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

271 replies

SoPassRemarkable · 07/08/2017 10:23

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.

There is a link down thread but stoopid phone wont let me copy.

MadnessAbounds · 07/08/2017 18:37

Original subreddit about recent trolling: www.reddit.com/r/MNTrolls/

New subreddit for general chat: www.reddit.com/r/TwasAllFields/

It's a bit of an odd format for a newbie like me, but I'm getting used to it fast.

You cannot namechange! If you want to keep your user name register it.

I can still pm him. His account is still active.

Well played hq.

It's totally inconsistent isn't it? A thread of mine under a different name became very very nasty - I wasn't on the receiving end of the nastiness but it was very unpleasant and I didn't see it coming at all when I started the thread. I asked HQ to delete it, explaining why, and they refused. They said if I was feeling particularly bruised I could change my name. However, I've since seen other threads where the OP hasn't liked the way it's gone, has said they're going to ask for it to be deleted, other posters have said "you can't just get it deleted just because you don't like the replies" and yet they have had their threads deleted. Whereas my thread, where people had started to say really horrible stuff about a sensitive topic (off topic from the original post) was allowed to stay as it was. Bonkers moderation.

Similarly, I have reported something that was racist and yet because it was an "in joke" that had originally been made years before, it was judged that it did not breach talk guidelines.

MNHQ do not apply any of their rules consistently.

I like Reddit .... you know it's proper fellow Mnetters over there when they're all speculating how long you've got before MNHQ banhamner you Grin

I'm bloody confused on Reddit right now. It's all pictures of dogs Confused. And I signed up with a different user name and it feels wrong.

I didn't use this name on Reddit, I don't know why, me being dense I guess. It says 'add account' can I have another account with another nn? I've tried adding but it won't work.

Any advice anyone?

Fekko · 07/08/2017 18:54

Eh, what? Banned? I reported the first thread on page one!

Saucery · 07/08/2017 18:58

Scrambled, you need the r/mntrolls subreddit

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 07/08/2017 19:01

Reddit is confusing me and has loads of dark-net-dwellers types and suck fucks

Surely it's better here people wise

Come back everyone Grin

ScrambledSmegs · 07/08/2017 19:06

Saucers, I've been on Reddit since last night Grin. I'm now subscribed to r/MNtrolls and r/TwasAllFields.

I'm on the app and my home screen is now full of pictures of dogs. It's just like here really.

Saucery · 07/08/2017 19:07

Crikey, stopshouting, which back alley did you wander down? Shock

MadnessAbounds · 07/08/2017 19:08

SanDiego, you may prefer to use another name over there anyway. If not, you may be able to delete your account and start again. Not sure how.

Name changes aren't possible though.

ScrambledSmegs · 07/08/2017 19:09

Saucers? I meant Saucery, sorry!

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 07/08/2017 19:10

Madness cheersWink.

Having to wait 10 minutes between posting is a bit of an arse isn't it Confused, I'm trying to get on a rollGrin

Saucery · 07/08/2017 19:10

S'alright, Scrambled! I just lost nearly an hour on ITAP over there. .....

Venusflytwat · 07/08/2017 19:15

If you verify your email addy that goes away Classy.

ScrambledSmegs · 07/08/2017 19:41

ITAP? What's that? I'm going to lose my life to Reddit aren't I?

Saucery · 07/08/2017 19:43

Christinayangstwistedsista · 07/08/2017 19:44

Yes, verifying it makes a big difference.
