I'm here, hoping to get more sleep, concerned about Picasso. I think she might be the latest deliberate target.

Pratchet · 23/06/2018 06:47

Also still one strike.

Amalfimamma · 23/06/2018 06:48

Pratchet
Just saw that. What happened her?

Nice to see you. Perhaps we should report early on this thread that [acronym] and [redacted] are being policed in case people didn't see sponty's pist yesterday.
Reason being 'they might be an attempt to circumnavigate the rules' which has to be no shit Sherlock comment of the day

Pratchet · 23/06/2018 06:51

Sponty is not pist lol. Post.

She's on her last life. She's not saying anything that isn't true.

TerfsUp · 23/06/2018 06:52

Present.

Pratchet · 23/06/2018 06:52

Picasso I mean, for the second bit

IfyouseeRitaMoreno · 23/06/2018 06:53

I’m here. No strikes but I’m too weak. I had to fill in a form yesterday asking me if my gender was the same as assigned at birth. I wanted to write an essay on the ridiculousness of the question but meekly put “yes”.

You see all that stuff Meghan Markle’s Dad said about her writing her own box on the corner of the form doesn’t fly on an online form Angry

Sorry just having a rant.

Yes I’m still here.

Pratchet · 23/06/2018 06:53

T*rf is your name alright then, not breaks no rules

Pratchet · 23/06/2018 06:54

Yesterday I raised the issue at work again. The level of unabated ignorance around this is boggling.

Amalfimamma · 23/06/2018 06:57

Ah ffs Pratchet

This is getting ridiculous.

ReluctantCamper · 23/06/2018 07:27

work is too crazy atm for me to read and post much in the week, but it's the weekend, so here I am ignoring the kids and raring to go!

Reading back through the Friday thread.

In place of acronym I'm toying with 'person who was born male but prefers to comply with female gender stereotypes and may or may not have undergone cosmetic surgery on their face and genitals'.

Long but accurate no?

ScarletBegonias · 23/06/2018 07:44

Morning all.

Pratchet - Picasso posted on the 'football thread' at 1.25 this morning and I don't imagine she'll have been kicked off since then.

AngryAttackKittens · 23/06/2018 07:50

Is Picasso on her last strike or just too annoyed with the censorship to continue?

TerfsUp · 23/06/2018 08:17

Trf is your name alright then, not breaks no rules*

No one has said anything to me so I am guessing that it's ok.

TransplantsArePlants · 23/06/2018 09:01

Hi all

LangCleg · 23/06/2018 09:09

Present, no strikes. (I did report myself and ask for a post to be removed because I was obnoxious about it and had made the same points without being obnoxious earlier in the same thread.)

What is happening to Picasso? Which thread do I need to read?

BlackeyedSusan · 23/06/2018 09:16

Morning. No strikes as I have not posted anything much recently. I did have a light the blue touch paper moment irl tho. Need to follow up on that.

spontaneousgiventime · 23/06/2018 10:17

Cough - Sponty was not pist (sic) last night (sadly).

Present and correct, still only one strike.

Terfulike · 23/06/2018 10:21

I have two strikes and don't feel I deserved them. Sponty agrees with me

spontaneousgiventime · 23/06/2018 10:25

Terfulike I don't know why you got the first, the second I read before it was deleted and didn't think it was bad enough for a strike. Actually, I didn't think it was that bad at all. Have you posted about your first strike in the other place?

UpstartCrow · 23/06/2018 10:26

Aah, excuse me being slow on the uptake, but do people mean that literally posting ''[acronym]'' is now banned?

UpstartCrow Yes. I got a warning but not a strike for [acronym] MNHQ say it circumvents the rules.

Terfulike · 23/06/2018 10:33

Sorry if I misrepresented you sponty, earlier in the same thread I mentioned the text of my first one

Baroquehavoc · 23/06/2018 10:34

Terfulike I have no idea why you post was deleted last night. I think posters rather than posts are being targeted in some cases.

I got a warning but not a strike for [acronym] MNHQ say it circumvents the rules.

I suspect MN are trying to force us to use a certain word but don't want to state that explicitly.
