I have rejoined just to ask this question.

[hathorisaskingaquestion]

Why are some members of this site allowed to get away with persistently being vile, pushing an agenda, defending the indefensible, upsetting other members, twisting versions of events and generally being nasty, and they do not get banned?

Not about any one particular poster, but I have noticed that some stronger "personalities" on here seem to be Teflon coated.

Why is this?

Why do the owners of this site want that kind of vile poster and do not seem to care about the number of truly decent kind posters who are being upset and driven off the site?

A MNetter said that the people from MNHQ also post as "normal people".Are you one OatyBeatie?

@LeB0F

Helen, come and answer the OP! That stiff about the hirsute lady banjo player will go with me to my grave, I promise.

LeBOF, sssssh! [shock}

But they can and should ban people for behaving inappropriately here.

Which they did not do quick enough. IMHO.

Helen git here fucking fast, didn't she? Told you

I don't understand the feminist thingie

Is this the cross over from FB that was talked about on another thread recently?

Ive noticed this OP but we are probably thinking of different posters.

Ive noticed a lot of obvious goading and shit stirring posts (more recently on the recent FWR discussion threads) made by some people that no way in hell would be allowed to stand if it was a lesser known poster making them. The deletion policy is a joke aswell, Ive had posts deleted that have said pretty much the exact same thing that a more well known poster has made and theirs has been allowed to stand.

Ive often wondered if some are from MNHQ tbh

Hairy - that's it exactly.

I have noticed bread is getting more expensive

When lots of posters go on a thread to say ' i usually dont post here becuase my POV isn't tolerated even though i'm a feminist' someone needs to take a look. it's not just an old socialist saying its bullshit, its simply fucking bullshit

I actually think it has (overall) got tamer on here.
I am not 'royalty', I have been here a mere 4 years or so and I continue to not really understand the 'upsetting in RL' thing? I am genuinely baffled by this, as if people get rude/unreasonable/personal surely you leave the thread and hide it if need by, non??

I am not sure that I think anybody is dominating anything, some people feel very passionately about what might be considered extreme views, but I find that very interesting, frankly.

Using private information in RL or across the abomination that is FB, that is another kettle of nasty, stinking fish, of course

I am a newbie. And you are a journo fio.

Hello
I am not actually working this evening but happen to be here.
Just wanted to clarify that AFAIK there are no posters who have MNHQ in their pockets (or any compromising polaroids for that matter )
We do our damnedest every single day and often very late into the night to treat all Mumsnetters alike and fairly, whilst maintaining our stance on freedom of speech.

HTH

On the same thread, hairylemon? I would be astonished, if so.

If however, the two similar posts were on different threads, it's entirely possible that one post was reported to us and the other was not.

We do rely on folks to report posts that break our Guidelines.

BTW I don't mean one specific poster.

I mean a number of posters.

I've noticed it in FWR but also on other threads.

Why do these people get away with it?

And reporting is useless, it takes literally days for HQ to even reply, much less delete or take any action.

:o @ journo. What on earth would there be to write about?

'totalitarian woman sucks teeth in supermarket queue'

Yes, fio the undercover journalist. Recently uncovered. It was like Watergate, I tell you.

I love Olivia the best

The whole FWR/splitting of boards was a bit unnecessary and not ultimately helpful, was it? But why not just stay well clear?

Is this about the snake?

Pacific - posters carry grudges across threads.

Not all. But some do.

And that's not aimed just at FWR.

Pacific -

"Using private information in RL or across the abomination that is FB, that is another kettle of nasty, stinking fish, of course"

That is what happened. That, right there.

and all that time I was pretending to be a mother and a carer and all the time I really worked for the daily star as a gland specialist

Bold fail.

Been here years and I will never get it.

FFS.

Yes Helen it was on the same thread, infact the post was only a couple of posts above mine. Just chafed my arse a bit tis all.
