WTAF?! Who would seriously report her? Please give me an example!!

I am p*ssed. A troll she is not. A vindictive attack?!!

Seriously - the people that report her are probably freakin hiding behind their own shit because AnyFucker has been so far consistently logical, consistently balanced with immense experience to back up her responses on mumsnet I have EVER read to date.

She cuts through the crap. She tells it exactly how it is and just because some people refuse to accept her opinion it doesn't mean she is being vindictive or necessarily wrong!!

WTAF.

NO.

Mumsnet will be utter shit without the likes of AF's sensible, straight-talking, brilliant advice.

Please tell me the ban isn't true. WTF Mumsnet Towers? AF is mumsnet gold. The place will be piss poor without her. Take heed.

Justine has posted on another thread saying that they've been e mailing her and they'll let her back in a week.

I have never once read anything AF has posted and disagreed. Someone has to lay the facts out, no matter how much people don't want them to be true. Too many people don't realise that that's the real caring and trying to help.

I find every single rape/abuse/child abuse apologist post a fucking attack on decent humans everywhere. Why aren't THEY getting banned?!

what?!!! Shock i'm also very very Angry

i'm still a relative newbie to this site so not got to know many people yet but i've read a lot of AF's posts and don't see where the problem is. Yes, she has strong opinions and is forthright in her manner but there is nothing wrong with that! Methinks she has fallen victim to either the existing nest of vipers on MN or a new nest of vipers has sprung up.

I've noticed (in the short amount of time i've been here) that there is a nest of vipers who will gang up on their chosen victim, follow them around various threads and either goad their chosen victim or mass report them for alleged infringement of MN rules when their victim strikes back...and my gut instinct tells me that is what's happening here. It happened to me when i first joined - and all i did was share my opinion (after apologising beforehand in case my strong opinion offended anyone!).

I'm lucky in the sense that i'm new so can easily namechange (and have done) to avoid those bullies and vipers but it's different for AF as she is known,respected and loved for her contributions/advice.

what can we do???

nasty nasty business Angry

If AF has broken the rules, then the rules need changing, because she is utterly brilliant and spot on.

Ah good, she will be allowed back in a week Smile

Might i suggest we throw AF a big Welcome Back party when she returns? Show her our support AND it will send a big f* you to the reporters/vipers at the same time?

This week let's keep a special lookout for the kind of nasty little threads / posters AF would normally challenge and step in.

Genuinely stumped by this one.

AF is fucking amazing. She's helped so many people and she is so genuinely kind. MN can be abrasive, but that's one of the USP. It's why people prefer here to NM.

Really, really shocked.

jynier are you aware that that thread/site is never referred to by name on Relationships to stop abusive partners knowing it exists? You may want to request MNHQ delete your posts on the subject. There's a reason it's always referred to as "the other place".

ohforfoxsake I would like to know what the process is for banning someone, how it is investigated and what happens to the goaders. Do MNHQ look at the posters history, time on board, posts and make a judgement? Or is it more of a '5 strikes and you're out' approach?

MNHQ : We look at everything in context. AF is known to us, we have warned her repeatedly. If a new poster came on purely to stir things up, and were reported to us, we would ban. We know AF is here to help and support, we just ask that she remain within the rules.

from Here

Yes, AF gave great advice, but that doesn't mean she is allowed to break the rules & ignore warnings!

God. I am just a lurker but have actually been screwing up my courage for the past week to post about my disintegrating relationship, specifically in the hope of getting her advice.

Terrible decision.
