Are Harry, Meghan, Archie and Lili coming back home?

[NotMyPage]

It would be nice to have them back and getting along with the rest of the family, what do people think? They'd have to apologise and try to move forward in a positive way. With Charles being unwell and elderly, and the Wales kids too young to serve as working royals, the Sussex's may be needed. Trump may win the election, which could have a negative impact on them and Archie will start school soon, a great time to relocate home?? Apparently Meghan is looking for PR agencies to help her improve her image. Would the Uk welcome them?

Totally agree, but you'd hope we could at least have an ignore button ...

I actually didn't even realise that there was a name change function on mumsmet untill you said that.

I thought that you were talking about people who get banned from mumsnet, and then come back with a different email and name.

I didn't realise that mumsnet has a function where you can just change names whenever you want.

After i realised that me and you must be talking about different things , i had a look atound the mumsnet menu.

I see the name change function now on settings
.

Yes that is just asking for trouble

Yes. I don’t agree that it would ruin the flow of the forum (that has been given as a reason before for not having one) either as people have complete control.

The other forum (a sport one) I use most has a setting where you can ignore another poster and on there you just get a box with their name and thing you can click if you want to open that specific post.

Very easy to read if it does spoil the flow and very easy to scroll by if you don’t want to.

An ignore button would work for me.

Sorry Alice that's awful 😞

Yeah I'm also on a different chat forum and it has an ignore button.

An ignore button is really useful

I don't think mn do a lot to prevent bullying on here.

There should be an ignore function
And there should not be that name change function

Though the other side of it, now I remember.

Is that they have the name change function in place, because people bully people over their past posts.

There a few people here who have a consistent name across the board and people have definitely targeted them - many old hat names have seen it.

I don't see the point of an ignore button. I just choose who I interact with when on forums in general. I will mostly reply to anyone but in my experience, of various different forums, there are always a couple of posters who I personally feel it is a waste of time to reply to so I don't.

I am more than happy to be ignored if people find me irritating or not worth replying to. I like that aspect of forums, that you can choose who to discuss with.

It's not about interaction.

It's that you don't to even read their posts, because they are so awful

I hadn't thought about it in that context, I usually just stop reading posts that I find nasty.

I used to be on twitter and nothing I've read here compares to the awfulness of the extreme Meghan/Kate fans there. Really batshit and unpleasant stuff, I would think anyone would be ashamed to post. It's why I left.

Back when X was twitter.

It makes it easier to scroll past rather than having to pick through the page to see if there are actually any posts on the subject of the thread in between squabbles and foul posts.

I'm glad I'm not on there now it is X!

WRT to the personal attacks here, in a way it’s just good to see the true colors of posters who pretend to be all kinds of good when they are clearly not.

Of course like others mentioned, they can and do name change but they can’t do a full character transplant so it doesn’t take long to spot them.

I hadn't thought of that, that would be nice.

Ok you have both convinced me, I'm joining the ignore button crew ;)

Very true ! @AliceOlive

Would you really be able to remember people in that much detail?

When I go off mumsnet I wouldn't remember a single posters name .
I wouldn't remember a single poster if I saw the same name again on Another thread.

If they namechanged I definitely wouldn't remember them

You would if things jumped out.

For example I can spot the person that very nastily replied to a post of mine on a thread about abusive parents a mile off. Even when they name change the best distinctive way they set out their posts jumps out.

Same with a frequent name changer on this forum that has a habit of picking on one person in a thread repeatedly. They pick a poster and just attack constantly until the person leaves the thread. They have a spag habit that means name changing doesn’t hide them for long.

The issue with social media is that it serves you what you’re interested in and engage in - my SM pages reflect my interests very well and I’ve learned to engineer it back when find find it veering towards spaces and people I don’t want to engage in. Also using the block and mute button for certain posters is useful.

The annoying trend on all SM is actually the For You Page - came from TikTok and is on X, FB and I think Instagram where the default goes to the the wider internet though linked to things you’re interested in but since that has happened I have seen some truly awful sides of social media recently 😟.

🤣Glad I looked up what SPaG stood for 🤣- I was so confused about this poster’s apparent meaty sauce habit and how it was relevant to this thread.

Thats enough tinternet for me this afternoon - it’s a bloody glorious day out there today.

After someone has attacked me or any other poster this way, I will always remember them. Also, erratic styles of writing and posting stick out. There will often be a vague familiarity.

Also, in my opinion, no one just stumbles over here and starts swinging at everyone. Either a name change, PBP or they’ve been incited to do so.

I thought it was a typo for spam as we’ve certainly seen that.

Glad I looked up what SPaG stood for

OMG that’s exactly what was happening to the poster I saw bullied. She needed support related to her mother and instead got attacked horribly.
