Why has Stratters been banned for reporting suspected Trolls as per MN policy?

[SoPassRemarkable]

Long standing, sensible poster.

Says she didn't troll hunt on the threads but reported. And has been banned for over reporting? Hardly her fault if there's lots of trolls to report?

Totally puts me off reporting any suspicions I have.

Bloody hell.

But there ARE trolls everywhere these days. Proper scammers, sex trolls, journos, you name it.

I thought we were supposed to report dodgy stuff?

I think we do need clarification on the HQ. Can we be banned for reporting too much?

I think she reported same one over and over.... even after mnhq had said that particular poster checked out and wasn't a troll......she still continued reporting...

I don't understand this at all. I thought reporting was the right thing to do?

I'd certainly like clarification. And to be honest I was worried that by starting this thread that I'm going to get banned too. So if you don't see me about after today you know why.

banned for reporting suspensions WTF has happened here!! If it wasn't serious I'd be asking HQ if they are on glue???

I would say that it's likely they are trying to get rid of the old timers as they don't care anymore. They love the trolls it seems and posters who have been around for a while won't stay quiet.

But I won't say that as it could probably get me banned as I've heard long term posters are getting banned permanently for disagreeing with HQ or reporting trolls.

Oh okay then, so lots of reports about one thread. Well she obviously had serious concerns and the advice is to keep reporting.

I thought MNHQ 'loved reports'. I've certainly read that more than a few times.

I believe Samcro was banned for similar.

It's all a bit shit, isn't it?

Even if she was reporting one thread a lot, I don't see why that would be cause for banning if she wasn't troll hunting on the thread.

If this has happened exactly as stated it's horrendously unfair. Plenty of posters seem to get away with troll hunting on the thread nothing seems to happen. To ban someone for doing the right thing and reporting is awful.

She says she was banned last week after reporting a different poster. Not the one she had reported previously.

Though she didn't get an email telling her why she was banned so maybe MN think they have a different reason?

It's shite and if this mumsnet don't try to offer at least a half decent explanation about the thread in question and the treatment of Stratters then this place really has gone to the dogs.

If this is true, this is very poor form MNHQ

You ask us to report our concerns and not troll hunt

Yet the troll hunters get a warning and proper reports are banned

I was banned for a week before and I had no email. I had to email them, then had to wait about three days after my ban time for them to actually reinstate my posting privileges.

I still maintain I said nothing ban-worthy.

Bloody hell. I purposely report without 'feeding trolls' by posting, and would continually report if I considered someone was trying to scam/goad/de fraud or make the lives of other posters more miserable. I thought that was Doing The Right Thing.

Though she didn't get an email telling her why she was banned so maybe MN think they have a different reason?

I got banned by mistake once. Maybe it's the same for starters.

But, yes, the reddit thread is a real eye-opener!

Do you have to register to read the Reddit thread?

I think MNHQ needs to answer this. Is it how someone reports that might get them banned? e.g. Getting too heated. Is it the number of times someone reports? Please give us the guidelines.

It's all gone to shit hasn't it?

On the subject of banned posters, no idea if i'm right but i'm sure i read something that AnyFucker was banned?

Not seen her post for a while, is this true does anyone know?
