Mods discussing moderation with previously banned poster about getting current posters banned

@mumsnethq

I understand policy is not to discuss the banning of individual posters.

However a PBP is claiming they have been in discussion with two mods for two weeks which has led to the banning of a longstanding poster.

Can you confirm if it is policy to enter into discussion with banned posters about the moderation of other people's posts?

Given that the individual in question has an entire drawer's worth of socks my question is whether or not MNHQ would necessarily know that they were speaking to that person.

I'd also like to ask if MNHQ would consider changing the report rule so non-members can't abuse it as they currently are?

Hi Michael

I'm deeply relieved to see your post, since I came here to ask urgently if HQ are interacting with the obviously very unwell individual claiming so all over Twitter, which would equally obviously be an extremely dodgy use of membership information and potentially a breach of the GDP. Not to mention the need for members to be made clearly aware by MN that an offline group whose ethics and morals can be summarised by the screenshotted tweets on MN this morning, is tracking members on this site and organising campaigns in which moderators are used as tools and interacted with as part of attacking selected members. Because many members may feel this is a highly threatening situation they want absolutely no part of.

Can I ask please what HQ plan to do about the allegations of this behaviour being made by this individual? And to ensure that their moderation team and members are not part of some rather disturbing personal game being played by this individual? And that membership are fully aware of how HQ may use their information on members who trust MN and post here, and whether HQ will talk about them with anyone except other moderators?

This seems really rather serious, I hope I'm misunderstanding the situation.

Thanks for that.

So JP is a liar? Who'd have thunk?

Hi all. we're happy to confirm that we certainly don't discuss moderation decisions with anyone outside Mumsnet - especially not previously banned posters.

I really hope that’s not true - how does a PFP have that sort of power?!

WeHaveSnowdrops · 22/01/2020 07:51

If Joss Prior is lying MN need to say so.

exLtEveDallas · 22/01/2020 07:47

Preferably from @HebeMNHQ as she seems to be the one that has spoken most to Josh

exLtEveDallas · 22/01/2020 07:43

Joss Prior is a fantasist. But I would like a clear answer from MNHQ as well. It’s not a good look.
