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.

I must say I do not agree with their banning process

You just can't log in and you have no idea if you've been banned, suspended or your internet is fucked

You email them asking what's happened and they take a while replying if ever.

It's not an ideal solution at all

We have no idea what this poster did/reported/said..... mnhq will know. But obviously won't share it with us

There MUST be more to this than her just reporting a suspected troll.

DixieNormas thanks, thought i may have got wires crossed

Personally I don't give a fuck if I get banned, it's very easy to just open a new account
Well I do give a fuck because censorship it is very insulting

Insulting the people who create the content for this board is not going to make them behave and obey the management

Thanks madmags, reading now.

It's looking like mouldies 2 will be happening shortly..

Mumsnet is just in it for the ad revenue now

Sold out.

Really, for over reporting? I didn't know that was a thing. That would seem a bit much.

Also posting in support of Stratters and the need for clarification in this situation.

I think if they ban you don't they ban your IP address so that makes it hard to reregister?

And while I don't know what Stratters may have said or done I know what she's said she's done. And I believe her. I've known her for years including irl and she's one of the straightest talking people I know. If she'd done something "naughty" I reckon she would have said.

I'd like clarification too.

Just posted on the other thread that will no doubt be deleted. HQ have always been very clear that you report trolls, and they love reports.

What has changed? A poster was reportedly told by HQ to 'raise your concerns on the thread' - which is exactly the opposite to normal HQ advice.

Well this is all rather disconcerting.

Don't troll hunt.
Don't send too many reports of trolls or you'll be banned.

It makes me laugh to see that this hullabaloo isn't on the discussions of the day slot!
They think we are all going to forget about this farce and clearly seem to think least said, soonest mended which isn't correct in this case as people are out of pocket

Completely mad.

I suspect that they are having to tread very carefully, and are acting on legal advice if this individual was using their website as a medium to extract money, i.e. fraud

I suspect there is more to this

This is all madness

Quite a few long time members have been banned recently. It's crap. MN seems to be unintentionally (I hope) supporting trolls at the expense of genuine members.

It does feel that way fairgame

Oh ffs that is ridiculous. She's not a goady poster and was only doing what we are all advised to do. MNHQ sort yourselves out!

I too would like clarification. I'm someone who will report dodgy threads and posters. Will this get me banned?
