Why aren’t you banning the far-right agitators?

Deleting their posts but allowing them to keep inciting racial hatred under the same accounts is making the site unusable. Why should we keep reporting them if you’re not going to do anything meaningful about it?

For the pathetic apologists here and elsewhere on this site.

There is no dressing this up as 'concerns about immigration' or bullshit about 'the silent majority are not being listened to'. There has just been a fucking general election.

Want an avoidance of doubt? There are two pogroms today. One is ongoing in Tamworth. There are checkpoints in Middlesbrough letting only white drivers through. There are brown and black people being kicked in the head. There are places of workship being targeted, arson, swastikas daubed on walls.

Then its sympathisers are wanting a reasoned 'debate' about immigration concerns? That noise can get to fuck.

What we are experiencing is a resurgence of unmitigated Nazism.

Well said.

Oh, I just report them all to MN, thanks, and they get deleted eventually. I'm not in need of your assistance, but thanks for offering.

i just come back to this thread every now and again when I'm tired of the far right crew and need some respite amongst likeminded people.

I just thought you seemed a bit lost and confused because of the nature of your posts but you're welcome to join us. Smile

No, that isn't what this thread is about.

This thread is in site stuff and it is primarily about how MN is responding to a large influx of far right agitators. There are plenty of other threads where you can talk about violence and riots.

Are you lost?

This thread is about MN's approach to moderating far right posts and dealing with far right posters.

EL doesn't like being taken to account, he replies

Fuck off and keep your beak out of UK business Elon Angry

BIWI · 05/08/2024 22:29

JFC. That's exactly the same 'all lives matter' or 'white lives matter' kind of response, isn't it?

Well said - not that the troll-in-chief will worry just hope he co-operates with investigation of the massive online data-base of twitter

''Downing Street has criticised comments by Elon Musk who posted on X that “civil war is inevitable” under a video of violent riots in Liverpool.

Keir Starmer’s spokesperson said the violence came from a small minority of people who “do not speak for Britain” and said the prime minister did not share the sentiments of the billionaire, who has previously been criticised for allowing far-right figures back on to his social media platform.

“There’s no justification for comments like that,” the spokesperson said. “What we’ve seen in this country is organised, violent thuggery that has no place, either on our streets or online''

When is a sieg heil not a sieg heil? When he might be ill, or just putting his arm up in the air. You had to be there!

If people can excuse that, sadly they will have no problem in thinking Nigel F a fine chap who truly reflects English values (I'm not going to insult our neighbour nations by association)

ETA Ill in some v unspecified mental or physical way. At a race riot.

He is actually the very epitome of "the elite". Enough money to make it pretty easy for him to get round laws. Can't stand him.“

As is Farage. How on earth do they manage to pull in so much support? are people really so blood gullible (answers herself: yes)

Perhaps they've been influenced by Chief Troll Elon Musk's twitter prognostications of civil war in the UK?

Frightening that one man can have such power and be such a twat

Today's theme seems to be increasingly doom laden predictions about "it will get worse" or even civil war.

I think it’ll start to fizzle now. The question is how to prevent a repeat.

I think MNHQ is probably doing its best in difficult circumstances.

I was really shocked about one of their moderation decisions on a post that I had reported, as it was very obviously racist but initially left to stand - I was encouraged in the response from MNHQ to challenge it on the thread (which I had of course already done).

I queried the decision, setting out why I thought it needed to go. They looked at it again and subsequently agreed that it should be taken down. I imagine that there are so many posts that need zapping at the moment, it must be difficult to stay on top of them all.

GoldMedallist · 05/08/2024 11:07

I should probably retract what I said about MMHQ’s lack of willingness to tackle this after a couple of emails from them acknowledging that certain posters are not genuine and inflammatory threads are getting zapped.

GoldMedallist · 05/08/2024 10:37

Yes and ‘this is like the Holocaust, when should I flee’.

We can see it, everyone can. MNHQ are simply not willing to do anything about these posters fanning the flames.

It’s not as if it will kill me to find some other way to waste my time. I have a social conscience but I didn’t cause this and I can’t cure it. I might check back in a week or so to see if there’s any improvement. Thanks to everyone who is willing to keep reporting and either ignoring or challenging the shit stirrers though.

I see there are more this morning. Wide-eyed ‘can someone please explain to me about xyz’ posts designed to whip up racist and anti-immigration sentiment.

VerySadCase · 05/08/2024 01:38

I'm wondering if we ought to start reporting them to the police ourselves where they have crossed a line from being offensive to actually being illegal? As well as reporting to MNHQ?

I'm glad that MNHQ zaps posts, but I would like to know if they would pass on deleted posts to the police where appropriate.
