Why so much hate on MN?

Oh this was most definitely meant for me to see. Thanks anyway 👍

Using someone's user name is clearer than referring to them as pp, as they could be anyone.

So there is that too.

I don't know, I only tag people when addressing them

I have seen people doing it without tagging too, maybe in the hope it isn't spotted?

I understand personal attacks and take great care not to make them. What I don't understand is why it's acceptable to drag somebody's username into making a point when the referred person hasn't contributed to the discussion. That, in my eyes, is a personal attack. However, the mods deem otherwise so I will accept that.

If you sneery point was a personal attack, you would most likely be deleted.

Well I've learned that you can quote a poster in a derogatory way, who's not part of a conversation and it's not seen as a personal attack. So I can be posting away with somebody and choose to randomly quote another poster on MN to make a sneery point. Interesting.

I have heard it referred to as mumsnet royalty. No idea if it's true though..it can feel that way though.
I used to report things thats were extremely nasty and personal and never got removed. That was a long time ago though it does seem a bit better compared to what it was.

Now.and then something would get removed. But on the other hand with some nastiness towards me I sometimes wasn't sure weather to report because it could get removed but I have already seen it so the hurt has already been caused and it gets removed and the person has what they said covered up by the removal of the post. I did often just leave it so others could see the nastiness. It felt logic at the time but probably wasn't really. Possibly made it worse because others would join in.

Just in general terms it isn't always a case of different opinions there is some real nastiness on here.

Whats a bit gutting for me is i used to get a bad time from people for how i delt with things. Now i have seen several threads with people being advised to do exactly what I was doing.

Anyway just from my point of view and my own experience.

To be clear, I'm not saying that I think MNHQ does consider premium membership status when making moderation decisions. I have no evidence that either substantiates or disproves that suggestion.

I merely observed that this was not a possibility that I had even considered previously when trying to understand the very inconsistent nature of their approach to moderation.

I won't be hounded off. I'm just ignoring silliness x

I never imagined you were that Fox. He wouldn't make money by posting here so probably wouldn't be interested.

My username was generated randomly by MN. No I'm not laurence fox. There are some failed Colombos 😆 🤣

Nobody is rounding on someone, it was just an observation.

Some posters agreed, others disagreed.

I think it’s just rounding on someone for no reason. It’s obviously not true.

@LuckyHazelFoxhang in there!

Blimey, some people believe MN pulls rank favouritism - in the form of deciding whether to delete posts flagged as possible hate or not - for the sake of a fiver a month ?! Really??

Why would they choose to spite people who don’t pay for premium in the form of deliberately not bowing to their assessment of what constitutes hate?

Fwiw, I don’t pay for premium and I don’t remember any times where I’ve
reported hate and it’s been ignored. I don’t report everything I see mind you - often the misogynistic hate from TRAs posting on the FWR boards is really useful to leave standing, so casual observers can see it and make up their own minds. MN are still making money off me from all the ads - and given how much the site is stuffed with them now, I wouldn’t be surprised if they earn more than a fiver from what I view per month anyway.

It’s within the guidelines.

I didn't know that

Advanced Search is free to use still.

AS is free?

I've reported a post. Will see if that's deleted. Tagging posters in a shitty when they're not even part of a convo isn't in the spirit.

I’m sure you have mnhq in your pocket entirely with that ;

See if they’ll update on here.

Do you mean the post from yesterday 21:48? I saw it and was replying to it when it was deleted.

2.99 I pay. Other people talk about using the AS facility so they must be premium as well.

I am more concerned about new names starting controversial threads in AIBU, Chat or Politics and then disappearing again.

Perhaps they can clarify on this thread as some really do seem to think it’s the case.

I have seen Fox being deleted plenty of times, i don't think there is two tier moderation either.
