This site is corrupt and supports abuse of its users

[whatever4]

Hi, I just wanted to detail my recent experience on Mumsnet, at the very least there are some rogue admins here who are extremely biased/incompetent.

i posted several thoughtful posts in the current FGM discussion. Every post I made was fully within the rules, and on topic and not a single post was deleted (though admins did delete all the best posts in the thread that were written by other users).

My account was banned shortly after I received abusive personal attacks in the thread, with no action taken against the abuser who was quite clearly disrupting the discussion, and making the debate unpleasant with their breach of the site rules. it appears that others making equally civil posts have been banned too.

i made a replacement account and used this to report the posts in question as I felt staff must have missed them and made a mistake in banning me, however this account was then banned immediately after reporting the abusive posts.

Needless to say the abusive posts still remain in place without even the hint of a warning.

So in summary. Those civilly taking part in a discussion get banned from Mumsnet if their opinions aren't 100% in line with the Mumsnet feminist agenda. Similarly, basic rules such as no personal attacks do not apply if said attacks are made by a feminist towards a male. Furthermore, any victim of abuse reporting their victimisation by feminists will be banned form the site for reporting their abuse.

I'd appreciate an apology for what has occurred and for action to be taken against those making personal attacks. If , on the other hand, the above paragraph actually represents Mumnet's official site policy rather than the agenda of one rogue admin then perhaps you can please put it in writing so an right minded person knows not to use this site.

Many thanks.

Looks like blatant sockpupetting to me. why is this thread still standing?

We tend not to delete threads criticising MNHQ (unless they're really beyond the pale) - seems best to allow users (even slightly dubious ones) to discuss MNHQ's actions.

Where do I get my abuse?

Just as soon as I get my corruption Hully

Yes, I'd like some corruption too.

Whose getting it all? Why aren't they sharing?

I think it's Justine. She keeps all the abuse and corruption in a cupboard and hides the key

Hully you are the source of all corruption and you know it.

I'd like to discuss MNHQ's actions.

Someone tell me how they act and I'll discuss it.

If there is any abuse going, Id quite like some. ..

That Justine!So selfish!

It's like she thinks she's in charge or something.

Sock puppets are OK - they keep your hands warm :)

Apparently , apparently they have a goat each at MNHQ. They line them up in front of the plasma of a morning. And yet none of them, none of them is entitled one to one!! They've all fiddled a benefits claim.

Corrupt bastards

Are they even mums? Have we all been hoodwinked.

Yeah they're mums. Single ones. That's why the get all the goats innit. They're also claiming a pupil premium for the work experience girl and Justine spends it on hobnobs. Branded ones. Tsk.

snigger
Yeah. And they all have 48 inch screen conputer monitors!

I've just been reading through a thread littered with abuse towards the OP which includes a pretty patronising post from an admin and it's still standing... or does anything go in aibu?

Or are threads at the discretion of the person dealing with the reports? Despite the fact it goes clearly against the talk guidelines that are frequently trotted out.

I'm not really arsed either way just to be clear just puzzled slightly.

I've never seen a deletion that was out of order although admittedly I tend to stay out of AIBU where the real action seems to take place

Having read the other thread, the OP really wanted the debate to be about male circumcision as well as FGM, and people told her to start a new thread, but she thought they were all wrong for not including it.

Is that right?

Where does the sock puppeting come in?

Is someone saying she was being another poster as well?

How do you tell when this is happening

Please can someone PM me and explain if you can't put it on the thread, I've never understood this

OP you were asked to create a new thread. You never. You were hijacking a thread about a very worthy petition and although you were told many times that many MNers would happily sign a male specific one, you chose to ignore it. You quite rightly were banned and I think you conducted yourself very poorly given the nature of the post and petition which you were unsupportive of.

Could you report it please gamerchick, if you haven't already? We'll take a look.

We do have a team of people who work on reports, and obviously some things do come down to the discretion of whoever happens to be on duty - but we do try to apply the Guidelines consistently across the board. That's not to say we don't sometimes get it wrong, though.

Thankyou :)

I can't find it now. It was the my kid kicked the teacher one.

I do understand that it can be tough to be neutral if you have a strong opinion though.. admins are not robots.

That one has been deleted, gamer. OP was clearly goading.

Thankyou :)

Or maybe went on the defence when having strips torn off from the off perhaps?

It doesn't matter if it was a troll, somebody goading or whatever.. the level of nastiness on that thread was almost palpable, it should have been pulled long before it did. I've seen threads go poof for a lot less and a lot less posts.

A bit of consistency isn't a lot to ask for or there's no point in talk guidelines at all if sometimes it's a free for all. :(
