How does Mumsnet decide who is and isn’t a troll?

I set up a new account because I want to stop using this one (too many outing threads that DH may come across), started a new thread this morning, and within an hour my thread was deleted and I have been banned, with no communication. Surely you would see that the IP address is of a well used account, so why ban without communicating? What do you actually investigate? Do you just decide that if there is a new thread by a new user that quickly becomes popular, it must be a troll and they must be removed?

Actually challenging peoples right to post isn’t allowed. If you feel someone is breaking the rules you report them, flibberty did nothing wrong,
Why isn’t it allowed? Show me the rule that says it isn’t.

Are you really sure you're sorry @FlibbertyGiblets? Wink

This is mad. The poster answered the question, it’s allowed, Confused
A different opinion is also allowed.

@HeartsAndClubs

But you read the thread no?

A thread which was addressed to MN HQ? Therefore, you clearly read it when actually you should have just left it alone as you already knew it didn’t concern you. So why again was it you clicked and then posted on this thread?

Reading it is very different to taking it upon yourself to answer it. I can’t believe you’re struggling to understand that.
Sparklingbrook · 21/11/2021 22:16

A question had been asked. @FlibbertyGiblets answered it but was then told they were not allowed to as only MNHQ were allowed to. I think that's it anyway.

@HeartsAndClubs

It’s just a bit pretentious. When a question is addressed to MNHQ, why not let them provide the answer? Why make a judgemental post about ‘the rules’? and your reason for jumping in to post here would be????
The difference is that I shared an opinion - I didn’t answer a question that I hadn’t been asked. No ‘irony’.

@DramaAlpaca

I don't think that poster read the post by MNHQ before jumping in.
I did - and I didn’t ‘jump in’. @FlibbertyGiblets did that.
