A board just for those whinging about VAT on private schools

@MNHQ please can you move all these really repetitive threads to a different board? I'm sick of seeing them. If trans threads kept appearing on AIBU you would move them to the Feminism board. Same with conflict in the middle East and things about war, or the general election thread, or maybe the Royal family ones. I thi k we have just had the millionth thread in AIBU about this and it's so boring to keep hiding them.

100% agree. @mnhq PLEASE.
let everyone argue amongst themselves, it’s so boring.

It is ridiculous the number of threads on this!! It's been done to death on AIBU.

If you report the threads to MNHQ, I’m sure they’d consider moving it to the relevant board. Truth is, most people post on AIBU just for the traffic. MN could make a specific board for ‘all things private education and VAT’ and people will still post where they want

Barefootsally · 13/06/2024 22:43

I’d really appreciate it is they did! I have already asked,

Although I’m pretty sure the haters will still dominate the threads even though they’ve never had kids in private schools and have zero skin in the game - they just can’t help it. It’s like a red rag to a bull

Gabbsters · 13/06/2024 22:45

Totally agree. I’m starting to suspect there’s some sort of coordination going on.

Wolfiefan · 13/06/2024 22:45

Agreed.

No3387 · 13/06/2024 23:14

Agreed

TheGirlWithTheMousyHair · 13/06/2024 23:16

Agreed also.

TheShellBeach · 13/06/2024 23:16

@MNHQ doesn't go anywhere.
You need to report your own OP.

Clingfilm · 13/06/2024 23:19

Agreed!

ilovesooty · 13/06/2024 23:19

I don't see why they can't move them to the Education board.

stayathomer · 13/06/2024 23:19

The irony is that there’s another thread like this asking the same thing

SheilaFentiman · 13/06/2024 23:22

A lot of the threads ARE in Education and a few are presumably in General Election 2024.

I think they’d be better in the latter, as they are to do with politics not the substance of education

Summerose · 13/06/2024 23:25

You're sooo... tired of the threads that you start a thread about them. 🤔 ok.

LilyMumsnet · 14/06/2024 16:21

Hi all,

We'll have a chat about this in the office. In the meantime, please report concerns to us - we're happy to take a look behind the scenes to see if there's anything suspicious going on.

GoogleWhacking · 14/06/2024 16:24

Thanks @LilyMumsnet there is an inexplicable amount of these threads so a look behind the scenes would be welcomed.

I think either move them to Education, or move them to General Election.

But also move all other general election threads too ...

DistinguishedSocialCommentator · 14/06/2024 16:35

OP
so how many threads re VAT on private education??

I agree that stuff that is relevant to the GE should go on the GE forums

OhYoko · 14/06/2024 16:46

Another vote for fucking these off elsewhere. Or just banning the ridiculous topic.

GoogleWhacking · 14/06/2024 16:56

I have seen way more than 20 threads in the past 6 weeks!
