Harry and Meghan threads

[takealettermsjones]

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

It's disgraceful, and I agree it's putting me off coming on the site

It'll die down really soon, well at least until his wretched book comes out 😒

Or programme a klaxon with someone screaming Wrong Topic every time someone starts a thread in the wrong place.

As usual, waste of time complaining:

*Thanks for flagging this - as this is such a big topic in the news right now, we think that this thread is okay where it is but we'll keep an eye on things and move it if we feel that it would be better suited elsewhere.

Don't forget that you can hide threads if you'd rather not have to see them.*

They don't seem to move threads anymore. Makes a nonsense of having the specific locations. Just have a huge forum

Yes please. Get rid of them. They are utter bile and a total nuisance.

Does anyone remember how everyone used to bump all the other threads so that the dross got lost at the bottom?

Used to be when the spammers were out in force and no night watch.

Needs more than one person to do it though...

I’ve just been reporting them all. Every single sodding one.

I doubt it will make a difference. Unless people stop posting en masse. Bet you get the same reply that I did (above), it's a standard one.

Ah, feeling nostalgic.

Yes please! Driving me crazy. People have lost all perspective

This thread is being ignored by MN...wonder who is actually posting all those threads - any thoughts MN?

Please move all the threads, Mumsnet. It's ridiculous and not getting better. Harry's book will no doubt lead to another massive surge.

@GeneratedRandomly I last had a response at 9:52, which was we’ll have a look from Liv.

Oh God yes. Awful racist bilge.

Awww look at his little face. <channels Tess Daly>

It’s not that interesting - the sample size was small!

The "interesting discussion" twaddle note seems to be code for many many people posting disgustingly offensive posts about any subject at all. Want to be racist? It's an interesting discussion. Disabilist? It's educational. Bash benefits claimants? It's a topic that's informative. Tell another poster they are an idiot and you are banned! I suspect the site owners like the toxicity because it pulls in the numbers and the stats, supports their marketing. Welcome to capitalism at its best. You can sell anything including vitriol and abuse.

No doubt you will get the same standard reply as posted previously. It's beyond a joke now.

I reported some and got exactly the same response.

I’m suspicious that there are bots at work.

Hi everyone. We'll move any threads we think are better suited to the RF topic but please also remember you can hide individual threads.

We do expect, as with any big news story, that there will be lots of threads about H&M across the boards. In our experience this usually dies down alongside media coverage. Though to be honest we are bracing ourselves for the book release in January!

Except these never die down, do they?

But they are all better suited to the RF topic, because they are all about the RF. That's what the RF topic is for.

We know that there will be lots of threads started across the boards, but there's no need for them to stay there.

Thanks @ProtectorExtraordinaryOfTheCantonsOfNim in general we try not to be overly prescriptive about what goes where but we acknowledgde that some people are sick of seeing so many threads about this.
