What actually are your plans to deal with disablism on MN?

[JustAnothersilentorangenugget]

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.

Are Pm's still being sent?
The poster seems to ave cleared off.

Disablist trolling is actually illegal.

Methinks Hq should look into pursuing this troll through the police.

I haven't had any for a couple of days. Just pointing out that it's not as easy to hide the thread for some of us. I don't know about whether anyone else is still getting them. I hope not. It's horrid.

Disillusioned, bearing in mind this has been going on since last Saturday, I'm inclined to agree.

Report and hide works when it's a troll starting a thread, but not when they invade long running support threads or threads made by vulnerable people or people going through shitty times who need support.

Some of the posts have been up for nearly 40mins now, more mods whether volunteers or whatever is clearly needed MN.

We need to keep reporting I think.

This morning the SN support thread has been trolled. That is a particular low as that really should be a safe place (the while board should be but you know what I mean!)

They are being deleted now. Hopefully the name will be changed again too.

Our adult one has been too Sirzy, yesterday and today. This is clearly a longstanding re-registering member as they think they know what buttons to press and know who's who.

The thing is as far back as i've been here the SN section hasn't actually caused any trouble to anyone, so why attack it?

Dunno prof, suspect there's some history here.

There are some dreadful views about children with asd other invisible disabilities on here, of all places! Sad to see such narrow mindedness.

It's a bit uneasy that it is attacks on indvidual people rather than "the disabled" in general.

Whilst I get your point Floofy - I wouldn't want bloody sparkly tickets and hunning for anything in the world - it's not the ethos I want but the technology. So that means a ban is a ban and no ability to re reg easily. The only filter I'd want would be on usernames and not on swears (fuck I swear plenty myself!) but disablist and racist language for example.

Yes you shouldn't be able to register a name with the N word, the R word, the S word in them.

Or N word, P word

what's the P word?

Pms are continuing

"BishopBrennansArse if you get a car for free you have no rights to complain what happens to it Your life is funded by taxpayers."

Aww. Lovely.

oh never mind, worked it out.

BBA

Has HQ not banned them?

How are they still sending out pms?

Sorry I forgot to mention PMs, agree it's not as simple as report and hide there, as they feel "targeted" against an individual in a way a post on a forum doesn't.

I think a PM that says "you're a twat and I hate disabled people" is absolutely a hate crime and should be treated as such. I also think this is what will force MNHQ to act, at least by tightening up rules about who can PM (not new users and perhaps not name changers and certainly never PBPs?) Again we will probably all disagree on this and the best method of stamping it out.

I don't even think charging as they used to would help. (CAT ME YOU CUNT, anyone? ) I also think these trolls are long term MNers, though it saddens me to say it.

I think the ease of name changing is both a blessing and a curse, but MNHQ don't consider it to be at a tipping point yet.

I think they're long term MNers too Floofy

Bish

I still think it's one person.

Sadly i think name changing might be best for some. Or getting post history deleted, as they seem to use the search function to target people.
