JustAnothersilentorangenugget · 08/07/2017 16:20

You remember you were going to impliment all kinds of things, Message which explained posts were deleted due to disablism, Emails to the posters, proactive buzzwords...

a year on what has been the result of this massive change in moderation?

Now i'm not suggesting this was a carrot, dangled to try and stop people leaving....
But we donkeys ARE getting a little tired of walking and woudl like to know what plans are there for the future to stop attacks.

aww I missed the sad troll. I'm sure they'll be back though. They are helping prove the point, so it's all good.

Widdle troll is lonely 😭
Needs attention and feeding or they will starve.

Disillusionedone · 10/07/2017 10:27

Am not slating you BTW HQ, it's a very very difficult subject to moderate, which is why I think an advisor would be a good idea.

DecoRules · 10/07/2017 10:28

I would like to turn the rudeness on its head a little and tell Dawn she should be proud to have a daughter able to speak out and thus be labelled by an ignorant person. Wear you badges with pride!

Dawndonnaagain · 10/07/2017 10:30

And this morning's pm:

you are making this thread all about you. Stop being selfish and think of others. You are disliked because you are an asshole, not because you are disabled

Definitely the same person then. Mumsnet HQ thank you for deleting so quickly, I didn't see it this time, but as I'm being harassed by pm I rather think you need to tighten things up a touch!

CrochetBelle · 10/07/2017 10:32

MNHQ it's great you deleted that post(er?) so quickly, but maybe you could actually interact with some of the questions people have asked?

BishopBrennansArse · 10/07/2017 10:35

My Pm this morning:

"why you being horrible? No wonder people attack you, you act like a cunt"

professorvanvonsteinenburg · 10/07/2017 10:35

Very quick response HQ!

As CrochetBelle has said, please give us more interaction and answer questions. Surely coming to a solution together is the best idea?

Flowers BBA.
I'd offer you a pint, but you'd only spill it! Wink

BishopBrennansArse · 10/07/2017 10:40

Lmao.
My poor little pint. 🍺

Bubblesagain · 10/07/2017 10:41

Disgusting pms, maybe some kind of minimum post count/time length system before you can send pms.
Another one disappointed with reactions to disabalist threads, also I hate the oh leave it up to educate thing, disabled people are no a school for GF.

Polter · 10/07/2017 10:42

The PM thing shows how targeted this is, it's not just random twats, it's longstanding namechanging and newaccountmaking twats.

BishopBrennansArse · 10/07/2017 10:50

Thanks, Polter.
As for hq

BeyondDrinksAndKnowsThings · 10/07/2017 10:51

I'd definitely agree with there being a minimum time before the pm option becomes open (not posts - if someone really wanted to send nasty pms they could rack up 100 posts in ten minutes if they were determined)

Surely this'd also have fewer arguments from the general public than minimising namechanges etc too?

BeyondDrinksAndKnowsThings · 10/07/2017 10:52

Or we could retrofit the CAT system, perhaps? Grin

SumThucker · 10/07/2017 10:52

They're only embarrassing themselves. How utterly cowardly, having the cloak of anonymity and writing shit like that. Pathetic.

BBA, really enjoyed listening to that again. I remember my Aunt buying it. I was about six!

Dawndonnaagain · 10/07/2017 10:59

zzzz Thank you.
I don't think it's a bad idea, but if hq aren't giving those of us getting the pms any information, I can't see them getting the police involved.

BeyondDrinksAndKnowsThings · 10/07/2017 10:59

"you act like a cunt" is such a convoluted insult that it sounds to me like someone who has been around long enough that they saw the old use of the "you act like" to get around a PA...? Intriguing.

Polter · 10/07/2017 11:00

zzzzz that's pretty much what Jason's stance has been, that this is hate speech and should be treated as such...

Dawndonnaagain · 10/07/2017 11:01

Jason has made some very valid points.

BishopBrennansArse · 10/07/2017 11:02

It is hate speech. Absolutely. And by not properly securing against reregging hq are condoning it.
