Clarification on who and what we can discuss

Clearly Lily is on the no list.

I would like clarification from MNHQ as to why we can’t discuss Lily, who else we can’t discuss and what we can’t discuss.

Two threads regarding Lily’s public posts on twitter have been deleted this evening. According to MNHQ these were deleted for being a personal attack and a pile on. However, HQ will be aware of a thread discussing boris Johnston, a thread discussing Colleen Nolan, and one discussing Roxanne Pallett. All of which have been far from complimentary. All allowed to stand.

There would appear to be different standards being applied according to who is being discussed.

I’ve reported this thread in the hope that HA will address this issue and provide clarification. I also ask that this thread does not become a thread about Lily as it will be deleted. This thread is for clarification about what we can discuss and not a TAAT.

Taking suggestions for codenames:

Pinafore
Constellation
Knitting
Flasher
Womanbasher
Sleaze
Pampers

All chosen at random. Any similarity to persons living or dead is entirely accidental etc etc

IfIWasABirdIdFlyIn2ACeilingFan · 08/09/2018 23:34

I’m not sure there would be. I’ve seen it before. When everyone knows there is a legal risk they generally accept its better to shut up.

SPOFS it really depends what you were saying on the thread. Context is everything.

barracker we have a silly game in our house where we swap the first letters of peoples first and surname. But I think the result of that on a certain person’s name might be too much for HQ to cope with Wink

FloralBunting · 08/09/2018 23:44

I think I've got every one except Pampers...

FloralBunting · 08/09/2018 23:45

That makes it sound like I'm collecting Pokémon

Beesandfrogsandfleas · 08/09/2018 23:49

Is Gina Ford on Twitter? Unlike LM she would actually have the money to sue.
Though I suppose there's always crowdfunding...

Evidencebased · 08/09/2018 23:58

It’s a tone thing
LM is young and clearly vulnerable. Cause you can be unpleasant and vunerable at the same time.

Things are happening to make women and girls significantly less safe, and some appalling tactics used to stifle debate and silence women.
That’s what matters to me.

Crying ya boo sucks at immature publicity seekers, not so much.

These young fools are being used , waged as ultra lol flags by political parties. And aided by darker movements. Attack their ideas, not them.

Evidencebased · 09/09/2018 00:00

Bloody autocorrect
waved as ultracool flags

How could you not get Pampers? Grin

IfIWasABirdIdFlyIn2ACeilingFan · 09/09/2018 00:02

Well exactly.

I think we all know exactly what the magical characteristic is that renders certain discussions forbidden on the boards.

Ooh ooh I know! Is it a cock? Grin

FloralBunting · 09/09/2018 00:12

Ereshkigal, it's late, I'm up for work in six hours and I have a chest infection. Plus I think I have caught babybrain from all the new mums on FWR. Being a woman is a terrible affliction.

(Genuinely, I thought Pampers might be Tom Daley, that's how addled I am. I'm now thinking there's a Green connection?)

Beesandfrogsandfleas · 09/09/2018 00:18

Pampers aren't green though are they, surely they'd use cloth nappies?

AnotherQuoll · 09/09/2018 00:21

It's either a cock or standing under an umbrella.

BlackeyedSusan · 09/09/2018 00:24

there is swsnbn

maybe lwsnbn should not post about things that will be talked about in social media.

FloralBunting · 09/09/2018 00:26

How about a cock under an umbrella?

FloralBunting · 09/09/2018 00:27

Right, enough, must sleep now!!!!

TerfedOff · 09/09/2018 00:29

Maybe it’s best we don’t discuss LM at all.

LM is an immature, self-obsessed bore. There are far more interesting things for us to post about in FWR.

I agree with this. Giving oxygen to a nonentity.

This. The point that Labour have given a platform to a vulnerable fool has been made. LM is clearly not well. The threads about her look nasty even when they are more constructive than the norks one.

PineappleSunrise · 09/09/2018 00:53

Gina Ford - LOL. Now if Pinafore strapped babies to rockets, THAT would be worth a proper viperish pile-on.

(Apols to anyone who's been here less than 10 years.)

HollowTalk · 09/09/2018 01:10

Pampers is surely relating to the dodgy dad?

BeyondAnOmnishambles · 09/09/2018 01:15

Hmm... pampers are certainly not very green, hadn't thought of that. Bet those dummies and bottles aren't BPA free either...

Sorry - got distracted there!

Hey wims, if you think Gina ford is a banned subject now, just you wait til GF reveals GF was born a man... Wink

BeyondAnOmnishambles · 09/09/2018 01:19

(Other nappy brands are available btw Grin personally, as a mn product tester, I recommend Lidl. But they only go up to a size 6)
