Two threads late last night????

Two threads just popped up??????

We are not allowed to say they are “T**lls” but it’s not rocket science to work out surely????

7.2 million.....outdated figures for mumsnet 2017

Lily65 Fri 05-Apr-19 20:10:35

sorry, are you telling me I am entitled?

I expect to be able to have some modicum of trust and accountability and for moderators to moderate?

How much money does mumsnet and this site make please?

anybody care to comment , thanks.

I think you could be right about the money Gonegirl. Perhaps we grans are not as gullible when it comes to advertising.

Gonegirl Fri 05-Apr-19 19:45:13

And don't you get that the cake thing is a joke? Doubt if any of 'em eat cake. They'll be too busy watching their figures, like the rest of their peers. hmm

Gonegirl Fri 05-Apr-19 19:42:50

Mumsnet makes loads of money. I've got a feeling GN just about scrapes by.

Gonegirl Fri 05-Apr-19 19:42:03

Blooming Norah! How entitled can anyone get?!

Lily65 Fri 05-Apr-19 19:29:55

sorry, Lazi, I am a bit naive. So it's making a load of money but they haven't got the wit to stop people inventing new identities? And Clare and Sara are ever so busy making cakes and/or feeding toddlers so they can't so their job of moderating?

Sorry to see we are in for another boring evening ....... sigh. ........ they have started early this evening

Of course it generates income Lily. They're not running it for altruistic reasons. That's why there's so many ads!

Lily65 Fri 05-Apr-19 10:04:06

Why is there nothing in place to stop people opening an account and saying what they like please?

I'm sorry I don't understand it.

Also does this site generate income? In which case it should be moderated . Thanks.

Elevenses started early than usual at GNHQ this morning GrannyGravy13 brew cupcake

Thank you Sarah, it has been an “interesting” 24 hours on GN and appreciate you have been busy.

Hopefully you had tea & cake for sustenance.

Thank you for all of your reports. As you know we are a post-moderated site so we are reliant on your reports to alert us to these kinds of threads.

Like all social networking sites, we are prone to being targeted by trolls. When this occurs, it can sometimes be a coordinated attempt by trolls who post multiple threads at the same time. This makes things very busy for us and involves more work 'behind the scenes' that just deleting a comment. So while it might seem that GNHQ is being quiet - we're not, we're just busy trying to keep the trolls from the door.

Our reporting system defaults to include the comment that you've reported. We appreciate that some of the reported comments have been particularly crude recently and we hear your concerns about this. We are looking at ways of managing this better so please bear with us.

And, of course, please continue to report any posts/threads you are concerned about. smile

I belong to a forum where the username of the person who started a thread is shown alongside the heading - I wonder whether this might be used on GN

Littleannie Thu 04-Apr-19 23:15:37

Oops sorry, bellasnana. I think it was because the email went to my spam folder that it put me on my guard.
Once again, apologies to bellasnana.

Tuppnce Thu 04-Apr-19 23:13:03

PMs and emails are not the same thing. We get an email to say we have a PM from another member.
What s the problem with that?

Tuppnce Thu 04-Apr-19 23:11:34

What is the problem with Bellasnana ?
A long standing and respectable and popular member of GN.

Littleannie Thu 04-Apr-19 23:10:16

EllanVannin
The PM wasn't from someone called bellasnana was it?
I had a message in my spam folder to say she had sent me one, but I didn't open it.

Gonegirl Thu 04-Apr-19 22:41:00

Email or PMs? Surely not emails.

phoenix Thu 04-Apr-19 22:39:31

EllanVannin you should report that to GNHQ!

EllanVannin Thu 04-Apr-19 22:36:54

My email was hacked and it's still not right. This is the only forum that I use and my laptop has never been as messed up as it is now so I'm blocking all PM's.
My own fault for answering a pm about 4/6 weeks ago by someone who hasn't since appeared. I know the name and exactly what was in the pm.

I'd say that this was an unsafe site !!

BlueBelle Thu 04-Apr-19 22:33:53

Missed all the excitement AGAIN

Tuppnce Thu 04-Apr-19 22:25:30

You probably need double cupcake and cafe rations at the moment!
Keeping you on your toes?

nanaK54 Thu 04-Apr-19 22:16:15

I actually quite liked the uniform and onesie posts grin

grannyqueenie Thu 04-Apr-19 22:09:55

It makes talk of onesies and school uniforms seem perfectly “normal” hmm
