Can I please remind all of us that attacking OP on a thread where support is needed is NOT in the spirit of MN?

I’ve seen a couple of threads recently where an OP has posted, having a really rough time and just needing a bit of support and some posters seem to take great delight in piling in and saying the most awful things, making OP feel like absolute shite, not offering anything constructive or supportive and just seem to get off on being as vile and brutal as possible.

This is a support site, when someone is experiencing MH problems, DV, abuse, or struggling with problems in their lives, they deserve and need support, advice, constructive criticism (when required) and links to places that can help. NOT to be repeatedly told they shouldn’t be a parent, shouldn’t have had children, should have their kids removed, are a shit person, failing at life and pretty much worthless.

What does that say about you if that’s your reason for living? That you’d actively seek out someone who is struggling and kick them when they’re down?

Many thanks to everyone who's posted on this thread, we just wanted to pop on to say we are listening here. We'll also make sure these thoughts and suggestions are taken onboard and given careful consideration.

We never like to hear that someone has left a thread feeling battered, bruised or worse - that's certainly not what we're here for. If this is you, and if we can help here at all, please do drop us a line.

In the meantime, while we have a think on things, please do hit report if you see anything that raises an eyebrow. That's always the quickest way for us to deal with any trolls, PAs or just general not-in-the-spirit-goadiness.

Thanks again and here's to a great 2018.
