Not a TAAT. The issues are wider than that.

Yet again on here, I've seen the attempted derailing of a mother's thread about her child.

When we talk about challenges we have, ploppers turn up trying to close debates down.

This small part of MN came into being against much opposition. Huff and puff all they like, these eeijts are not going to blow our BMN house down.

I thought I'd post here for BMN to share views. Even when it's pointed out that here is a safe space, that it is Black Mumsnet, still we have deliberate attempts to undermine.

I haven't posted this in Site Stuff, for it to be swamped by other voices, I'm thinking. perhaps, have a discussion here first.

Should BMN not show up in "Active " for example? Or is that counter productive? Any other suggestions?

Thoughts welcome.

Hi all, and thanks for your thoughts so far.

We've been discussing what might be the best way forward and reading the thread with interest.

Several posters raise important and thoughtful points that we are considering with regards to our moderation.

The Black Mumsnetters section is for black Mumsnetters and there’s a reasonable expectation that it should be a space to discuss common experiences without anyone having to explain themselves. We're mindful of that, and moderate with that front of mind.

We're always happy to discuss changing the way we moderate particular boards, particularly those that are susceptible to trolling or need safeguarding for other reasons.

At the moment, there are some good ideas on how to make the section more useful to posters - we're very interested to hear more.

It looks like some of the most popular ideas might be to not have BMN appear in Active and to limit when people can post (as we do with the Sex topic) so we're particularly interested to see what people think about these, but we're open to other ideas too. (As a few posters mentioned upthread - taking a discussion/area out of Active can have negative effects too - fewer people will see it and fewer will post).

While we’ve no plans to take the board out of Active right now, we’ll review this idea for the future.

Once we've got some more views, we'll have a chat in the MN virtual office about what might be most useful and workable.
