Rules around banning?

338 replies

Feeling a little nervous after the recent thread that went 'poof' and reports of people being banned and not knowing why/not having any deleted posts beforehand.

Is there a three strike rule? No strikes?

Yes TrippyMcTrapFace that's what I'm after.

And yes, this is a taat, but honestly, it seems that the ' freedom of speech' much lauded recently is sadly lacking at the moment.

It wpuld be appreciated if we could have clearly defined rules regarding what is bannable. The problem with not having anything is that it can seem that who and what is banned/ removed is simply down to random decisions being taken by MNHQ.

I dont want to be banned. I like it here and am usully well behaved, but there does seem to have been a lot of strange goings on recently regarding what is allowed to remain (gf's especially), and what is removed.

Ah I shall settle in for a long wait then, cheers for the Horlicks!

There has to be some sort of mn laws about it though surely?

I can't imagine them sitting there cackling as they give a random poster the red button treatment for posting about knitting Grin

I'd like to know a bit more about this too. Not any details of specific posters/threads etc but general guidelines as to what gets you banned or rather, how to avoid it.
A 'simply follow Talk Guidelines ' response wouldn't really clarify it for me. Confused

Poster couldn't access account and neither could somebody else. Neither were sent an email or given any reason as to why they had been banned.

The MN naughty step must be getting a bit crowded.

Oh dear Confused

No strikes

You just can't log in again. Done

And when you email them, it takes a while to get a reply

Been there done that

Toooldtobearsed · 13/11/2016 21:56

Really?!?

I stuck it my watch list to post on later and it has gone!

What was the reason please?

DigestiveMuncher · 13/11/2016 21:56

I'm also questioning this! I literally just read the post you are on about clicked watch because I wanted to see if MNHQ commented & then I refreshed my watch page & it had gone HmmConfused
