Hi,

I was mid mumsnet browse and I've been logged out and can't get back in? Only thing I can find on search is that I've been banned but have no clue at all why?

Can someone help!

@confusedbadger hopefully you get a answer soon. I looked back at your posts and you’re right none have been deleted so not sure if you have been banned why it is?

Hello @confusedbadger. We'll drop you a mail shortly.

If there were weird things happening with the site and threads being taken down left right and centre is it possible that MN has been hacked?

Certainly doesn’t bode well for a site who are hoping to obtain people’s personal (and bank) details to sell them premium memberships.

I certainly wouldn’t be signing up to a site this insecure.

I've just reported this thread as well, Badger. Hope you get some answers soon.

@BoreOfWhabylon I've done both of those. I'm hoping they will get back to me at some point today 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi @Confusedmamamia and @DinghyCalledDignity no nothing has changed and I haven't heard anything at all.

Interesting that they don't let people know! Seems silly to me. I also would've thought at least a comment would've been removed but they are all still there this morning.

I'm really hoping I hear something soon as it's so frustrating

Hope you've found out. Probably just a glitch but from previous threads, if MNHQ do ban someone they often just do it without telling the person. They just can't log in to that account anymore.

Confusedmamamia · 30/05/2020 10:29

@confusedbadger any luck this morning? My account briefly logged me out but I managed to get back on pretty quickly. Hope you’ve had a response and it’s sorted now

I've just looked on my other thread (which doesn't exist anymore, but I can see it in 'threads I'm on'). The same was happening to other posters. They could not log on and thought they had been banned. MN said it was a hosting issue or something to do with caching (whatever that means).
I couldn't log on for an hour. I can't remember what it said, but when I finally got on, there were only 5 active threads showing.
Very odd.

@ElizabethMainwaring thanks I have taken a look. I really hope it is just a technical issue!

I think it's an error. The site has been having lots and lots of problems. There were multiple threads about it yesterday evening. Sorry, I can't link, but if you look on site issue there is a thread there.
There were so many different threads (one of which I started) that they removed most of them.
I don't think that it's anything personal. Don't worry!

@ElizabethMainwaring as I responded to them pretty much 5 mins after loosing access I don't understand how they can't be online but can potentially ban me?

If it had been the case it had been like that for hours that's fine but not a matter of 5 mins!

It's no use tagging and reporting to MNHQ @confusedbadger
MNHQ don't work at night. You will get a response about 9am tomorrow morning when they start again.

@Confusedmamamia just after 11. I posted not long before that so it must have just happened. If they've just done it which they must of done I'm not sure why they haven't responded to me!

Whilst I appreciate they have lives outside of MN I don't see how they can potentially ban someone without explaining why first!

I'm really hoping someone will come along and explain because it's so confusing

When did you notice it happened?

Original poster
confusedbadger · 30/05/2020 00:14

Thanks @Confusedmamamia I'm presuming now nothing will happen tonight 😢

Such a shit situation! I can't even think what I could've done!

OP posts:
Confusedmamamia · 30/05/2020 00:12

How strange. I thought if you were banned a post would’ve been removed at least! Hopefully it’s just a mistake it can be a life line for sleepless nights.

@MNHQ can you assist here?

Let's hope so!

I've reported the post so hopefully there will be some clarity soon!

Maybe they've got an apprentice on the board tonight and they've pressed the wrong button 🤣

Just been through everything I remember posting on and nothing has been removed or anything so not sure what I've done if I have indeed been banned.

@Soontobe60 I can still see comments I've made on threads. None seem to have been removed or anything.

OP posts:
Soontobe60 · 29/05/2020 23:43

If you want to message me your other username I could have a look?

Soontobe60 · 29/05/2020 23:42

Also, if you report your own post above, you can get a message to MNHQ

@Soontobe60

I can't even get in on my account. No explanation nothing 😫 when I have a little one who won't sleep mumsnet keeps me sane and now I can't even do that on my usual threads.

Has really upset me
