Goading and group pile ons

@cardibach I also AI’d myself

How is it bullying? She neither mentioned which poster nor what it said - just that it was somewhat accurate in her opinion.

Why on earth would you use her information to search someone else’s name and then broadcast what you did here?
you are using ai in a bullying manner.

For some reason that mnhq links to a long running thread so here it is

Hi all. Due to the volume of reports we're receiving about this and similar threads, we feel the need to step in.

We know political threads can be passionate, and people are allowed to disagree sometimes very strongly, but we need everyone to keep that disagreement about the issue, rather than turning it into something personal.

Some of the behaviour we've seen on these threads is pretty unpleasant and can feel like rounding on people because their views don't align. With this in mind, and for the sake of civil discussion on polarised topics, please don’t tag someone merely to make a point about how often they post, when they joined Mumsnet or what you assume their motives are. Don’t comb through someone’s posting history, speculate about their identity or activity elsewhere, or use AI to analyse their posts. And please don’t keep pressing someone to reply, or treat a lack of response as proof that they have no answer.

If you think a post breaks Talk guidelines, report it and let us look at it. Personal attacks, troll-hunting, goading and attempts to turn a thread against one person aren’t okay whatever the topic.

We will take action where posts cross the line, and we may take further action where we see a repeated pattern of targeting or provoking other users.
Please help us keep these threads lively and challenging without making them hostile.

How is it an invasion of Privacy? It is looking at information posted on a public forum.

@jeffgoldblum why are you replying to me then? Who have I piled on by testing out what @BIWI said. I had no idea it was a thing!

@LuckyHazelFoxThey don’t usually respond to emails unless you’re replying to an email from them - so give that a go.

Yes exactly, I've called a certain group of posters out on here before about bullying and piling on to one poster. Have been on the receiving end myself a couple of times in the past.

@lifeturnsonadimeyes, that would defo make me change my name more regularly

No why would I? , I already know who I am !

Bear in mind that the stuff it produces is based on what you've posted - it doesn't make things up. And everything that anyone posts on Mumsnet is out in the wide world for anyone to see anyway ...

I don't think the pile ons are nearly as bad as they were a few years ago. However, it does annoy me when folk say oh you must be thick if you think that or you must have a sad life if you think this.

that's fascinating!

Mumsnet moderators can often target any outlier on a thread, even when they’ve been perfectly polite about it. I’ve been that outlier more than once and simply said that I politely disagree, here’s why etc, only to get a million posters pile onto me with abuse - to which I don’t respond at all, then the next morning I get a ‘Mumsnet Calling…’ email, warning me about my posts not being “in the spirit of Mumsnet” 🤷🏼‍♀️

It really does depend who the moderator is tbh. Some of them are great and zap any posts which are in breach of the MN talk guidelines. However some of the others genuinely don’t see any problem with ableism (and I mean any problem with it at all…) and seem to think if you disagree with the majority on a thread, that this makes you ‘inflammatory’. It’s the luck of the draw.

Have you AI’d yourself? 😆

Do you mean this thread is at the top of Active and attracting lots of attention/replies?

I think LHF has already done that. See her reply to Becky.

Talk about proving the ops point!

What do you mean? I hope you aren't implying our responses were co-ordinated. We all posted within a minute. If we were co-ordinating we'd be pretty damn stupid to do that.

Op you don’t need to explain it here, you will just get more posts against. Send what you have to mnhq, they’ll take it up.

If you don’t break the posting guidelines you will. MN won’t delete or ban if you haven’t done anything against the rules. nobody can make you do that. It’s entirely in your hands.

It’s in your hands. I think you need to toughen up a bit. You need a thick skin on the political threads.

There is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't get the chance? You are in control of whether or not you post within TG.
