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?

Why does quoting the rules of the site make *@FlibbertyGiblets* 'head girl'

Confused

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’?

I don't think that poster read the post by MNHQ before jumping in.

No. Multiple accounts by the same person are not allowed.
Unlimited name changes are allowed. You have broken rules hence ban hammer. The end.

Who made you Head Girl?"

Surely just someone who can read rules?

Hi @FlyingHotChocolatr
@FlibbertyGiblets is correct - we don't allow multiple accounts and we'll act to moderate when we see them. We'll always take a close look when a new member starts a thread that gets several reports - hopefully you'll agree that it's a strength of our moderation.

If you (or anyone) has concerns about their account then please get in touch with us and we'll try to help - we can offer namechanges, thread moves etc.

We've been in touch with you and you have now decided to close one of your accounts. Hopefully everything is clear now.

I don’t know but I got deleted yesterday for saying that the OP’s mum was a dirty bitch because she handled the OP’s baby after scrubbing mould without washing her hands and when the OP tried to ask her mum to wash hands, her mum told her it was fine. Seeing as MN doesn’t delete swearing, it seems bizarre to delete a simple statement of fact, that contained a swear word.

It’s incredible the amount of passive aggressive nastiness that is allowed to remain on here whilst stuff that is not a problem is deleted.
