Rules around banning?

338 replies

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?

Are you not allowed to share emails from HQ with the peasants public?

That's not new. To be fair, I think it's ok to expect behind the scenes discussions not to be posted in here.

TheUnworthy · 13/11/2016 22:58

Go well means off you fuck I think.

I'd prefer 'Fare the well ogre troll'

I never said it was new.

I've been on MN for just over 5 years under various names and I don't "know" anyone, except for the names that I see frequently. I haven't seen any evidence of special favours but I'm sure we'll have the royalty comments coming along shortly...

AnyFucker · 13/11/2016 23:00

Oh well, Msgame Smile

People who have been around for years are more likely to have had a few 'off' times during those years. Seems a bit unfair to hold them against them indefinitely if they are months/years apart compared to those who frequently have posts deleted for breaking Guidelines.

PurpleDaisies · 13/11/2016 23:01

I never said it was new.

I assumed because you were asking whether it was ok to share emails from MNHQ on here that you didn't know that it hasn't ever been permitted.

AVirginLitTheCandle · 13/11/2016 23:02

Is WannaBe ever coming back? Sad

MsGameandWatch · 13/11/2016 23:02

I kind of think that the email belongs to the person it's been sent to but I am in no mood for a row about it so will leave it at that Smile

AnyFucker · 13/11/2016 23:02

I was thinking you must be a PBP or goady fucker MsGame

But no...still none the wiser Smile

PhilODox · 13/11/2016 23:03

Wannabe? Shock
But she's been here years, and years. Confused Whatever could she have done that was so OTT?

BeyondReasonablyDoubts · 13/11/2016 23:07

I think I'm gonna don my tinfoil hat, just in case. Things are very weird around here at present.

AVirginLitTheCandle · 13/11/2016 23:08

Same here.

Anyway I'm off to have a bath. I will be using a nice Lush Christmas bath bomb Smile

Owllady · 13/11/2016 23:16

I've spoke to wannabe, you are a disgrace mnhq
Hope your journo crowd brings in the dosh

MsGameandWatch · 13/11/2016 23:18

I imagine there'll be an email like mine on its way to you shortly owl Wink

TrippyMcTrapFace · 13/11/2016 23:20

Oh dear. WTF is going on around here? Confused

Somebody should start selling those tinfoil hats. I'll have two please.

Owllady · 13/11/2016 23:20

They normally just disable me without telling me :o oh well!

"People who have been around for years are more likely to have had a few 'off' times during those years. Seems a bit unfair to hold them against them indefinitely if they are months/years apart compared to those who frequently have posts deleted for breaking Guidelines."

I agree with Bumbley.

Well, that's a first!

Thanks for posting Iona.

Devilishpyjamas · 13/11/2016 23:31

Owl tell me what's going on. (Not here or we'll both get banned)

Wannabe has been here years, hasn't been goady & even ticks the bloody MNHQ 'recent hard time' box. Hmm

LouisvilleLlama · 13/11/2016 23:34

But wouldn't that be taken into account user26436432 has been registered 5 days and got 47 reports in 3 out of 20 comments LighthouseLove has been registered 10 years had 500 reports over 1284 comments but only 5 have been in them last 50 for the last week

Boogers · 13/11/2016 23:43

I was banned two weeks ago for pulling someone up on what I thought was a deliberately goady post which was then followed up with a very nasty PM from the OP. MNHQ deleted my post, which admittedly could have been more constructive, but there was no warning, no email, just couldn't log in for several days, while the offensive goady thread remained. I'm still very annoyed about that one to the point that I can't be bothered to post like I did.

MsGameandWatch · 13/11/2016 23:47

There does seem to be an awful lot of bans being dished out ATM. Some rather excitable and enthusiastic newbies in MNHQ perhaps?

AVirginLitTheCandle · 14/11/2016 00:05

Oh dear. What have MNHQ done to WannaBe?

Please don't say it had anything to do with the poppy thread.
