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.

Would be nice if they could do something a bit longer term to keep it out, though

I do like it when i can just press the report button and not have to explain why

Polter · 12/07/2017 14:14

This one is certainly persistent.

professorvanvonsteinenburg · 12/07/2017 14:21

It's clearly a poster who is a regular site member setting up new accounts.

professorvanvonsteinenburg · 12/07/2017 14:22

"Special Snowflake" suggests they know the terminology of the site.

GoonBridge · 12/07/2017 14:24

Special snowflake is all over the Internet and part of modern lexicon to make derogatory remarks towards liberals or activists. It really isn't unique to MN.

professorvanvonsteinenburg · 12/07/2017 14:26

oh okay......

Not the sherlock i thought i was.... Grin

GoonBridge · 12/07/2017 14:29

😂

Disillusionedone · 12/07/2017 14:32

Surprised there isnt a filter in place to prevent user names with offensive words like that in.

To be honest its offensive seeing the name there still even if post deleted.

GoonBridge · 12/07/2017 14:34

It is. I ah r asked for it to be deleted. As they would a racist user name, etc.

Bubblesbubbles · 12/07/2017 14:34

I asked mumsnet if the name could be changed on the deleted post on another thread they posted in, not sure if it's possible though.

professorvanvonsteinenburg · 12/07/2017 14:40

Good idea to get the name changed.

Weebo · 12/07/2017 14:50

Can they change the name to something fun?

Like TrollyTheSnowflake?

Or Dickhead?

madnessinthemadhouse · 12/07/2017 14:52

Dickhead mctrollface.

professorvanvonsteinenburg · 12/07/2017 15:04

usernamehasbeenreset is also acceptable.

Thanks for being on the ball HQ.

Weebo · 12/07/2017 15:11

Thank HQ!

Dawndonnaagain · 12/07/2017 15:13

I've missed all the fun today!

Weebo · 12/07/2017 15:34

You haven't missed much, Dawn.

Just a sad empty person doing sad empty things.

I'm sure you were off doing more important things - Like having a life.

youarenotkiddingme · 12/07/2017 17:16

Is most of this happening during the day? I've not seen specific posts but I get there's a troll going around the site deliberately posting inflammatory threads?

professorvanvonsteinenburg · 12/07/2017 17:21

Targeting disabled posters, using the R word in their usernames, sending out abusive PMs to people, i think happens in the mornings mostly.

youarenotkiddingme · 12/07/2017 17:28

Shock some people actually have no shame

The original thread was calling Dawns DD a C.u n.t, then posting about how we asked for equility so were getting it, if he wants to buy apack of fags he will park in disabled places to do it.... and so on
and it's got more and more abusive since then.

professorvanvonsteinenburg · 12/07/2017 17:40

And in fairness to HQ over the last two days they've stopped it pretty much as soon as it starts.
