I have reported so manŷ of my posts with a comment along the lines of"so you see this" - but we are being ignored.

Why?

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 10:59

I am not going to answer that comment on that thread.

HQ. Why aren't you coming to answer us?

Mozfan1 · 19/10/2016 10:58

According to someone on the other thread, Rebecca's comment covered everything. Well fuck them. I'm spitting feathers.

Good. Hopefully I can address them directly then ~waves to Auser's contact~
This isn't the first time we've tried to address these issues. We've had several threads already hijacked and derailed so they were deleted and we were effectively silenced.

Personally I've been here a decade and over that time some of the attitudes to disability have been horrendous and have included pro eugenics stances. Things that wouldn't ever be acceptable have been allowed to stand and HQ have 'dropped the ball' that often I'd suggest assessment for DCD!

Our children / Loved ones and ourselves ARE HUMAN!
We should be treated as such!

I'm still seething at the bullying that went on ion the last thread why was it allowed to get into that state?

Why were 6 posters allowed to gang up on one person and make threads about them?

Why did it take so long for HQ to take action when Olivia was posting on the thread at the time seeing it happen?

the two posters who both needed support were left until the next day, then there is likely to be a whole lot of things which breach the equality act left unsorted in a very disgusting manner.

HQ should be ashamed of themselves over this, completely ashamed, I'm fucking disgusted to be assosiated with the site!
Two poster who needed support were left all night to kick each other, one had a team for disgusting minions shit string and the other was presumably banned.

And then to cover their own arses they deleted a thread full of disablism!

You've messed up massively HQ and because of this i will no longer be a member of this website.

And I can't even express how out of fucking order Rebeccas post was. "yes we see the disablism" "no we are not going to do anything about it". Angry

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 10:54

It's nearly 11am. I have been reporting and reporting to try to get an answer. The lack of response from HQ is shocking

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 10:52

Done BBA.

Give them this thread too so they can see there are several of us feeling this way

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 10:48

Shrug. Apparently I'm just looking for a fight.

Mozfan1 · 19/10/2016 10:48

*AuserI I'm fuming on your behalf

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 10:46

Apparently I'm just looking for a fight.

I spoke briefly to someone by online chat at the equality advisory and support service and they asked that I email them a link to the thread for them to take a look at. I have done that so I will wait and see what they say.

I expect to be banned from here for doing that so if I go you'll know what has happened.

CandyMcJingles · 19/10/2016 10:44

No way!'that would be a personal attack though.

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 10:39

I've now been accuse on that thread of having "serious issues"

Mozfan1 · 19/10/2016 10:38

I will support in whatever way I can also

CandyMcJingles · 19/10/2016 10:34

Auser if you know how to do that and it doesn't impact too much on your resources than I would support you in doing that. Happy to add my name if you want to pm me.

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 10:29

Done candy :)

I'm tempted to send it to the equality and human rights commission. Seriously HQ. Indirect discrimination is a thing. You know. An actual thing the law protects against and your official stance as per Rebecca's post is not recognising that.

thedisturbed · 19/10/2016 10:27

i have taken a few days of mn. came back to lurk yesterday and OMG was shocked.
so yet again someone NC and starts a thread, it offends and they get support from MNHQ
the post from MN HQ was a green light for disablism.
i am very tempted to copy and paste it and out it on all there lets do a campaign for the disabled threads

CandyMcJingles · 19/10/2016 10:26

Cross posted! Grin

CandyMcJingles · 19/10/2016 10:26

^does that help?

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 10:26

I can do that now candy :)

CandyMcJingles · 19/10/2016 10:25

Irony post

Burnt post? Auticorrect you are having a larf

Ausernotanumber · 19/10/2016 10:25

CandyMcJingles · 19/10/2016 10:24

Auser I'm not brilliant with doing thread links - have you put the burnt post on the guest post thread?
