I'd like to know whether the site is moving in another direction. And what that means for some of our important supportive boards.

I've seen some awful threads and posts left up for far to long. I'm also cynical of the IF you report it gets dealt with party line. As it doesn't. The trolling and goading that occurs in Bereavement, FWR, SN and Relationships, is left far too long after it has been reported.

Yet it is very obvious that some posters are either being monitored or targeted by reporters as they are deleted with alarming speed and precision.

With respect it's your site, but I'm buggered if I know what I can and can't say anymore. Sad

Absolutely agree Yoni.

It's time MNHQ stopped saying they are thinking about this, or ideas are in the pipeline. The answer is simple, someone needs to be there to respond quickly. You know like they managed to do when Gok was on.

Yes, inconsistency is a big issue with regards to moderation.

YoniTime · 23/10/2013 23:35

I believe boards with sensitive dicussions such as Bereavement and Relationships, and FWR - which is often attacked by anti-feminist/MRA goaders - need active moderating. During the night too.

Its not just posters, I've seen a few posts from MNHQ that have made me wince of late too.

I suspect it is because they have been affected too, with repeated allegations of having favourites or cronies.

It just seems like everything on here of late has been reactive.

I'm not naive, I Know mn is a money spinner, and needs revenue, but I don't want to stay if its going to become style over substance.

So many newcomers to FWR section are so obviously just here to inflame and play their little game of 'goad the feminist' -but they stay.

It's a real shame, because for a very short while after 'We Believe You' was launched, things really improved - the Mra trolls were dealt with and banned.

Now, it's worse than ever.

GoshAnneGorilla · 23/10/2013 23:21

Yep, there's been an awful lot of racist and other poking minority groups with a stick threads that have been allowed to stand too.

No one knows how or whether to post just in case they get targeted.

Advice and experience is being decried because it "doesn't fit the spirit of the site".

How often do we see that line trotted out?

Mitchy1nge · 23/10/2013 23:18

yes, and when you have a spare minute MNHQ please clarify whether you prefer the standard of discourse to be set by those users manipulating the rules-as-written (sorry, rooooles) or those who embody the spirit of them. cheers.

SweetSkull · 23/10/2013 23:18

I am probably spending too much time here too.
Perhaps it is time for a break.

usualsuspect · 23/10/2013 23:16

Yep, I'm in a permanent state of should I stay or should I go.
