Why is Sex topic now in Active?

[clarrylove]

It never used to be there before. It doesn't really seem appropriate with some of the titles.

It isn't thrust upon you though as I keep saying. It is on a separate board that you click on. Just stop clicking on it would be my advice. If you mean it is the active listing <sighs> thenn hide it, or again do not click on it. What is it with some people using the internet.

What is it with some people totally missing the whole point?

oops, again.

We all agreed with the comment though.

Are you being deliberately obtuse?
It's not me going to the sex board and complaining I'm seeing sexual content... It me saying I don't want that content pushed to me, for me to have to block it at least twice...

Again, if I sent you sexual content to YOUR Pm, and you blocked me because you didn't want to see it...it means it wasn't appropriate to send it.

And then I managed to send you sexual content again, (because say, I signed up on another account and sent it again),... according to you, that's still Ok, because you can just block me.

It's not okay....

Sorry @kittensinthekitchen that was my fault for asking you

Not at all - my fault for making a comment about a comment

Shhhh, Lily is watching 🙀

But she's not answering any questions!

Nope, I wonder if she means to be so rude {head tilt}

Quoting this to bring it to the current page - what’s changed, MNHQ?

There's an update from Justine on the other thread - I think they've read (or are in the process of) reading the room, and have now got sex off active again.

References to underage sex on Sex board www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/4749810-references-to-underage-sex-on-sex-board

Something very interesting spotted by someone on Reddit

A new poster - only posted a handful of times, twice in the Sex topic - started a thread in Sex asking for shower head recommendations. Then posted to say they'd found one. But weirdly the link they posted is a Mumsnet affiliate link.

So is MN now starting threads in Sex? And pretending to be a poster? And posting affiliate links without making it clear that they'll make money from any purchase that someone makes after clicking on that link for the next 24 hours?!

Yes but the assertion they’ve been a bit naive is tedious. They are a long established company - it’s not 2003 and MN isn’t being run from a kitchen table. Time to think through their decisions properly and think through the consequences including safeguarding responsibilities.

Sorry but I think you're stepping into tin foil hat territory

It's a Mumsnet affiliate link @Surplus2requirements. Can you explain why a poster is posting them?

Sorry but I think you're stepping into tin foil hat territory

Why are you sorry? How patronising.

For people who don't understand what Amazon affiliate links look like or how they work:

Here’s the standard structure of an Amazon product link: www.amazon.com/dp/B00Q70RCW6/
Whereas:
• dp – detail product
• B00Q70RCW6 – product ID/ASIN number
Here’s an Amazon affiliate link for the same product: www.amazon.com/dp/B00Q70RCW6?tag=xxxxxxx-20
The structure is the same but with the addition of “?tag=xxxxxxx-20” at the end. The “xxxxxxx-20” after the “=” sign is your affiliate ID.
The Amazon Affiliate cookie lasts for 24 hours after a website visitor clicks on the affiliate link. The cookie stays in their browser for that entire length of time. That way, if they check out at any time in those 24 hours, the purchase will be credited to you.

Not an expert but isn't that how the Internet works?
Ask a question about a product and any search will be guided by algorithms to bias the search results.

Far more likely than MNHQ releasing sleeper agents to con their own members

That’s very interesting. 🤔 I wouldn’t rule out anything at this point TBH.

'Far more likely than MNHQ releasing sleeper agents to con their own members'

As I said, that's an affiliate link. Even if it's nothing to do with MN, you legally have to declare them.

As you said though @Surplus2requirements, you don't understand how the internet works.



@Surplus2requirements you're wrong. Hth.

Is there a prize for which poster can be most acerbic towards @Surplus2requirements ?

That's not fair.

I just had to drag my knuckles over to Google to look up acerbic 😑
