Rules around banning?

338 replies

TheUnworthy · 13/11/2016 21:54

Feeling a little nervous after the recent thread that went 'poof' and reports of people being banned and not knowing why/not having any deleted posts beforehand.

Is there a three strike rule? No strikes?

you've claimed you are happy to discuss it but I've emailed you about a friend's account and have had no response.

I guess because it's not yourself you're asking about. I think your friend would need to contact them herself.

I don't think wannabe fits in to any of the categories in the explanation, I have been here a long time and she isn't someone that strikes me as goady, nasty or out to make people's lives a misery. She is one of the few posters that doesnt name change and most of her posts just seem to be common sense.

AnyFucker · 13/11/2016 22:47

Under what name were you sent that message, Teddy ?

Soubriquet · 13/11/2016 22:48

Hah! Teddy that is very similar to what a friend has been sent too

AVirginLitTheCandle · 13/11/2016 22:48

Failing that you could always head down to MNHQ and ask them yourself WTF their game is in person Wink.

AVirginLitTheCandle · 13/11/2016 22:49

it seems to us that perhaps Mumsnet isn't the forum for you.

What does that even mean?

Owllady there is only one WannaBe as far as I know.

TeacherBob · 13/11/2016 22:50

I also think that come posters get 'special favours' from mumsnethq

Trills · 13/11/2016 22:51

How silly would you have to be to email MNHQ saying MyFriend has been banned, can you tell me why? and expect an answer?

DonkeyOaty · 13/11/2016 22:52

Fair play Iona I certainly didn't expect a HQ reply tonight. Respect

Owllady · 13/11/2016 22:52

I'm really confused Confused
W to the A to the N to the N to the A to the B that's WannA-BE
why has she been banned? She's been ever so poorly recently
I don't really wanna have to set honey g on ya

AnyFucker · 13/11/2016 22:53

Wannabe is a regular poster over a number of years

Do you think she has got special treatment Bob

Are are you using this thread to grind an axe ?...because that wouldn't be very nice, would it ?

Soubriquet · 13/11/2016 22:55

Trills I emailed because she was upset. It wasn't silly and I wasn't asking for an explanation for me. I was asking if they could please respond to her

AVirginLitTheCandle · 13/11/2016 22:55

Just noticed that MNHQ signed off that email with 'go well'...what does that even mean?

Owllady · 13/11/2016 22:55

Wtf is going on? Confused

TheUnworthy · 13/11/2016 22:55

Fair enough Iona, thank you for the Sunday night answer!

(Cough) you didn't see this taat me, right?

I actually think that the longer a poster has been around, then yes, the more benefit of the doubt they should be given in general. Someone's posting history should definitely be taken into account when mods consider whether to ban them.

I'd rather not say on here AF. I'm sure you can understand why Smile

TeacherBob · 13/11/2016 22:56

AnyFucker

Nope, I don't know Wannabe.

Was just joining the conversation. OP asked a question, I gave my POV from experience. Interesting you choose to pick on me (even though I have said the same as others). Not the first time I believe.

And no, I have no axe to grind, why would I?

AVirginLitTheCandle · 13/11/2016 22:56

And now Teddy's post has been deleted. Are you not allowed to share emails from HQ with the peasants public?

MsGameandWatch · 13/11/2016 22:56

Oh I'm outed anyway.

Owllady · 13/11/2016 22:57
