I've been a long time poster on Mumsnet, but recently in the last couple of months I feel like I can't say anything anymore. If I attempt to say anything that isn't in lockstep with gender ideology, my account seems to get removed. Can anyone please help me with a code to Ovarit?

I really don't want to leave Mumsnet as I’ve developed a very strong connection to this website, but I feel like me and my views are no longer in line with Mumsnet’s HQs thinking and it's progress too far in the wrong direction. I’ve met some beautiful and wonderful women in my time here, and it’s a shame that I feel like I’m being made to leave.

Farewell, and thank you all for the wonderful memories, and to all of my friends.

I have been browsing Ovarit for the last while, didn't realise you needed to be invited to join. Is that to stop the TRAs infiltrating?

And as far as moderation here goes, I was fully banned a few weeks ago for using the three letter acronym, even though I hid it in innocuous words. I didn't even give any opinion about whether it was right or wrong, good or bad. The fact that I mentioned these three letters in the same sentence (albeit I bolded them for effect) got me banned. So we're not even supposed to mention something that we know exists. What a load of shit.

Maybe try an incel support group @GreyCouncil? Don't forget your box of tissues.

That was to fresh newly minted poster names merseygirl and clock by the way. Not OP or ladorerain.

Helleofabore · 26/08/2022 09:05

And another live demonstration.

What is your point, by the way?

That people shouldn’t report users they find suspicious? Yet, that is exactly what MNHQ want us to do rather than engage in toll hunting.

A regular on FWR knows this. They will have either been deleted and reprimanded by email for troll hunting or seen the posts discussing those deletions.

Maybe you go to a different school.

Funny how easy it is for us who are socialised to be kind get sucked in! This a a demo how ‘be kind’ let us give our rights away in the first place.

looks like ovarit needs to be braced for incoming! I

And done! Thank you for making it so easy.

Aren't you simply demonstrating the poster's point by reporting?

Doyoumind · 26/08/2022 08:38

I don't think the mods have got stricter. The period when they were strict stripped us of the most interesting posters and discussions. Then they changed the board. Now things are much quieter and less engaging.

Did I read correctly that snark was not allowed for a time yesterday? I wondered if it is just a cultural difference that my snark doesn’t get understood and I need to up my game….

Iadorerain · 26/08/2022 08:33

Also I haven’t noticed the mods getting stricter. I wonder what sort of person would like to anonymously get codes for another forum? Disruptive influence perhaps

Please Catan on mumsnet, this is a really important forum for bringing issues to the wider population. This is how I became aware of the problems with trans activists erasing women’s rights . And safeguarding issues. The moderating has kept the conversations civil and readable. I understand now why it’s quite severe. But it’s woman friendly unlike Twitter which is horrible.
please keep posting on mums net, this is the source of the sunlight we need.

As an aside, 4chan isn't particularly GC.

They were probably thinking of Kiwi Farms.

Doyoumind · 26/08/2022 08:20

OP has no posting history and refers to 'Mumsnet' several times which I doubt any long term user would. If their account had been removed, which I doubt, they would be a PBP. There's been a rise in visitors and in gullible MNers.

To those who asked why the OP’s message raised my hackles and made me wonder if this was an infiltration attempt (and with apologies to the OP if they are genuine): a number of phrases used are not standard MN language or shorthand, so it sounds to me like someone who is claiming a long posting history without evidence of it in their language. Am not going to list specifics for obvious reasons!

It is instinctive to make those assessments, isn’t it? Over time you start seeing a pattern that makes you take notice.

I believe it is meant to be a reference to extremist views that greycouncil who is also a brand new username, so potentially a name changer, is making.

It seems in line with their other posts I have noticed over the past day or two.

It feels like things are changing on Twitter and in the real world but Mumsnet is going in the opposite direction in terms of rules and modding and it just doesn’t reflect reality.

I agree with this, it feels like a very odd policy decision. I wonder what's behind it?

Can I ask in what way?

Twitter seems to be having a resurgence in suspending and banning again. It seems to be as it ever was. Has it improved much? Or is it that some accounts on twitter get away with misgendering now? I wonder if that will remain so for long.

I honestly haven’t noticed modding here changing for the worse in the past six months.

DarkDayforMN · 26/08/2022 08:08

I will send some codes later on but could I ask anyone who doesn’t have much posting history who wants one to PM me with more info?

Why?

are you lonely over there and need company?

Helleofabore · 26/08/2022 08:05

I think some of this is because we’ve had more ‘visitors’ than usual recently so some of their posts have been deleted.

yes. There has been plenty of posters with absolutely no history posting posts that are obvious and those are deleted. Report any brand new user name that seems troll like and let MNHQ decide. (Ie. No troll hunting).

I actually don’t think that modding has been stricter than usual though. Since a couple of court cases have gone through, we have more freedom than years past I feel. But I get it. It takes effort to pretzel your words.

It is obviously a poster’s choice to remain and post within the guidelines but it is very possible to post ‘meaningfully’ and not get deleted, if you know what I mean.
