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

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.

This is depressing, Stratters has been the voice of reason on many threads

Let's start a campaign " free the Reddit One", I shall fashion some banners

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 07/08/2017 17:03

I'll print T shirts.

I've reported ageism before and was told to take it up on the thread instead. Inconsistent modding is really frustrating.

SoPassRemarkable · 07/08/2017 17:05

I don't think she would come back even if unbanned.

I don't blame her tbh.

Christinayangstwistedsista · 07/08/2017 17:06

Why the hell are they banning the good ones when there are so many arseholes about?

MN don't give a shit about their users. People think that because they love and get so much out of this place that the people behind it must love and support them right back, they absolutely do not
this^^

remember... he who pays the piper calls the tune
the money that goes into the owner's pockets comes from the advertisers, what pleases them is what goes on here.
We the posters are just a crop to be farmed and harvested

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 07/08/2017 17:09

I can't believe they've banned Stratters! She is a lovely person, and it doesn't look as if she did anything wrong.

SoPassRemarkable · 07/08/2017 17:09

I think they genuinely don't care about individuals.

If someone answers back, argues something, calls them out on something they just ban them. They will soon be replaced by numerous newbies.

It's all about numbers, users and clicks for advertising revenue.

They just want compliant people clicking away, not giving mnhq work to do.

No consideration for the individual poster who has been here for years.

Oh fuck it this thread will be deleted anyway at some point - I'll ask: was I right about the david threads then?

I don't even bother reporting any more just sigh and move on now.

RJ 👍 Unfortunately...

ShatnersWig · 07/08/2017 17:33

I've thought for some time now that the deletions have become bizarre. Things that should clearly be removed or deleted are left to stand and fairly innocuous postings removed instead.

What I find particularly galling is how often the deletion message or warning will say "not in the spirit of MN" because based on what has gotten through or been allowed to stand or other discussion closed down, I'm buggered if I know what know actually constitutes "the spirit of MN" these days. Particularly with the rewriting of history.

Which is why I've pointed out again and again that MN is a business and not some fluffy wuffy counselling charity or whatever. Nothing wrong with that in principle of course, but when things get controversial it's worth remembering exactly what you're dealing with

Personally I can't improve on the comment made by another poster: "we're not the customers - we're the product "

Mrsmartell08 · 07/08/2017 17:41

Well.
Mn won't mine any more info from me for their sponsors.

Gowgirl · 07/08/2017 17:45

I think ive got the hang of the reddit basics now.
You should go moon her Wink

PeachPearPotato · 07/08/2017 18:11

Well I had been PMing people a lot over 'the' thread, and wasn't banned and didn't receive emails about having done so. Ridiculous.

AlternativeTentacle · 07/08/2017 18:13

All this fuss is proving good traffic here. Just remember every click helps.

RJnomore1 · 07/08/2017 18:20

Wow. Triple whammy - financial emotional and sexual.

My radar is improving. I hope people who were taken in don't feel bad for their compassion.

RJnomore1 · 07/08/2017 18:21

And if any one is in touch with strangers vould you please tell her RJ/rhonda Jean as once was will miss her?

RJnomore1 · 07/08/2017 18:21

Fuxake
Stratters

Mychildcouldnotbreaatfeed · 07/08/2017 18:22

Get thee to reddit RJ

RJnomore1 · 07/08/2017 18:25

Could someone supply a link please?

Somewhere more entertaining than here would go down well TBH.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 07/08/2017 18:29

I cannot get this Reddit lark Confused

thepumpk1neater · 07/08/2017 18:29

I agree about inconsistent modding. Sometimes it seems to depend on which MNHQer you get, as to what they'll do or whether they will agree with you. Some are much better than others.
