Any other declared Republicans having difficulty getting back in to Royal Family threads?

Yes I know this sounds very odd! 😃

I am honestly not a paid up member of the tin foil hat brigade and tend not to believe in conspiracy theories!

But … I can get in to any other topic on Mumsnet very quickly but when it comes to RF threads that I have posted on, it’s very, very slow, and sometimes refreshes to a blank page or doesn’t allow me in, in the first place! Not the same for other threads I have posted on under this nn, and others with a similar number of posts.

It’s really wierd!

Dh says I am being tracked by Buckingham Palace which I would consider a great complement frankly! 😆😆

But could it possibly be that Mumsnet Towers put certain posters “under observation” for reasons best known to themselves?

I can’t imagine why as I have always found their moderation to be reasonable and fair given the enormous task in hand!

Btw, I know this thread should probably be on Site Stuff but I wanted other republicans to see it!

Have any other declared Republicans experienced the same issues or am I losing touch with reality? 😃😃

No.

What possible benefit would Mumsnet gain from that?

What possible benefit would the Royal Family gain from that?

I totally agree! I can’t work out any benefit to either!

In which case, surely you should consider that you are wrong and this is not in fact happening.

That fact that you even considered this is pretty bonkers.

It is actually happening in fact though.

And I am posting because it is happening not because I consider it to be happening!

I am being bounced out of particular threads by the page refreshing on me and not from others. I’m not making it up!

And yes it’s completely bonkers.

It could be a technical issue, I assume it is, who knows? But why only particular threads?

Is it the length of them? Maybe it’s that?

I am going to turn off, recharge my phone, and see what happens?

I didn’t mean that your technical issues were imaginary. I mean it’s bonkers to jump from
”technical issues” to “Mumsnet and Buckingham Palace” are monitoring and limiting my activities.

FleurDeFleur · 10/08/2025 15:10

You have actually created a thread on the Royal Family board.
Perhaps the technical issues were resolved and it's not Princess Anne at GCHQ controlling MN and all the UK press.

myplace · 10/08/2025 15:12

Something else is happening.

Maybe the RF threads are slow because of their size, or something.

zaazaazoom · 10/08/2025 15:13

This adds to my theory about royalists 😁

jeffgoldblum · 10/08/2025 15:28

No change at all for me ! Maybe you have too many pages open?

Which threads are you being "bounced out of"? There is not one thread on the RF board which has no Republican sentiment, expressed clearly. Which is the way it should be

Vespanest · 10/08/2025 15:45

How do you become a "declared" republican? Rather than just a republican, do you get a card.

Secret handshake and a ring I assume!

Yes of course! My dh was being tongue in cheek about Buckingham Palace which I indicated with two smilies!

I don’t think it’s beyond the realm of possibility that Mumsnet have a “track a potential troublemaker” facility! Except I hope I am not classed as that! I’m actually quite polite! 😀

Have you seen some threads on this board? People who are anti Royal post very strong opinions, don't go down the conspiracy route. Seriously. Lots of debate happens.

I’m not going down the conspiracy route honestly! I’m just trying to find an explanation.

And believe me the strong opinions come from both sides on those threads!

Yes! No problem creating this or accessing it!

Of course they do! Quite rightly. Therefore it's obviously not controlled by anyone anywhere.

I don’t but maybe it’s to do with length of threads? I can access other long threads though?

Do you think it might be because of the number of links or photos included in a thread?

That’s the only logical explanation I can think of!

No, I don't think so, have you contacted MNHQ? I think that would be the way forward.

Being serious for a moment here! , I have no issue on the app but currently today the website is very slow intermittently , and only half refreshing.

myrtleWilson · 10/08/2025 16:26

why would you ask this question by starting a thread on RF, rather than asking on Site Stuff if there is a problem with loading threads or is KC3 tracking me?

Ah, thank you, maybe it’s that then jeffgoldblum?

In that case, I will leave it a few days before reporting.

There are obviously technical glitches at play which appear specific but are obviously not!

Hope so anyway! That’s the sanest explanation anyway! 😃
