To think I’ve just been banned from mumsnet

I recently wrote a post sharing my experiences of being hit by an au pair when I was a child.

I got an email notification saying someone had added a reply to the thread but when I clicked on the link to see my thread, I was shocked and confused to find that it had been deleted for breaking talk guidelines.

I also noticed that I was no longer logged in. It says my account has been deactivated.

I NC for the first time when I wrote that recent post but I’ve been here for years.

I’m really shocked and feel really upset about it actually.

I have no emails from mumsnet explaining what’s happened or why this has happened.

When I tried to sign up again it came up with an error message stating that no new registrations are being accepted!

I wondered if this was personal to me (I.e my email has been banned from being registered) and I think that’s the case because when I attempted to register with my Apple ID and chose not to share my email, it let me sign up and I created this account.

I have emailed Mumsnet and asked them what’s going on.

I will also report this post in the hopes of getting the attention of a moderator so they can help me.

Has anyone ever had this happen to them? It’s a really horrible experience.

Does anyone remember my post? If so, have you any idea at why it got deleted?

Hi @Letsallgototherapyagain

We're really sorry for any stress this has caused. We've emailed you about this by now but just wanted to post here as well to explain what happened.

It looks like your original thread was taken down late last night following a number of reports about it as there were concerns about the graphic nature of the opening post. Our system had also flagged possible links with previously banned posters so we needed to check those out.

Now we've had a chance to look into things we can see that you're a very long-term member of the site and we've reinstated your original account.

We hope you can understand why we have to err on the side of caution in cases like this - unfortunately we've had a number of trolls on the site of late so please forgive us for being overly cautious.

If you'd like us to reinstate your thread we're happy to do so, but think perhaps AIBU isn't the right topic for it - we'd suggest moving it to either our 30 days only topic or our Chat one, both of which are a bit more sensitive than AIBU.

Sorry again for any stress caused.
