MNHQ - as the KP thread is not accepting messages, can you confirm you will be looking at wiltswonder15 who admitted namechanging to post goady shit.

Just deleting the thread gets rid of the comments but there seems to have been no need to post under a name change whilst being quite gleeful about upsetting several parents of DC with disabilities. So at best questionable behaviour.

Otherwise it's just a licence to be a twat isn't it? Being a twat is against the ethos of the site isn't it?

I'm just concerned that this pattern of namechanging goady posters just disappearing after a thread is deleted is quite a regular pattern now.
I hope those posting under name changes are being noted.

I reported that one about the disabled toilets, samcro. It was a wind up!

Afternoon folks, we've reason to think this OP was on a bit of a wind-up. We're going to delete the thread shortly.

That's the message that was posted on the thread. Is that OP going to "get their cards marked too?" Hmm

DinoMight · 27/01/2015 16:15

should we have a sub group for GFs who are also Journos or is that just par for the course do you think?

Samcro · 27/01/2015 16:11

so now we have another GF who has started a thread. it is obvious it is a GF as they have picked.....disability again, today.
why can't we just have a GF topic and shove them all in there?

MrsVamos · 27/01/2015 16:03

Pag

Can't bring myself to look at the DM site, so don't know.

Sorry.

Are any of my 'you cunting cowardly cunting cunt' posts on the mail site?
< innocent face>
I had my cunt-o-meter set to max

Thanks Rebecca.
I do agree with pp that MN is a bit too quick to present goady disabling wankery as if it were simply a spat. I think the intent is to be even handed but I hope this is something you ponder further.
I understand posters desire or need to name change. But I really do think that namechanging and then being incredibly insensitive (at best) on subjects such as disability should result in a pretty swift response from mnhq.

The benefit of the doubt is fine, indeed laudable. But you are placing the possibility that someone completely new is accidentally being a twat on the same level as half a dozen regular and identifiable posters being upset.
Being even handed can go to far. Telling someone with a shiny new name that they are being a shithead is not equal to upsetting half a dozen parent of children with disabilities. It just isn't.

You have loyal, reasonable longstanding posters who support each other and contribute to the site. A namechanging tossers need to be a name changing tosser should not be the primary thing here . It shouldn't.

I'd really like you to go so far as calling the behaviour out when it happens. Actually act upon this is my child rather than linking it.
C'mon . You know it's what you want really.

Its a pity journalists can't do their own work? some people steal a living.

Britbird · 27/01/2015 14:40

Quotes from the thread have now appeared on the daily mails story. I reckon the op was a journalist.

MrsVamos · 27/01/2015 14:36

I get that, RebeccaMN.

Its just like teenage twats then isn't it ? An asbo is a 'badge of honour'. So must be an MN banning, or a thread being left showing twattishness.

What sorry, sad, empty little lives some must lead.

@MrsVamos

Thank you for changing, RebeccaMN.

Still not quite accurate but better !

Is there not the option to leave the thread up but locked ? I do feel its time to show posters that certain behaviours will not be tolerated, and show who the gutless, gfs are ?

I suppose you take it down because quite rightly it riles people and then we have TAATs ?

Just a shame as it feels like the name changers/gfs/trolls win. Sad

We tend not to leave threads like that up because it glorifies the gfs, for want of a better word. It's not really something that we want to last forever in the MN archives, tbh.

Thanks fuck I avoided that, I saw 'KP' and 'benefits' and smelled shite straightaway.

I'm glad MN have changed that deletion message.

ouryve · 27/01/2015 14:09

I missed the very end of the thread, after Wilts waded in (too busy baking cake) but thankfully, the deletion message on my "Threads I'm on" page simply says breaking talk guidelines, now.

MrsVamos · 27/01/2015 14:06

I knew the thread was dodgy but couldn't ignore the twattery.

I never can. Blush

RebeccaMumsnet · 27/01/2015 14:05

Hi all,

Thank you all for posting.

We have taken onboard what you have said and in retrospect, the 'bunfight' option was a bad call. We have changed it now.

WRT the OP, we will be looking into them further to see if they have form for threads of a similar nature. We will be taking action if they do.

DinoMight · 27/01/2015 13:56

Calling it a bunfight suggests that the posters objecting to the views of the OP were just as bad.

Which is a pretty shitty thing to insinuate isn't it?

Linskibinski · 27/01/2015 13:50

Maybe when a thread heads under the bridge there should be a general call to alert all and step away from the thread. Anyone got any ideas of a suitable topic?

Linskibinski · 27/01/2015 13:44

I read most of the thread before it went poof but was not surprised to see how it turned out. I've nc'd I think once in about 5 years. I'm always deeply suspicious of regular name changers. I don't take em on especially when it comes to disablist threads. I hold my head up high for my dcs and won't get into arguing about their entitlements. It's not worth the time and effort teaching stupid how to think. I am above name calling. bloody TWATTY cunty sock puppetry trolls you see above name calling. Wink

Maybe HQ need a new tag or 3.

Thread deleted because of goady fuckers/name changers/troll.

Then list who they were/are.

QueenTilly · 27/01/2015 13:30

The deletion message is unacceptable. It wasn't an innocent thread that went off on a tangent and "became a bunfight". It was a loathsome first post, rooted in smallmindedness and petty jealousy of a disabled child getting transport!

morethanpotatoprints · 27/01/2015 13:28

I do know the thread now, read a third I think and hoped it would be deleted.
What an awful thread to start, especially when the aim was to be goady and disablist so Sad for those of you who are hurt by this.

morethanpotatoprints · 27/01/2015 13:23

I don't know the thread you refer to, but totally agree with the nc it is infuriating.
There are a couple atm who are posting to goad and fuel sah and woh both nc and old members, not new.
You know who you are Grin and MNHQ are on to you as well from what I hear.

TheFairyCaravan · 27/01/2015 13:10

So do I MrsVamos.
