Rules around banning?

Have you reported, buttered?

There is a thread currently that does this site no credit whatsoever, and yet there have been very few deletions. This is despite some very obvious troll hunting and a number of nasty posts to a vulnerable sounding OP.

Even if the OP is a troll, and it is a situation where I would prefer to give the benefit of the doubt, the scenario happens to too many women each day. How can a parenting site condone (and in the absence of deletions you are condoning) attacking an OP in this way?

And I don't know wannabe too well but the other two in particular seem to me to have a real need for the support from mners, more than many others. Hope there's support for them in RL. I see above that pp know wannabe but is anyone in touch with fanjo or Jason in RL?

*trans not trams

I know it's been kicking off a bit here for a while re Mnhq, trams stuff, disablism etc but I haven't really read much and am at a complete loss as to what's been happening here.

But wannabe fanjo and jason all gone?? Wtaf? All fabulous for different reasons - hope they all come back.

MN must just be a reflection of the utter fucking madness of the world this year.

Tell us more teacherbob (am intetested in strong non conventional beliefs!)

Ahh cool. TBH with education there will always be people I rub up the wrong way because I am extremely passionate and have very high standards and expectations. I also have strong beliefs that aren't always conventional :p

Ah yes I was talking about education.

Not sure if I've seen you on the same section that you're referring to as I don't think that gender is particularly an issue over there, so we might be talking at cross purposes.

Erm, I wouldn't say I get a lot of bashing. I would say I get a bashing from a certain few people and they tend to pull me up on my posts nm what the thread is about.
I only really hang in the education bit and it was a bit rough at first, people didn't appear to like new posters, but that has settled down now. Is that the section you were talking about?
I was talking about accidentally posting in the feminism section and telling them they were wrong. It didn't go too well :/

I haven't seen many of your posts TeacherBob but I doubt it's because you're male. I didn't even know you were male. There's quite a few posters who I'm not sure about because their names do not particularly reflect either sex.

Which is far from the case, Bob.

Else any male poster would be found goady, Bob.

Not purely because of your sex, Bob.

Teacher Bob I've seen you getting a bashing on a specific part of the site a couple of times.
TBH I haven't seen eye to eye with some of your posts in that section, but I wouldn't have thought you were being goady.

Ty, I really was trying my best to just explain my view.

Sadly the result now is, I just completely avoid that section now. When threads pop up in trending I read them, and then I always check to see what section they are in, before responding.
I feel I have to do this because there are certain sections that I will get crucified in, purely because of my gender.

I really think that is a shame. Because if there is stuff I need to learn, how will I learn if I am being frightened away from even discussing it. And how can people think they can change the world if they won't even discuss it properly without just shutting people down.

Such is life, I guess

Could someone from MNHQ please explain what you mean when you sign off an e-mail with go well? Is that your polite way of saying fuck off?

The whole thread got deleted, it was 1000 posts long and just disappeared. Was a shame really.

But no, before it got deleted from what I recall it was pretty one-sided. That said, they could have, I don't read back so couldn't really say for sure.
