iceandslice - bastards, they've sent a generic txt.

Joolyjoolyjoo · 14/03/2012 23:18

I don't really get where you are coming from, to be honest.

the way I see it, MNHQ are not there to be impartial referees. They are not even really "moderators" as such. They step in whenever anyone breaches their talk guidelines, but I like that they can also join in threads and enjoy the spirit of the place. We are all grown ups here (hopefully) so we don't need to be refereed or to worry about the "teachers" taking sides.

Chipping bastards! What were you going to cook?

YANBU OP

I was just saying this to Justine over Champagne and nibbles last night

Then of course Rebecca and Rowan joined us so we changed the subject

They were all drunk anyway

Spero · 14/03/2012 23:20

Wow. Yes, I see now. That does sound very worrying.

Howzabout we apply for judicial review of the whole set up?or free standing injunction under Human Rights Act?

I don't have a clue what you are worried about.

AnyFucker · 14/03/2012 23:21

power ?

what's with the conspiracy theorising ?

LeBOF · 14/03/2012 23:21

Express away. I take it you have reported someone for something and been told there is nothing amiss? That happens all the time. It's not favouritism: it is just that MNHQ need a very good reason to do much beyond privately ticking someone off. They are not the police. In fact, even if you reported someone to the police who was pissing you off, they don't always take the action you would like. That's life, suck it up. Or set up a forum and make yourself Empress.

takeaway an amazing 7 course meal with a divine cheese course. You?

Portofino · 14/03/2012 23:22

You can express concern about whoever you like. If they breach guidelines, they will be dealt with....(not like I ever a had a stern email or anything and would know)

2shoes · 14/03/2012 23:23

oh I get it now
this thread is basically a veiled PA on a poster.

ChippingInNeedsCoffee · 14/03/2012 23:23

Worra - did you hear about Rowan's sex change?

ParkView · 14/03/2012 23:23

There aren't moderators on MN.

MN is a private company, and they can be sued for things that people type on their boards. So they bloody well should have some control over what is left, and what is deleted.

OldGreyWiffleTest · 14/03/2012 23:23

I'm too old and wiffly for them to even notice I exist.

Anniegetyourgun · 14/03/2012 23:23

So if you wanted to express concern about a poster but didn't because HQ seemed (to you) to be friendly with them, I would be inclined to suggest the problem is in fact in your head rather than in the way MN actually operates.

Twit · 14/03/2012 23:23

Ah so you want to report some-one and think them upstairs won't take it seriously because they have fraternised?
Or are you after attention?

Am I missing something? Yes it's called A Grip

boglach · 14/03/2012 23:23

Well all that shit about moldies and mumsnet royalty got me thinking, is mumsnet just like life? A hierarchy where the boldest cunts stand at the top and trample on the vulnerable below?
