Wondering Why I was banned

104 replies

Spudthecat · 04/07/2017 16:09

I was a member of a different parenting forum, I was a member for 3 years, recently I wanted to ask a question about something personal so wanted to be anonymous as my screen name was identifiable, anyway I was banned for having more than one account (seen many people do what I did so didn't realise it was such a huge issue) anyway I have tried to sign back up again and it won't let me, even after changing my ip address, I've tried to sign up using my iPad instead of phone still won't allow it, I've cleared cookies used different emails and screen names and nothing also used wifi in Starbucks and tesco, I am banned instantly again, how are they tracking me! Any ideas what I can do! Feels really harsh I was permanently banned

@onalongsabbatical California sounds good.

I honestly don't understand how NK has still got members, what with Kim Jong chelle firing off bans like nuclear weapons.

My ban was for disagreeing with their favourite minion. She didn't like that I thought it was ok for rape victims to have an abortion and not be called murderers Hmm

So OP what was your question?

SootSprite · 04/07/2017 18:16

Wear your Nethuns Ban like a badge of honour (I do) and come and play with the grown ups.

We can swear and everything here Smile

Loads of us are banned from Netmums.

SailAwayWithMeHoney · 04/07/2017 18:19

I've always wondered how they do it too!

I was banned for drawing attention to the fact the man hitting on women offering support on a rape thread, was a troll. After spending all day reporting his posts and his private messages to me to hq who did sod all about it. I earned that ban 😂

I complained, they doubled my ban Hmm but the other attempts I made at making new account so under totally different names (even one made up the country) they banned them all. I don't know how they do it!

crookedhooker · 04/07/2017 18:20

I was banned too. I'm boring so can't think why.

RaspberryBeretHoopla · 04/07/2017 18:23

They have the best banhammer, you have to give them that.

They say they are the biggest parenting website in the UK a are they really bigger than Mumsnet? Shock

Incitatus · 04/07/2017 18:34

I kind of know the answer to this, but not in great detail. It's a type of cookie their site puts on your phone/device. Clearing out normal cookies won't work, you have to do something else, but I can't remember what exactly. You'll need to google I think.

Incitatus · 04/07/2017 18:36

For starters, try a proxy server. You can get an app which will do that.

I thought you weren't given membership on here unless you'd offered proof of banning from nethuns??

Anyway op, welcome to where the cool kids hang out.
Come summer hols they'll be on here in droves posting random shit for us to keep us on our toes 🙄🙄

RebelRogue · 04/07/2017 20:32

Would this be a wrong time to brag about being banned over there,getting a new account and having gone undetected for 6 months?😬😬

SailAwayWithMeHoney · 04/07/2017 20:35

Rebel what is the secret?

Spudthecat · 04/07/2017 20:38

Just realised I can't even VIEW the site, even if I'm not logging in and just having a look it takes me to an error page after a few minutes so basically they don't want me to even look at the site, so ott! I've tried google but I'm not really that technical so not having any luck

I have never been a member of Nethuns, and have only occasionally visited the site. It just doesn't grab me or even look attractive. Just looks silly instead.

Far better over here where we can call a spade a spade and not have to pussyfoot around.

WhiskeySourpuss · 04/07/2017 20:51

Rebel I still can't believe that you're getting away with that!

I got banned the first time for calling someone a cuntpuddle... 2nd time was because some cuntpuddle reported me because she could dish it out but not take it.... next one is a lifetime ban - however Chelle is my bestie & lets most of my infractions slide for some reason at one point certain members thought I was Chelle Blush

EyeHalveASpellingChequer · 04/07/2017 20:54

Have you definitely changed your WAN IP address (not just your local IP address).

RebelRogue · 04/07/2017 20:57

@WhiskeySourpuss we all know you ARE her. All this banning and stuff is just smoke and mirrors. 😬

WhiskeySourpuss · 04/07/2017 21:00

@RebelRogue do you really think you'd have gone undetected for 6 months if I was Chelle Wink

RebelRogue · 04/07/2017 21:01

OP what I'd try is.. leave it a few days. Next time you visit a friend/library use a completely different device and ip address to make a new email and account. When you're home delete the app abd all the data,cookies etc and try again. On and keep on down low.

I've actually gone undetected twice,but the first time I identified myself like an idiot. My misteak Grin

RebelRogue · 04/07/2017 21:01

@WhiskeySourpuss yes.. because you owe me. Grin

WhiskeySourpuss · 04/07/2017 21:02

Imagine if Chelle is on mumsnet too... she'll be going crazy trying to figure out who we are 😂😂

NoddysBell · 04/07/2017 21:03

Spud, stay here with us. I had a major bollocking from Nethuns for telling a nasty twat of a poster she was just that.

I came here and never looked back. And you don't have to deal with text speak, glittery shit and being treated like a 5 year old. And I've learned some excellent new swears too.

RebelRogue · 04/07/2017 21:05

OP also when u register use different address,area,postcode etc and a nondescript name,something like Sarah C,there's about a billion of them.
