‘Royal’ Forum anyone?

Nothing wrong with people expressing their views about the royal family, for or against, but a specific thread won't prevent the perpetual comments aimed at provoking, goading and ultimately upsetting posters, not their opinions.

Started already.

Still no personal preference either way for a forum, but would we be allowed to chat about republicanism versus monarchism? Or is it just about hats and hard working pensioners?

There's a Royal Family forum on Mumsnet

No thanks

Whaaaat ? You love a chat about them

Please NO!

Yes please, yes please, yes please.

A RF forum so we never have to see the words Harry & Meghan again unless we really want to.

That wouldn't work as we can't block whole forums, just individual threads - as we know from the pesky Games threads!

Agree MaizieD

Do you want a royal family n forum/site with only certain views allowed ? You could ask for that to be added to gnhq guidelines maybe .

Yes please, yes please, yes please.

A RF forum so we never have to see the words Harry & Meghan again unless we really want to.

Threads on the Royal Family should be in ‘Games’, more suitable for a section of posters who mock and derail R.F,
threads

Thank you for asking about this "Calendargirl"

I have no preference either way as I just join in with threads that interest me, or where I have something to say, regardless of what forum they are on. So a dedicated forum wouldn't make any difference to me. Cheers.

There’s really no point as it will just become a playground for those who get their kicks by pouncing on any thread that’s started about the RF.

Oh Calendargirl I've just seen that this topic has no comments, so I'll add an answer.
I'm not sure that the RF would normally merit its own forum, but this year is certainly a momentous one for them. It won't be earth shattering news when the Queen dies, but it will certainly provoke lots of discussion and I understand why people on GN might like to keep it separate from the other forums. Likewise I assume there are those who regard it as trivial stuff which gets in the way at times. They must want it to have its own forum too because we sometimes read comments like, "Go back to your RF thread" when some others engage in political discussions.
I'm sure it was asked of GNHQ to separate News from Politics a while back, and although they said they would think about it, nothing ever happened. By the same token I guess a request for a RF forum might suffer the same fate.
