Anyone else here after deleting their Mumsnet account?

What on earth happened last night??

Why, what happened? (I’ve never looked at MN site).
Anyway, welcome to us oldies!

I use MN a lot but missed whatever it was last night. It did sound nasty though.

No, what happened?

I do look on Mumsnet occasionally - might zip over there now

Worse than here? We have our moments.

Much worse. Somebody was posting child pornography pictures.

I'm off to look at MN - but where to look ................ ?

About 15 Cat A CSA photos were posted on various threads and not taken down for a while. The nightmod team are volunteers and obviously found it an extremely distressing night.

I clicked on one of the thread but no one had posted so thankfully didn't see any any images. There are lots of traumatised posters who have seen the images and not to mention the chidren involved.

Mumsnet has been having a lot of tech issues lately that they cannot seem to get a handle on and this for me is not a usable site.

What was the context?

Oh I think we’re a pretty civilised lot here, you should take a look on ‘comment is free’ on the Guardian site, is often a free for all.
And we might disagree on things but is all water under the bridge a bit later.

Oh, sorry, scrub that question.

Bloody hell!
Excuse the language!
But that is not what I expected.
😡

I didn’t see the images, but there’s a thread I read earlier this morning called ‘URGENT please remove asap’ which is talking about what happened.

When I came here from mumsnet nearly 10 years ago Gnet seemed incredibly prissy. And some posters were like bossy little girls in the junior school playground... mumsnet was /is more robust.

How disgusting.
Not the site's fault, though.

They don't have the proper procedures when things like this happen. They should have a team of people at night to tackle these problems sooner and more robust tech in place and procedures to stop people posting multiple photos etc

OMG! How awful.

I bet they will after this incident!
I see what you're saying.

Have the images been taken down now, do you know?

If there's a thread called urgent it sounds unlikely.surely the whole thread should be gone?

If the aim of putting those pictures on to Mumsnet was reduce membership of Mumsnet, then they have achieved their objective.
But why join another site run by the same organisation.

Yes they have all been removed but how can we be sure that if we click on a thread that we won't see another image?

I am already a member and I didn't think Gransnet allowed photos?

Gransnet do not have the tech issues that MN has atm. It almost feels like the site is being constantly hacked.

Child pornography that's awful

I still go on MN, sometimes I find it more entertaining than GN the mood quite different understandably, as there is still an overwhelming majority at the "coalface", as to work and being more immersed in the early stages of parenting and I like to get their perspective in how they're affected by the trials of life.

There's nothing more entertaining than threads pertaining to Parking Wars, or the guests, that arrive, often having invited themselves and then won't leave. Any such thread on those subjects, well lets just say, they could fill a book. Then there's the interfering "in laws", occasionally they appear on GN too, and the women who want to take over the baby "time on their own with grandchild", as their God given right take my breath away with their entitlement. The language can be ripe over there not for the faint hearted and as you say Maizie, far more robust, the bossy playground types soon get short shrift.

I first went on MN for their book threads, I used to post on the "50" book one there, which is really extensive, and then I thought we should have one, so I started it here on GN.

Yes, photos are allowed here.
They may be restricted when you first join, but I can't claim to know that for sure.

How sickening... I'd be terrified of clicking into an image with the sort of pics mumsnet had.

When I joined in 2011 I nearly PMSL at a thread where posters were clutching their pearls because some were watching daytime television. 😂
