Posters hiding the sex board won't change MN dynamics.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

This new policy of 'if you don't like it, don't look' doesn't seem to be about making Mumsnet a safer place more welcoming and inclusive place, it seems to be more about 'look the other way if you are offended'.

One issue with this is that once threads get into active, people then post in the wrong place. Explicit threads won't stay on the Sex board, they will migrate onto chat and AIBU and anywhere that gets more views. We see this all the time with various topics.

Changing the policy so that you only need to have been a member for 7 days before posting on creates another issue of course. It is much much easier for sex trolls to join and start harassing people and messaging them off board. I guess that might help revenue if you are getting streams of re-registering sex trolls coming in.

MN used to take safeguarding seriously.

I also think this actually will exclude people from getting support. You now either have to choose to hide the board and therefore if you have a question or an issue about sex, you can't ask in the right place. Or you have to enable it and see every conversation.

Imagine if you are a Mum with young kids, sex has gone down the pan and you want some advice. You might not want your partner to see it. Your choice is: hide the topic and don't get that help you'd like. Or enable it and risk your kids or your partner seeing the threads on your screen.

This is a separate conversation to the very valuable safeguarding conversation about the sex chat threads.

I’ve quoted what you wrote and I’ve added underneath that discussing that is creepy. Creepy is subjective and if MN take is as a personal attack, fine. There have been some odd deletions lately.

The poster asked ‘how big is too big?’ … it’s not something I’d ask and it’s not something I particularly care to think about but whatever.

Did they say ‘men of MN, tell me about yours?’

Did I say feel free to copy and paste wherever you like?

@Surplus2requirements , anyone can do an advanced search. You were disputing that you had discussed the size of your penis with women here. It is not against the TGs to quote words you wrote yourself - obviously misquoting you or if I suspected you were another poster and attributed their words to you then that’s different - but I’m literally just repeating what you put.

Either it’s fine and acceptable to do that or it’s not. It really is that simple. If it’s not acceptable here, maybe it’s not acceptable at all.

I'm not ashamed of anything I've posted on MN anywhere.

Maybe you're right, it's better you've copied the whole post than continually alluding to it as creepy and making out I'm some sort of pervert preying on women.

C&P from other threads in an attempt to humiliate posters doesn't seem good form imo. The subject being discussed was appropriate to that board. If you have issue take it up with the poster on the board or report if it breaks TGs.
To tell someone off like this on a site stuff thread is an odd thing to do.

Constant bullying and belittling. It's really shit.

There's certainly something toxic happening here

You are always telling everyone off.

The poster (who I'm sure can fight their own battles) has been reasonable and polite throughout. You however are hectoring and seeming to try and silence them. It's not a good look.

I'm actually shocked that the bullying of one poster on this thread is being allowed to stand.

Well, so far anyway.

Quite. And yet...

They are c&p from a thread on another board in an attempt to mock.
My telling offs are related to what's posted on the thread and board I'm on thanks .

Sparkling would you like a signed photo you seem to quote everything I say 😙

How about responding to my actual point. Do you think it's ok to c&p from a thread on another board in an attempt to mock?

I don't know where we'd be without your daily telling offs.

Just report what you don't think is on. Or the poster can do it himself, I am sure he doesn't need the ladies to do it for him.

Yes please I would love one. 😊

Oh, I’d love photos of so many mumsnetters, especially the ‘ladies’ on the sex topic. 😂

Not attempting to mock at all.

Poster disputed he had discussed his penis size with women. Post showed he had

Believe me, I don’t find anything funny about it.

When I do that's wrong as well

Good idea.

There's no need to post anything on the threads and fuel the fire further, if you feel aggrieved then you can email MNHQ direct and talk to them about it.

Perhaps if I had a penis, I'd understand why it was important to seek out parenting sites aimed primarily at women with young children to talk about it.

This is actually really fucking tedious. You can’t take a comment from a Sex Thread out of context like that, it’s ridiculous.

of course you can if it’s relevant

Not you again, calling for people to be banned, surely?
