I know we have Sporner corner but...

[TheChippendenSpook]

Please can we have a topic that I can hide, where people can ask all about poo (maybe call that one BumsNet) and blood and all other manner of bodily fluids and afflictions.

I'm getting queasy as I get older and some of the thread titles make me feel sick. 🤢

Hi there @TheChippendenSpook .

Firstly, well done. We can't believe no one has thought of 'Bumsnet' before and it has cheered our Monday morning no end!

We would usually expect people to make it clear in a thread title if the contents of a thread is not 'breakfast friendly' so do report threads that don't do that and we can always edit a title to make that clear. We also ask people to mark photos as sensitive so they don't appear full screen on your phone as you're scrolling. We do see your point though and it's definitely worth some thought. As always, we'd want to hear from others, too, in order to know that a board like this would be well used, as well as able to be hidden, so we'll keep reading here.

If anyone else thinks this would be a good idea or, more to the point, if anyone would actively use a 'bodily fluids' type thread themselves, do let us know here.

BUMSNET is genius.

Fair made my morning!

[TheChippendenSpook]

Haha! thank you 😊 I'd say there's plenty more where that came from but I'd be lying!

I'll definitely be reporting in future but I do hope people see this and agree with me that a separate topic would be useful 🙃

[TheChippendenSpook]

I think I'm having a one woman campaign on this matter 🪧

[ADoggyDogWorld]

Late night bump.

[TheChippendenSpook]

@ADoggyDogWorld

Late night bump.

Aww thank you 😊

[SushiMayo]

I would worry that putting all bum related photos in one section would attract unsavoury types as it will make it easier to find the bum pictures. But I suppose if people are that way they will find them anyway and it's a risk you take putting them on the Internet.

So I support this motion. For bums, blood and various discharges perhaps.

[Priminister]

Yes from me. I’m not normally in favour of creating yet another topic which threads won’t be moved into from AIBU/chat but I’m sick of seeing threads with photos of people’s genitals, poo and blood clots.

[TheChippendenSpook]

Thank you 😊 I've got an aversion to the word discharge and don't want to know if people want others to look at their poo to check if they have blood, worms, or any other unsavoury (or sweet depending on what they've eaten) item in it.

This way, we could hide the whole topic.

[TheChippendenSpook]

I am shamelessly bumping my own thread. Partly because sine replies on another thread have made me think that others would like a separate topic too 🙃

[DigitalDust]

I’d support this - would also like to be able to hide such a topic

[TheChippendenSpook]

Thank you DigitalDust 😊

I don't know what makes people feel desperate enough to post about such matters and I don't want to know about them.

[tobee]

Yes I agree! There's been a plethora of this kind of thing recently; gross photos of fluids etc - god knows why! There should be a minimum gigantic klaxon warning but how to enforce that?

Also, sometimes you think I could help but I can't face looking

[Itscatsallthewaydown]

Agreed. I’m not interested in seeing anyone’s bum grapes thank you very much.

[alexdgr8]

definitely, i dislike such things, even the mention of them, very much.
so hive them off somewhere, and please MN, make it easy for old fogeys like me to be able to hide the whole lot.
thank you .

Exactly. It's not enough to put a warning on a photo as even the title goes too much info away.

[DigitalDust]

Just bumping this.

If we can’t have a separate topic, can we please at least have the ability to hide threads without clicking on them? It’s possible to do that from Active but not from individual boards, as far as I can see.

[Shiningout]

Bumsnet 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[MorrisZapp]

Please do this. The titles alone make me ill.

[EmmaEmerald]

Agree

could be hidden from active as well so the people who want to seek out this stuff can do so.

some of the titles.

jfc

thanks OP. I thought it was just me.

I use the mobile page and can hide them without clicking on them thankfully.

Thank you too 😊 some of the titles are just grim and conjure up images you don't want to imagine.

There was one this morning where the op was probably really worried but no, I don't want to see a photo thank you. If it was in a separate topic, I wouldn't have to think about it as it would be well and truly hidden for me.

[TheChippendenSpook]

I've just clicked an another one but this had an innocuous title but was about blood. Please @mnhq can we have a separate topic now???

[SamBeckett]

Giving this a bump ( sorry couldnt resist )
I agree @TheChippendenSpook there is a time and place for them threads and the breakfast table it is not !

@HebeMumsnet Any luck with this ?
