What are the criteria you use when permanently banning posters?

Thank you in advance. I am really shocked by this particular poster being banned.

Hi all,

Thanks for raising this.

We never issue a permanent ban without reason. We try very hard to remind users of the talk guidelines and when these are broken regularly or disregarded on the boards, we have no choice but to consider banning. We only do this when we have to, and it's never an easy choice.

We're not able to discuss individual bans but please be assured we don't make these decisions lightly, and we discuss them at length before taking any action.

@NoSquirrels

A reminder: Mumsnet is its own entity and can do whatever the fuck it likes in its own forums, within the constricts of its EULA and privacy agreement with you.

Yes, of course. But if I want to be part of this community, lending my eyeballs and fingers to the content generation, I'd like to know what rules I'm expected to operate under, and if - even if I phrase things reasonably and politely - I am likely to get banned for having an opinion that MNHQ disagrees with.

Hi OP

We try and be as fair and as even-handed as we possibly can, and we would have had lots of chats with you prior to issuing to a permanent ban, we can assure you.

We mail with regards to deletions and within these mails, we do say that continuing to break talk guidelines may lead to suspension/banning, so we'd hope that it would never come to that stage (in that we've given plenty of warning).
