@MNHQ

Please can you clarify?

As Spartacus says, the issue was about quoting passages containing prohibited terms. As far as I know, there's no issue just with linking to such material.

Oh come on

This is bonkers. Are MNHQ going to start deleting posts that link to pictures of TW's cock? Someone might find that offensive. Or "triggering".

So if I link to a BBC news story that uses terms that are outside MNHQ guidance, they'll delete it? Seriously?

That news deserves an official eye roll....

Wow.

Just found out they will delete posts or threads that link to blogs or news items that do not use the MNHQ approved terms to refer to they who must not be named.

One life left but prolly not for long as have begun commenting again.

Yep, compromise, and more compromise and yet more compromise. But it's all our fault in the end anyway

it is like being in an abusive relationship. first this is wrong, then you try to avoid this but now that is wrong as well, so you try to avoid that as well and then something else is wrong. all to keep you from being able to speak or act or do anything.

a coercive control technique

Exactly that.

Anyway, glad to see you all survived the match!

So that means no-one can link to the more batshit TRA bollocks that might use the word TERF as well as anything gender critical that might use TiM or refer to a penis.

That'll restrict what we find out about just a tad, won't it?

MNHQ have altered the search function. You won't find any of your deleted posts show up at all in search any more. It's like they never existed.

This is really annoying. Given the frequent deletions that go on, it would be good to at least know about (even before this strike system)

The lisa Muggeridge thread has been pulled. Unless I have misunderstood, this extends the new guidance: i understood from the message from HQ just before the thread was pulled that it was being taken down because OP had linked to something outwith the guidance.

(The link was to a non-MN hosted Lisa Muggeridge blog which ‘misgendered’ a person’). But OP didn’t quote this or use any non-preferred pronouns in their actual OP that started that thread.

I am confused now about the rules. I have posted on the site stuff thread which I had missed previously:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/3277316-Mumsnet-moderation-of-trans-rights-and-gender-critical-issues-II

I feel really worried now, if MN new guidance needs to extend to cover the content of what we link to or a whole thread will be zapped. Hoping I have got the wrong end of the stick somehow?

A few are on two strikes. Bewilderness and a couple others have been targeted.

I have only just realised why you are all signing into the register. Have many people actually been banned?

When people refer to "the other place" don't they normally mean the House of Lords?

Or the House of Commons, if they happen to be in the Lords.

Any one who is in the other place can see all the emails I've received as I've posted them all. I can't say here why I got strikes, I have there - vocally!

I'm pretty sure Sweary would have got a red card for that one tbh

I seem to have avoided deletion so far.... I was fairly careful about the new guidelines on the assumption that in the context of a humorous thread some leeway was allowed - but tbh it's all still a bit mysterious about where the line is.

It seems you can say some pretty nasty stuff about people in the public eye (not in humour) and it's ok, but doing the same to a trans activist (even when it's obviously a piss take) is a no go???

To be fair the the Mods I guess they are adjusting to the new rules as well and having to assess a lot of posts that fall in a grey area.

I really just hope they are as busy with the vexatious reporting as that's a side we don't see.

It feels a bit awful to say but it feels a bit like having to test the boundaries to see where they really lie atm.

The problem there is you can end up with 3 strikes before you know it based on the feedback time.

Hey ho, well I'll keep posting and see where it leads.

SwearyG, if you don't get an email it may not be a strikeable offence - see my earlier post

Kettlepotblackagain

It's not your fault I wasn't aware that optical. Illusions were against guidelines!

I have also appealed my 2 deletions, on Friday, still no answer from @mnhq though. Seems my email is being ignored or lost in the post......

Still no email telling me what guidelines I broke with the photo either.

No email but I did get deleted. Think that’s one strike.

No, no cane for this thread - yet! I have appealed my second strike so we'll see.

Amalfimamma - the pic you posted in response to my post about 'cheerleader shadows' got deleted?

Oh no I'm sorry, I'm partly responsible

It was fucking funny though
