

I’m going to do this as well.

This. New threads about them are popping up all the time. Enough.

Port1aCastis · 16/12/2022 16:54

Yes please move all those threads to the Royal Family topic so I can hide them, I'm getting, sick of bile and bots clogging up active.

Strokethefurrywall · 16/12/2022 17:00

Another plead from me. I'm sick of scrolling past them, all banging on about the same shite.

Oh, I remember those days. Good idea. Last time I started reporting something like this the response was that it created interesting discussion or some sort of twaddle. Eventually the threads started to appear in the right topic so I assume it wasn't just me that had stopped bothering with the site.

Maybe the posters that keep going on about it are Premium users and exempt from posting in the right topic.
