How will the proposed private rooms work?

248 replies

LilyBolero · 15/08/2009 22:05

In the light of the DM stuff, I imagine MNHQ will be looking to get the private rooms sorted out quickly. So I wondered how they would run? Will it be a case of a single user opening a room and then inviting people to join them? Or will it be possible to request an invite?

How will you avoid narnia type incidents?

Battlehips, get over it, we are onto DailyGate now - MoldieGate is over.

Flamesparrow · 16/08/2009 14:14

Lol @ FAQ always leaving

She does return very well though

BadgersArse · 16/08/2009 14:15

i was a founder?! ooh la la
thats news to me

vonsudenfedhatespauldacre · 16/08/2009 14:16

No, I agree with battlehips, that was well out of order. It may be water under the bridge, but it ain't going to stay that way if people who were at the heart of it start taking the piss out of other people's upset.

Unfortunately, I think it shows just how playgroundy the 'rooms' might get.

[FWIW one of the great reliefs of moldie-gate was that it took a lot of that juvenile popularity contest and sneering attitude out of MN]

BadgersArse · 16/08/2009 14:18

i will be gutted if i am ut of the 40 years younger room

i will NEVER get over i

BadgersArse · 16/08/2009 14:18

and what if real nappies bin me
waaaaaaaaaaaah

kathyis6incheshigh · 16/08/2009 14:19

It would only degenerate Moldies-style if you could set up a room any time you like for whatever purpose and with whatever entry criteria you wanted.
I think MN Towers need to keep some control of it, so that rooms are limited and admission is transparent.

Starting a room should be more like starting a topic than starting a thread. And you should absolutely not be able to have a room for you and your mates, but for 'any MNer who has an SN child/works in a particular field/has recently lost a partner' etc.

BadgersArse · 16/08/2009 14:19

i will have one for beautiful people only no uglies allowed

BadgersArse · 16/08/2009 14:20

god DEATH as an entry requirement is a bit harsh kathy!!

battlehips · 16/08/2009 14:20

If moldiegate is over why is she talking about it and jeering at those she hurt

TheChilliMooseSpeakstheTruth · 16/08/2009 14:20

I'll have Chilli's thread for silly chat and no moaning and no talking about pushchairs and no sob stories.

kathyis6incheshigh · 16/08/2009 14:21

You will need an objective and transparent criterion for assessing beauty though BadgersArse. Is there any computer software to do it or will we have to get a panel in from FHM and Nuts?

KingCanuteIAmAndTheDMCanFOff · 16/08/2009 14:21

BA was not a founder - at least get your facts right if you are going to screach moldie at people.

BadgersArse · 16/08/2009 14:22

i never "hurt" people, oir indeed set up "moldies"
they overreacted.

BadgersArse · 16/08/2009 14:22

chilli
can i be on it

kathyis6incheshigh · 16/08/2009 14:23

Yes BA, that one would be v exclusive until there was a nuclear war and then we would all join in.

Flamesparrow · 16/08/2009 14:23

wtf - jeering at those she hurt.

Yes. Moldies is, and always has been just one person. It was plotted in her conservatory one day, built by her, and then only invited her friends.

battlehips · 16/08/2009 14:23

PMSL ROFL and whatever else I can do whist laughing my arse off at 'not be able to have to a room for you and your mates'
That is exactly what it would be.

Her and her cronies all sat in one room slagging off whatever threads the rest of us start on the main boards.

Playground bullying here we come

BadgersArse · 16/08/2009 14:24

god i did
i drew lots.
then cackled

Flamesparrow · 16/08/2009 14:24

Oh no, Nuts is just cheap and trashy. I will only be assessed by FHM. Oh, and currently people with pregnant woman fetishes.

Flamesparrow · 16/08/2009 14:25

I read that as you drawing lots, as in doing many doodles... then I realised I was stupid

battlehips · 16/08/2009 14:25

Oh thats right is was a ^coincidence' that it was set up directly after she had been hounded out by her stalker (who no longer seems to be a problem )

Sorry I forgot the party line: she is nothing, do you hear me, *nothing to do with moldies, codnet is just a joke

BadgersArse · 16/08/2009 14:26

god i an HAVE MY OWN EMPIRE

puts woonde spoon away

Flamesparrow · 16/08/2009 14:27

It wasn't set up after she left though!!!!!! That has been said over and over and over on the 10,000 moldie threads. I have only read about 2% of them and even I learnt that!
