Official Complaint to Mumsnet

7 replies

Totally inappropriate enormous vibrator adverts now ALL over Mumnset.

What on earth are you thinking of? Is Mumsnet really that short of cash that they have to stoop this low?

Not to mention the ridiculous woke language ie "people with wombs".

Totally inappropriate on ALL levels.

Hi OP

Thank you for the feedback - we'll chat about it now.

Hi everyone - thanks for your comments. We appreciate the strength of feeling. Clearly, some of the wording used is unpopular with many of you. We’re going to discuss all the points raised with Smile Makers and will get back to you asap. Please do continue to share your thoughts - we are listening.

Back on active After we changed the wording....

I'd still like to know why sex was added to active without any announcement yesterday @YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet and whether MN will be addressing concerns about that.

We periodically review boards that are excluded from Active - the Sex topic was initially excluded because of concerns it would attract trolls, though it's possible they would rock up regardless. We're monitoring the situation and reading the comments on the other thread too.

@monsteramunch we've passed all feedback on to the company.
Thanks, @YesitsBess (you could say ovaries instead of balls I guess! Or vagina - which, all told are much tougher than balls.) All comments are noted and we're having a discussion about this at MNHQ. We know it can seem that we're not listening on fast moving threads like this but we do read every single post and appreciate the input, even if we can't acknowledge everyone.
@LetTheLiquorTalk I'm not aware of this but I will investigate. It definitely wasn't excluded when I checked earlier. Definitely not gaslighting anyone!

Hi @monsteramunch we flagged this specifically to Smile Makers along with all the other feedback and they changed the post. It was a mistake on their part and ours for not spotting it quickly enough. Thanks for raising.
