Not a TAAT as such - more about moderation in general.

Is it just me or are MN much quicker to delete threads these days?

There have been a few examples recently where the thread had taken an odd turn - but which could have been solved by deletions or posdibly even a stern but the whole thread has been pulled, despite the thread containing useful advice.

Is this a new policy? Or are there a couple of new mods who are more likely to pull threads?

AIBU to think this is happening and it's a shame if so?

Reddit admins and MNHQ have access to users IP addresses, so it will all come out in the wash either way.

Good. Because some of the accusations made about me are totally vile.

I don't understand - what will come out 'in the wash'?

It’s not that people on MNtrolls hate MN - they hate the trolls and disappointment with the moderation.

There’s a massive difference

Mumof56 · 07/01/2018 09:31

@Rachel0Greep

They'll be able to confirm I had nothing to do with the thread battleax is accusing me of starting/contributing to on here about young girls and battleax is talking shit.

A580Hojas · 07/01/2018 09:32

Way to make a thread go pouff! I wonder what the Mumsnet mods attitude to troll hunting is when it's troll hunting from another forum? Grin

JacquesHammer · 07/01/2018 09:32

I don't even understand post deletions Grin

It's only happened to me twice. Once when referencing another deleted post (got it!)

The other time someone called me a whore. I asked if they were always so simplistic and got deleted. The whore comment didn't Grin

One of the Radford threads was pulled recently because it was allegedly identifying for the OP. But, so far as I remember, she was just giving a general opinion about a recent programme. I couldn't for the life of me see what was identifying.

@Dippingmytoesin

I see you've got confirmation from mn mods that it wasn't me and battleax is in fact talking shit

Coconutspongexo · 07/01/2018 09:39

Don’t know if I’m allowed to post the email off MNHQ but it says mumof56 and the poster of the thread linked above don’t appear to have a connection

@Battleax
Care to explain why you made that up and started throwing around false accusations?

Coconutspongexo · 07/01/2018 09:45

Is there not a chance battleax just got you mixed up with someone Hmm

Gowgirl · 07/01/2018 09:47

Reddit mods are not not mods in the mnet sense, they are also active in the sub. So anyone hoping for it all to come out in the wash will be disappointed.

BrucesBitOnTheSide · 07/01/2018 09:47

Perhaps you'd care to explain why you posted this. You were insinuating that woman who need raping and sluts was being discussed. Whose vile now? No it's definitely not. I just had a look there and there's threads about a woman "who needs raping" and "sluts". Vile altogether

just5morepeas · 07/01/2018 09:49

Assuming what mnhq look at are ip addresses, not seeing a connection between two accounts only means that they don't share an ip.

It's perfectly possible for someone to post from different ip addresses and I'm speaking as someone who's a mod of a different website and used to deal with a persistent troll who always had a different ip.

I believe we had a troll on the sub over night, it was picked up very quickly due to an active community over there.

@BrucesBitOnTheSide

It was. The posters over there are discussing it at length at the moment.
