MNHQ - please can you clarify your policy on fraud?

THREAD ON GENERAL FRAUD - please do not delete.

If someone is accused of committing fraud via MN, by several MNers.
If said MNers have a load of evidence they would like to share with you.

Do you see it as your role to investigate and forward to the police?

Or do you just want to get the site "back to normal" and take a hands off approach?

@katemumsnet please can you clarify?

The evidence was on the threads.

It's google. Not forensic detective work

Also. What about the post in the thread that said you'd gone "above and beyond" and he checked out?

KateMN, why not just lock this thread?

Mychildcouldnotbreaatfeed · 07/08/2017 21:34

It really wasn't the equivalent of.

It really really really wasn't.

That's NOT what you said.

Mychildcouldnotbreaatfeed · 07/08/2017 21:40

Kate. What about Katherine's reply to me telling me to take it to the thread?

How does that sit with report report report?

I asked about we believe you. My thread was deleted.

I could still pm him at tea time.

He's still here.

Which is puzzling

Hi Mychild

I'm going to have to do a bit more digging on this I'm afraid. I suspect this is miscommunication on our part, sorry- we'd certainly never intentionally advise a reporter to take it up on the thread . That's honestly the last thing we'd want.

Saucery - hope not to have to but will consider if we have to. Obviously we'd much rather not.

Hi Mychild - it would be great if you could mail in with links to the evidence on the threads.

Mychildcouldnotbreaatfeed · 07/08/2017 21:55

That sounds sarcastic and I don't mean it to. I know you're under pressure and I've already saved it to ask on other threads (threads now deleted and it wasn't answered)

[flowers and an apology for my tone

Mychildcouldnotbreaatfeed · 07/08/2017 21:56

How can I link to evidence on threads that are deleted?

Mychildcouldnotbreaatfeed · 07/08/2017 21:57

If you email me the transcripts of the threads I'm happy to take my own time at no cost to you and go through them and point out to you the discrepancies and where issues were raised.

But I don't think you'll do that something.

@Mychildcouldnotbreaatfeed Don't know if you realised but I think you've got your email address showing in that screenshot

SandyDenny · 07/08/2017 22:00

If you reinstate the threads but locked for futher postings I'm sure posters will be able to point out the inconsistencies/errors in medical details

Mychildcouldnotbreaatfeed · 07/08/2017 22:00

Thanks smiling I've ask hq to delete the picture

AppleBlossomTimeNow · 07/08/2017 22:05

Watching...

Mychildcouldnotbreaatfeed · 07/08/2017 22:07

Hopefully this works. And I don't reveal personal info.

Apols Mychild - of course you can't mail in links from a deleted thread. I meant just 'mail in' - sorry (late).

Mychildcouldnotbreaatfeed · 07/08/2017 22:19

But Kate. With no harm meant at all.

We did mail. We did. All weekend. Over and over.

We reported and reported and posted info and did it all.

Don't you have the threads at mumsnet ?

Mychildcouldnotbreaatfeed · 07/08/2017 22:27

Why were hq posting so sycophantically when there were already doubts raised about him ?

Why did hq post that they had gone above and beyond ?

We pointed out that what was being alleged has been done to check him out was no safeguard and yet hq still shut us down.

@Mychildcouldnotbreaatfeed

Also. What about the post in the thread that said you'd gone "above and beyond" and he checked out?

I'm coming late to the timeline, but I think that 'above and beyond' refers to a telephone conversation between a senior member of the team and that particular poster. I'll come back and confirm that tomorrow. I've also had a telephone conversation today, for what it's worth - no way to be certain but personally, I don't think it was set up. There's simply no real way to vouch 100% though, as we've said.

Mychildcouldnotbreaatfeed · 07/08/2017 22:31

But. A telephone conversation means nothing. In terms of what has gone on here

If you message me and say you need my number to ring me because you need to check that I am a pink elephant and you ring me on the number I give you and I say oh yes I am a pink elephant what has that got to do with me soliciting donations to a personal just giving page?
