in thinking that just because you have been on mn for ever

[Samcro]

that doesn't make you a bad person.
MN for as long as I have been on here has had a oldie v newbie thing going
who really cares. some people post a lot, some don't.
but if you do post a lot (cos like me you might be stuck in a shite carer role) and you make "friends" with people on mn....you get slated.
all this royalty/oldie stuff is a yawn feast.... but in the 10 years I have been one here.....it still goes on.
isn't it time we all moved on?

Liac I could list about two dozen threads where I was bullied and received lots of PAs from certain posters. Some threads were deleted most weren't. But I won't because it would immediately out me.

You often make me smile when I read your posts Sparkling

Helen, couldn't you have contacted bumbley off the board?
Is a PA a personal attack?

I'm glad it not just me that thought that Tough, I'm a bit shocked by it tbh.

Helen.

Help and old confused dragon out here. If you deleted a thread for bullying and stated that you'd deal with the perpetrators as par for the course?

Bumbley. I don't do hints and vagaries. Sorry, I'm still non the wiser.

You may have misread the thread.

I was most annoyed to find multiple deletions of my posts and another members posts deleted for breaking talk guidelines.

I got a lovely email from her in charge very kindly explaining why I had been mixed. Clarifying I had not actually breached talk guidelines at all.

The important thing is I know I wasn't, MNHQ know I wasn't. You could read the thread and think I might have been, but the fact I'm still here indicates I obviously wasn't ban hammered, sin binned or even mildly eyebrowed.

*nixed

Lilac, I have reported within the last 6 months - I just haven't emailed MNHQ about anything.

Also, I haven't said there are 'bullies everywhere'. I said upthread that there are only a few people who act like that. I'm not sure why you have a problem with me disagreeing with you. I happen to have seen/experienced bullying (as others on this thread have done) so of course we will agree that it happens if someone mentions it on a thread.
I'm not sure how we're supposed to know from the outset if someone is a PBP or trying to stir up trouble. I think I posted once or twice near the start of that weekend thread and didn't see it kick off.

I'm the one who'said taken issue with Bumbley.

I fail to see how that's a 'pile-on'.

And I've been perfectly civil to her.

Huh? I'm not piling I'm confused

I think MNHQ have the right to reply if it's been strongly insinuated they are allowing bullying to go on .... They've only asked for procate correspondence.

I gather from this thread that Bumbleys mentioned it on board a lot. Now it can be dealt with.

Ffs I want my old phone back. I'd trained the autocorrect

I did a SIOB, but you know what, maybe it's about time that MNHQ got a bit 'harsher' with posters that seem to have an axe to grind. If they say BM hasn't reported since Jul, then it does seem a little 'off' to me that she continues to accuse posters (and that will be the 'regular' or 'royalty' posters, make no mistake) of bullying.

This weekend was a troll/PBP free-for-all and I'll bet MNHQ have had a fucking gutsfull of it, I know I have.

I don't know if i can cope with this working malarkey, means I am having to RTFT each night...very exhausting

Been here about 3 years and have met some lovely oldies, newbies and middlies and a few eejits along the way.....don't have the imagination n to name change....

I've actually worked out what SIOB means without asking :o

Could you tell me Owl? I've never seen it before

It's only embarrassing when you moan they haven't responded to you report and then they come back and say you've not sent one and the tabs still open with it written in 'cos you never pressed send
