dear mn hq, please could something be done about the anti sn posts on mn

[2shoes]

as I know you are aware(I have the emails) people from the sn community have left this week, due to the vile things that have been said to the/or about SN.
isn't it time that mn hq took some steps to eradicate this, as you do with trolls? surely disablist/anti sn/ personal attacks should be deleted and something done about the posters.
or do we just keep loosing well informed, SN educated people from mn.
(no I can't link to a thread as there has been too many)

TBH I am very shamed of my own behaviour on Glitter's thread, I was pretty out of order myself. So won't be highlighting that one.

.

Given what happened to Riven post media intervention, I would be worried about that tbh.

jaw dropping indeed peachy, it was fucking disgraceful!

i notice that mnhq have not yet posted on this thread whilst they have been actively posting on others...

Agreed, usual. What else is it?

'specialneedsy' offends me.

i am not saying that the families should get involved and expose themselves to publicity! hell no not at all, but some awareness raised of the appaling views and bigotry towards sn in general, is there any way of doing this without involving individual posters and their families?

i would (and do) challenge some of the posts, but assume that the opinions have only been posted to get a reaction and should thus be deleted as trolling.

could we do a 'stand up and be counted thread' for posters to show their support and say i dont like this and it needs to stop? tho it would probably just bring out all the trolls to disagree...

''specialneedsy' offends me.'

That one made me as well as the sniggering, bitchy little digs that followed. It is also very depressing to see that those who challenge posts that are offensive about sn issues are usually those actively involved in sn on a daily basis.
Whilst the silent majority of MN stays silent. Condoning?

i think a lot of people stay silent as they dont know what to say? tho that is NOT an excuse at all and yes it does pretty much condone it :(

i am going to find the thread and report posts from it and i shall see what reply i get...

I reported posts on glitterknickaz thread- and I normally NEVER report. They are still standing; got an email from MNHQ saying they were keeping an eye on the thread, but that self-policing was appropriate here.

I assumed that some posts on glitterz thread would be deleted as trolling ,but they still stand

although its obvious they were posted to get a reaction

YY, it's not the offensiveness as such, but the blatant trolling.

Self-policing?
Can we have a rotten tomatoes icon to splat at rancid and offensive posts then?

Goblin
I think that the rest of MN stays silent, not because many do not agree with you, but because they lack the experience in that area.

But you are right, we should be posting more when we notice comments like that.

I didn't see Glitter's thread, but suggesting that she should not have a pet seems to be plain ignorance.

Tbh, I am torn with the post deletions. Sometimes I think it is good for some comments to stand, because I would actually quite like to see which posters are being cunts.

Could MNHQ highlight the post with the words, "MNHQ thinks you are a cunt, but will not delete this cunty post as others should see your cuntishness"

i've been rollocked for troll hunting and had 'the behave yourselg' email, several times... yet personal attacks and actual trolling goes unchallenged. perhaps it is time to actually ask for a webchat with mnhq where we ask for clarification\the official line. surely that's simple enough to organise.

Ah specialneedsy yes
I assumed many would stop and yell oi too much

They didn't

And why would anyone want to set themselves up as a target?

Supporting Sn aginst some sectors of MN is much akin to grabbing a bell and screaming unclean when all you wanted to do was make sure the poor leper ahd a home to go to

unwise.

Am loving that post Mme!

AFAIK Glitters thread is still out tehre but can;t link as hidden for sake of my own sanity.

(In fairness I though i'd be deleted on thread also and mine wasn't either)

Was 'specialneedsy' on glitter's thread?

Thanks for highlighting this AGAIN 2shoes.
Tbh, although I used to post a lot about my ds who has sn, from before the days where you had to opt in to the sn board, I name changed and pretty much stopped mentioning him a long time ago as mn just stopped feeling like a safe place to bring my rawest fears and even my hopes and dreams for him. And after a few years I, like many people, found other support networks.

But the turn it's taken over the last few months particularly just makes me not want to be here any more, and I'm not here much now. Some days You'd get more empathy from the daily mail, frankly.

And my ds is older, I'm past that first raw shock, that 'just landed in holland(!)' feeling, and things are really ok for us at the moment. So, so sad that it's not a place that people who need support and safety can go any more. The support and advice I try to share I do elsewhere these days.

And why why why the analogy with racism is consistently ignored by MNHQ I do not understand.

I have very little time today, the joys of a ' very special specialneedsy child' limits my time on here. Just wanted to say the 2shoes et al have my total support. If this continues, i think it will be time for me to leave MN also.

to be fair, there was a lot of posters who did show disgust about the posts on that thread, a vile one was made to me, and the person was pulled on it.
weirdly it was assumed I refuse to work and am on benefits... tbh I am glad the posts still stand, deleting sometimes works, but I think dealing with the posters is more important.
mn hq do ban , they did so on the MM threads, yet look how long they left daftpunk... sn issues just don't seem high on their list, perhaps we aren't the advertisers dream that they want on here.

you all have my support too, and admiration (not that that's worth a fuck) any campaign has my backing.

And I do just hide threads these days. I take your point about staying silent being like condoning though. Maybe I should change my mind about. That.
But you know, when you've spent so many years fighting the world, it feels like, I don't know, I just want to feel happy about my kid. I don't want to read/ engage with that kind of hatred
