Can you block an abusive poster?

LilyPAnderson · 2022-10-02T11:27:35+00:00

Is there a way to block people on mumsnet? A person started swearing at me for my honest opinions and experience of a medical condition while growing up, and they have no intelligent other conversation either. Just dumb swear words. I'm worried they might stalk me on other threads. If I can't block them then don't think I will bother posting for a while, but then that's probably what they're trying to do, to bully me off here.

Blimey.

@LilyPAnderson I know it's hard but people are allowed to challenge your views on a forum. You have challenged theirs.

Pixiedust1234 · 02/10/2022 13:30

OP. Just report the posts and let the moderators deal with it. They decide on what is and isn't allowed here,

CrossStichQueen · 02/10/2022 13:29

I just looked back and OP said "drummed in to them"

Which in my view is worse than the word trained.

Hi OP - you can't block people on Mumsnet but you can report posts to us. To put things in perspective, all we can see is that some posters disagreed with you on a thread, as is the way of things on any large forum with lots of varying opinions. We can't see any evidence that any poster is stalking you on the boards - if we did, then of course we'd take action.

We're going to close this thread now as it's unlikely to go well.

OP said something along the lines that ASD children should be "trained" to behave in a socially acceptable way.
It was this sort of training that DS had to go through at school that caused him to have severe breakdowns once he got home as after 6 hours of being forced to pretend he was mentally and physically drained.

I hope op is a troll and doesn't actually believe that's a good idea.

What. The. Fuck.

Can anyone tell me what thread this is on?

Wouldn't surprise me, as you obviously have nothing better to do than follow people on mumsnet to annoy them and report their posts on other topics that have nothing to do with you. You're obviously the one with the problem.

😆😆😆 That’s hilarious.

There's no way it's just a coincidence that loads of people at once would join in a short time reporting my honest posts, so seems like mumsnet has a few psycho groups who gang up and bully people.

I think they are reporting the one where you insulted a poster. That is a personal attack and not allowed.

DismantledKing · 02/10/2022 13:21

Wow.
what a very short fuse.

victoriacrosshairs · 02/10/2022 13:20

What did you say about ASD?

We're reporting you for being nasty to other posters - the exact same reason we encouraged people to report those being nasty to you.

Sorry I saw that thread earlier and you were not sworn at. That poster swore to express their shock at what you said regarding children with ASD.
You should step away from the thread if you are upset my it.

TabithaTittlemouse · 02/10/2022 13:14

😂 oh dear op. I’m not the poster from the other thread. I was trying to point out that they had not made a personal attack against you. Are you going to suspect everyone? That’s going to get exhausting for you!

roundtable · 02/10/2022 13:12

Well that saves us having to advance search...

No idea if there is a right or wrong to your situation op as I haven't read the threads but as previously said, report and ignore but that ship seems to have sailed.

They weren’t swearing at you, they swore to express shock at your post regarding asd.

You decided that they were making a personal attack and that they would stalk you. You are being quite paranoid.

Your reaction is a bit OTT.
