MNHQ: Please take another look at the posters who have been suspended

Hi MNHQ

I'm asking you, please, to take another look at recent bannings and suspensions, in particular those which occurred on a webchat without warning or communication, and especially those which did not breach talk guidelines, and were served on posters without strikes, or not at strike limits.

We have seen the recently added 'rule 3' which pertains specifically to webchats. However I don't think posters are aware that this may result in an immediate and permanent ban, nor does the rule seem to imply that.

I don't know if you have a review process to ensure that all bannings and suspensions are sound, but I'm hoping you do.

I'm respectfully requesting, in the interests of fairness, trust and respect between the moderation team and the posters here, that you take another look and see if there are any decisions which can be reconsidered.

I'm not naming posters specifically, because I think it may be counterproductive.

I hope you'll consider this request to take another look.

Thanks.

Adding my support.

BoreOfWhabylon · 17/09/2018 14:03

I also support Barracker’s post.

@MNHQ please reconsider these recent decisions.

Banned word there mate.

All the more proof we need all the reasoned voices we can - trolls are attacking Mumsnet all the time.

Adding my voice too

DereksSexyPyjamas · 17/09/2018 13:59

Hear, hear. This is all very worrying

MnerXX · 17/09/2018 13:58

Please MNHQ. Rule 3 was introduced after people were banned for posting on that thread. We have lost good posters who were trying to stay within the guidelines but that is tricky to do so if the goalposts move without warning. Please reconsider these bannings.

We know you are treading a tightrope but FWR brings very high numbers of readers to MN, and some of those who we have lost were a fundamental part of the threads which are so desperately needed at the moment if we are to continue to call out safeguarding failures and ask that those who seek to represent us, do so honestly and appropriately.

KittyKlawsReturns · 17/09/2018 13:57

I fully agree with and support Barracker's post.

I don't want to derail but what happened to the Paris thread

Too much speculation about whether Paris has a dick. Deleted.

Deleted for discussing an individuals genitalia Green.

boldlygoingsomewhere · 17/09/2018 13:53

I agree. I wondered why some voices had gone silent and am missing their insightful contributions.

Terfnserf · 17/09/2018 13:51

Me too please, this is the only place we can still debate

Live webchat guidelines

Rule 3. When there are already a number of questions on a single topic, MNHQ will usually ask for people to stop repeating the same question or point. Please follow their instructions to avoid deletion and possible suspension. Rest assured we will ALWAYS let the guest know that it's an area of concern to multiple users and will encourage them to engage with those questions (we learned that lesson with Gordon Brown and his biscuits).
