I was banned for speculating about celebrity affairs, didn't just have my post removed but was banned just like that. The mods are ridiculous, power hungry simpletons who probably also run their local parish council meetings in their spare time when not moderating mumsnet. The only thing I miss is not being able to ask for advice on the gardening or property/DIY boardsWas just reading a post about katie price/Carl woods. Asking the valid question if they are both saying he didn’t hit her, then who did. Someone jumped on there telling the op it wasn’t “kind” to talk about it and then a few mins later, a mod pops on to say it’s being removed for being “too speculative” ! ffs, katie price literally sold the story two days after the incident to a tabloid, and has done at least one more story on it since then! As well as overseeing every detail of her life generally. Yet we are all meant to sit in silence according to mumsnet and not discuss itwhy a load of grown women (and a few men) continue to let some power hungry uprights control what they discuss is beyond me.

Just once I'd love it to be trainspotting
But that wouldn't be 'outing' - as no MNetter would ever allow others to know that her husband is one of those.Just once I'd love it to be trainspotting
there is an off topic forum here
I was called ‘ableist’ for saying that mobility scooters are bleeping dangerous when not used properly and that there should be a mandatory test before using them.
That just sounds sensible to me. I think they sometimes go too fast. They have been involved in several accidents and they are on the rise. I have a vague recollection of a film on something like Watchdog or The One Show about them. One person made the point that they are meant to take the place of walking when they are on the pavement, and as these go up to approx 15 miles an hour, or more,, that is not a replication of walking speed. I am amazed there isn’t a test. It is not ableist to point out the dangers of moving vehicles on pavements, be they bikes, electric scooters or mobility scooters.
There is a brief article here - this stood out The use of mobility scooters is only likely to grow as the baby-boomer generation moves into old age and with rising levels of obesity across all generations affecting personal mobility.”

Mumsnet can be a v.strange place.
Mumsnet is a very weird place. There was a thread recently asking what they would do to change the world. A lot of them were saying they would wipe out men and put women in charge.
For a lot of them claiming to be liberal and tolerant - a lot of are the opposite authoritarian and intolerant.
Same with the unpopular opinion threads - they start out ok but then some posters go too far and post truly awful opinions.
A lot of them would tell you the sky was black if you said it was blue.

I saw an old guy on a mobility scooter earlier today, being escorted by two police cars, because he decided to take it down the duel carriageway! There was a massive queue of rush hour traffic being help up by him.
I once saw a woman on a mobility scooter almost get hit by a bus as she decided to drive across the road at the same time the bus was driving down the road.
I think I remember reading about the man who drove down the dual carriageway too.
I also read about a little girl who got hit by a mobility scooter and the woman just drove off, no apology and didn't check to see if she was ok.
Mobility scooters can be lethal in the wrong hands and I think there needs to be a test before someone can use them.

And a speed restriction of 6 miles per hour.
In Mumsnet land the police would be accused of being ‘ableist’ for that no doubt.
I’ve read it all now. There’s a comment on a thread about Ant and Dec saying that Byker Grove was ableist for having PJ(Ant) go blind. Apparently A&D should be cancelled for this, despite the fact it was 25 years ago at least!
I wish these people would cancel themselves and leave the rest of us to crack on. They are complete joy suckers, angry at life and wanting to take their anger out at someone, anyone will do. Or something. They are probably trolling, nobody can be that dim.
The Prince Philip mustard prank brought out the joy suckers too. I am by far a Royalist but the way they go on, you'd think Prince Philip had clubbed their newborn.
And yes, I wish they would cancel themselves too.

Some of them have definitely lost the plot on the fix the world thread. Now we have curfews for men on there as well as making them extinct.

Imagine a man posting to say he would get rid of all women!! He would be crucified!! What I hate is they think women are saints (unless you are a step mum or mother in law) and men are always at fault. I know plenty of women that are wicks and many of them on there. I've read a few threads recently (no longer post) where the woman has wanted a other baby and the man hasn't and the 'advice' has been to 'accidently' get pregnant, and they've known women who have done it. Such double standards.
Absolutely. I remember a thread where a poster was broody for a second child but her husband had wanted to wait a while until their eldest child started school. She secretly stopped taking the pill, chucking it down the sink and then when she not surprisingly got pregnant immediately realised her selfish act was going to land in her in trouble, panicked and posted on Mumsnet.
She was given a roasting by a majority of posters and advice to come clean to her husband and to try and find some form of paid work to finance a second child but there were some encouraging her to lie further by saying it was a "surprise" pregnancy and the pill wasn't that effective anyway. (I think it's 99% if taken correctly)
It beats me why some of them got married or in a relationship with a man in the first place considering they hate them so much.
I tried to “park” a mobility scooter on someone else’s behalf once and crashed straight into a wall 
There’s a thread on there at the moment about the petrol panic buying and how selfish it is etc. In true mumsnet style there are several posts stating that they ‘needed’ to buy petrol because they ‘needed’ to go to work. Surely it’s obvious that the OP is referring to those idiots who are just buying for the sake even though they still have half a tank and are filling up Jerry cans etc not people who are filling up because they genuinely need to? It was the same at the start of the pandemic with the toilet toll shortages, the amount of posters who said it was sensible to ‘stock up’ was laughable. You can tell that mumsnet posters fuel a lot of this behaviour. I once started a thread about people who panic buy at Christmas and buy about 27 loaves of bread. I was told by several posters that they had to cater for 30 people that years and needed to buy that much bread, I didn’t realise sandwiches were a thing on Christmas Day?
