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.

Oops, I forgot to post my actual point

Which was - surely mn should be persuing legal action against the individual to show that they are taking it seriously, so no one needs to report them for not taking adequate action as a business?

There is no sign of any 'tech savvy' though. It's easy to get a new IP address and throwaway email account to register.

well that's what HQ have said so I am going by that.

Anyway it doesn't really matter. No point in arguing between ourselves. Best to ignore them until they get bored tbh.

Off out

disillusioned, it's not a hacker. It's someone who knows the site and is for some reason targeting folk with disabilities or disability in the family. HQ need to do something about it and we need to find a way round this, but it's not a hacker, a hacker would do so much more.

whatever, we all have different ideas :) Hope they are stopped anyway.

it's not me anyway. Have a good day and hope they go away :)

There's absolutely no tech savvy involved.
What there is is a pathetic individual signing up repeatedly through the wide open sign in process. There's nothing to detect whether or not banned regs have come from that particular ip, browser combination to prevent it.

So, get banned. Get a disposable email address and just sign up again and again.

What there is evidence of is it is one person. Over and over again for six days now. On occasion using sock puppet accounts. Post vile posts, send vile pms, use vile disablist language in usernames.

It's also someone who has been around years, and I mean years. "Makes you sound like a cunt" was a way to get around being deleted some years back. Knowing the sn community chat board the g&c. Going on the support thread for neurodivergent adults. Those places are pretty tucked away, not on aibu.

This is an adult and one who has been around these parts a long time and know how it works.

for some people the joy is not in being disablist or targeting a particular person, its in getting past again and being abusive although they were banned, is all i will say.

The main thing is that they are got rid of anyway, whatever their motivation :).

there is totally no need to convince me of their motives, honestly. We can all have different opinions :) It doesn't really matter

That's what I think too Bishop, all of it.

Yup. Though I also agree with disillusioned's
"the joy is... ...in getting past again and being abusive although they were banned"

I think it's probably someone who is a long term disabilist arse, but they are also getting off on the "haha, I got in anyway"

maybe everyone is right :) good post Beyond

yes I am sure they have done this before

There shouldnt be "corners" though.

Bet the hacker would love that.

who knows what their motivation is, and hope they stop.

I did actually mean troll there not hacker. Who knows what they are.

Oh, I'm sure they're loving how easy it is to pop on and post a flurry of shit.

It's just so easy to do that I don't want to elevate their sense of self worth by according them hacker status. Hackers have skills.

Quite.
Hacking denotes a level of intelligence that this particular individual lacks. Very evident by the quality of their posts.

Oh and my phone autocorrects hacking to jacking which I'm sure they're also doing, must be a huge wanker!

Some sort of update on the issue from MNHQ would be quite nice...

Yeah, Sirzy Hang on:
We're doing what we can, we can't tighten things up as it's not fair on everyone else, tech are working on it.
That do ya!
