Can you get into trouble for reporting too much?

I report if I see a PA or if I think I see a troll thread. I don't give it much thought. If I think it might be a troll thread I report it even if I am not sure and am enjoying it

There is no "philosophy of Mumsnet", other than perhaps "be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes". The rest is people's personal opinions. If they don't happen to agree with yours, well, that's probably because you're wrong innit?

BTW I am reporting this thread for being about a thread.

I'm waiting to be banned for reporting and questioning the philosophy of MNet which appears to be turning into BLIAR Net.

you need to start a campaign in AIBU.
maybe when the Olivia twins arrive MNHQ will be happy to celebrate with gin.

I don't know if she has sprogged down yet.

if you start a thread pm me please!

Zing I have been pestering lobbying for a gin emoticon for aaaaages but as yet Tech is ignoring.

We needed one on the sad mothers trying not to be clucky about their Freshers Empty Nest Thread, but no.

I blamed OliviaNoGinMumsnet just 'cos she was upduffed no-one else could enjoy a snifter or two glass.

Has she gone on Mat Leave now?

Love Jux's idea of the shit-browning of a post according to the number of reports it gets. There is an analogy to be made there with brown-nosing but I can't be arsed to make it.

ta ever so, Honey!

MadameD, I shall follow you from thread to thread saying nice things if it happens again.

That'll learn 'em.

Yes, they got deleted.

I am not a fan of deletions. but in some circs its definitely the better option.

I've missed all this! I can't keep up. Have they been deleted now? Hope you are not too rattled Madame.

well indeed, a bit cool would be fine. But two threads trashing me was a tad much.

Hmmmm as opposed to

< reports MNHQ for still not doing a gin emoticon - possibly from being permanently tipsy>

See, I always feel that hq are a bit trigger happy with the ol' deletions. I'd like to see a lot more stay.

I'm not sure its altogether realistic to expect people never to be a bit off with you if you have had a huge barney on another thread though? That's not much like real life. Obviously its not on to be hostile and vile. But a bit cool is ok?

Can I lobby a bit for the non-deletion of posts, but perhaps a counter of how many reports a post clocks up and maybe a change to shit-brown colour when it gets 10 reports?

I have seen my first proper troll for ages today (not goady fucker / PA). It was like spotting a rare beast...

I agree Maryz it doesn't seem consistent at all. And some posts are gone within minutes whereas others hang around for days.

What ever happened to the have a fight on one thread and perhaps agree on another? I have experienced this this week. And am a bit cross at it. I do think this needs to emphasised. If I thought I was going to be ignored/goaded etc on any other not related thread...maybe I would think again. But it has hurt. I had a bit of a bunfight the other day, and it has become clear to me that I am non persona grata on many other threads. This is so not in the spirit of MN that I know. What should I do?

Oh I wondered this too... I've been way to reporty recently. Realised it was time to step away from the keyboard for a bit!

I would suggest if you report something and then think actually no it's fine then just report the same post again saying you've chnaged your mind. That said though HQ make up their own minds and if they think something is not dodgy they'll reply to you saying so. Then you sit and wait for them to be proved wrong

What happens if you report and then regret it?

anyone else read Kates list in a Gilbert and Sullivan song way?
