How does it make you feel when you're having a discussion with people you have something in common with, about something you have in common, like giving birth or birth trauma or breastfeeding, or being a mother or daughter or wife or sister, perhaps even being an abused wife or daughter or sister, and someone who does not share the experience, a man with strident opinions, shall we say, and maybe a friend or two he has invited along, plonks himself down among you and pontificates and scolds, and finally the discussion ends up revolving around accusations of man-hating, with advice and commiseration being wilfully misinterpreted as expressions of misandry?

Apologies, very long sentence there. But no apology for the contents.

Hello.

As many of you have already said on this thread, we do ask you in our Talk Guidelines to report to us any concerns you have about a particular poster.

That way, we can have a good delve about to see what that poster has been up to - and then monitor what they get up to next.

If, going by your reports and our delvings, we think that the poster is continuing to post in a way that consistently breaks our Guidelines and/or in a way that does seem deliberately designed to disrupt a discussion ? rather than engage in it ? we tend to send them a polite but stern warning mail.

If our mail goes unheeded, our next step may well be to ban.

EvilAntsandMiasmas: no, we would count as "troublemakers" posters who continually fail to engage in discussions and/or who seem intent on disrupting threads.

And we welcome reports about anyone whose posts concern you - even if you're not sure whether they properly qualify as a troublemaker or not.

We look at every report that comes in and, although we don't always act immediately, they do help us build up a picture of posters who may (or may not) turn out to be Trouble with a capital T.
