are we allowed to carry on discussing this?

I agree that personal attacks should not be deleted unless the receiver wishes them to be.

Perhaps it would also be a good idea, if a post was reported and MNHQ agreed it was out of order, that a note added to it to the effect of "MNHQ find this post to be breaking guidelines/rules". This would serve to indicate to the offender that they were being a twat their conduct was unasseptible, and to demonstrate to everyone else what a twat they were was deemed out of order.

This would have been very telling a little while back when....

...oh never mind I can't be bothered to tell the story, you wouldn't believe me anyway as it was long since deleted.

GrimmaTheNome · 10/11/2011 18:37

I report from time to time but either I'm good at avoiding bunfights, or else people behave better around me (apparently) or else it goes right over my head (easily done with a Nome I suppose)

bibbity - I agree with reporting all of those (well except the non-aibuers but we wont there ), it's the 'Oh do feck off you idiot' type things that I think people are just being far too precious about... things like 'You are an idiot' or 'you are a liar'

Oh bolleaux! I do so hate it when dh is at home and we are vair busy doing stuff around the house (preparing for 4 weeks of no-kitchen-hell while we get refurbished) and therefore I cannot spend the day on the scandalous threads on Mumsnet .

I report advertisers/scammers/non-aibuers (occasionally) and extremely hateful disgusting posts aimed at people who don't deserve it.

chipping... i report and flag it up the same way i would on any forum. Just because its not aimed at me doesn't make it ok.

But the problem with this Galaxy is then the person you are having a blazing row debating with, thinks you have reported them, when in fact you considering reporting posts to be generally beneath you, and its extremely frustrating when you want their views to stand to be seen by everyone.

YEP.

Or, Rusty, even more on threads where she was SO rude that they pulled the whole thing? Nah...

LeBOF · 10/11/2011 18:12

I still think "Off you fuck, cuntychops" should be reinstated.

RustyBear · 10/11/2011 18:12

She might have had more in Chat that have disappeared, maryz. Only MNHQ will have the full grime sheet...

I'm regretting ever getting in to this, but I still am sorry DogsBestFriend has gone.

@LadyBeagleEyes

Actually the very worse insults and personal attacks I've seen on here always include a

after every nasty, passive aggressive post. DBF should have tried that, she'd probably still be here.

Nope, a PA is still a PA, even with a

madwomanintheattic · 10/11/2011 18:05

oooo. could we do a top ten? every week?

most posts?
most deletions?

that'd sort out who was queen of freaking mn...

what would an 'appropriate and not excessive' number of posts per week be? if someone would give me a job it'd cut right down my mning. i suppose i have to actually apply for some though...

i have two dogs.

and i live in a forest.

sorta.

it's a wildlife corridor. but there are trees.

no frogs though.

although 'frog' was what dd1 used as her hockey name.

still don't know why.

But the problem with this Galaxy is then the person you are having a blazing row debating with, thinks you have reported them, when in fact you considering reporting posts to be generally beneath you, and its extremely frustrating when you want their views to stand to be seen by everyone.

One point that's worth making here: when a post is reported to us, we do aim always to look at it in context on the thread - and to check the rest of thread for other posts that might break our Guidelines.

So, if Poster A posts, "Fuck off, Poster B" and then Poster B posts, "Fuck off, Poster B" but only Poster B reports Poster A's post, we will delete both PAs (and any others we find).

It may also interest you to know that many, many reports come in from people who aren't involved in the PAs - they're just reading the thread or posting but not getting into the row.

You should never assume that it must be the person you attacked who reported you.
