The next time you send an email about a poster to that poster by mistake. Probably best not to refer to your users as 'these people'

Thank you floofy Grin

Lots of TAATs where they can't be deleted I guess.

LineysRun · 23/08/2017 19:20

The OP of this thread is not a troll, not to me and not to MNHQ. So what 'these people' means is certainly not 'trolls'. It must mean something else.

SoupDragon · 23/08/2017 19:20

Oooh, nice snark there, Soupy

No, just what I thought "these people" would mean. Confused

Do you work for MNHQ perchance?

Don't be ridiculous.

Posters do need to remember though MN is a business not a charity and we don't pay to be here
There speaks a true sycophant
Guess what, we don't pay because we are the things being sold
You have surely heard the adage ' if it's free you are the product'?
Yes Mumsnet is a business and it makes a nice big profit from content which we all provide for free

Banned posters.

Saucery · 23/08/2017 19:21

I agree, Lineys. Context is everything and the context of this is dismissive and rude.

endehors · 23/08/2017 19:22

She was suspended, not banned, soupdragon.

Fact is, though, DamnFineCherryPie, their communication systems aren't secure, even if you leave aside the circumstances of this particular poster.

Good Lord!

Saucery · 23/08/2017 19:34

I don't think they are shit. Their internal/external email procedures are a bit shit, however and need tweaking in case it happens in a case where the impact is more harmful. A Reporter email sent to the Reportee, for example, or info in a Troll sent to the suspected Troll.

leccybill · 23/08/2017 19:34

I wondered if MNHQ had perused the sub-reddit in the interests of research.

SetPhasersTaeMalkie · 23/08/2017 19:35

I don't think it's hand wringing. It's just discussing.

It is still allowed.

MetallicBeige · 23/08/2017 19:37

I'm sure HQ have had a good squiz at it. But it's a seperate forum so I doubt they're too bothered.
I suppose it saves them having to play whack a mole here, if taat are held there. If that makes sense? 😊

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 23/08/2017 19:37

Posters should just go to Reddit if it's all so hand wringingly terrible here

Tbh if it was easier to navigate I would Grin

Saucery · 23/08/2017 19:37

Still allowed, with the added frisson of wondering what mutterings are going on about it by MNHQ email.

NowtAbout · 23/08/2017 19:39

Maybe they ignore people that try and sneak back in?

SetPhasersTaeMalkie · 23/08/2017 19:39

Grin Saucery.

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 23/08/2017 19:43

Still not quite sure of the context of this but the second email is rather amusing Grin

RebeccaMumsnet · 23/08/2017 19:44

Evening all,

I'm going to go through and read this thread now but just wanted to pop in and say that we are reading this, we are aware of our mistake and did apologise to the PBP at the time. It was human error and we did massively. It was not brilliant on our part - apologies.

We do not read PMs as standard at all, we'd only look if we were concerned about a specific issue. We do have the ability to look but don't unless really necessary.

If you have any questions, please do ask and we'll get to them in a mo, just going back to read in full now.

Saucery · 23/08/2017 19:44

It's how one speaks to these people once one has been rumbled as not having paid attention when studying for one's European Computer Driving Licence.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 23/08/2017 19:45

Dame come on over , it's not all nasty.
