FWR being trolled by a user called AidaP

[Hedgehogforshort]

Hi MNHQ can you please address the issue of a certain poster called AidaP who is not participating in debate he is just trolling.

to be clear this person is a trans woman who has been convicted of violence and is posting promotion of acts of violence against women elsewhere.

in particular there is one elsewhere about using a roughly hewn rolling pin to rape women.

you realy need to look in to him it is just so not on that he is being allowed to bother us here.

His posts on Twitter are absolutely vile.

Yes please MNHQ-
And the name appears to suggest ..... hmmm, not sure if I can say
Just repeat the name quickly......

And here I am again being deleted at the behest of a man on the feminist board who posts acts of violence against women elsewhere including rape.

please Mumsnet stop this.

That's disgraceful.

Point of order: other users can't just request others' posts are deleted and posts aren't deleted at the "behest" of other users.

Users can only report posts which they think break talk guidelines - it's MN who makes the call on deletion. No-one else.

If you think your post has been wrongly deleted you can report your own post and ask for an explanation.

People on here are completely blind to their own behaviour. "Yeah but he disagrees with me so I am allowed to call him a paedophile".

Agree.

MN can't ban posters because of their posts elsewhere. If that poster is breaking MN guidelines then it's up to them who they ban.

Who else are you going to insist MN ban?

When a man who is out and proud about wishing to rape non-compliant women with a 'splintery rolling pin' is coming to post daily and frequently on women's rights threads, it is not likely to be just an innocent thing really.

It seems like this person is after as much notice and to cause as much trouble as they possibly can. I know it's hard to ignore somebody but seems like it's the only way if they are not banned

MN are implicitly condoning his behaviour because his violent posts elsewhere are common knowledge yet they allow him to persist trolling on here. Gross.

There have been a few high-profile posters who post things on other SM platforms which wouldn't fly on MN. I don't really know how much that influences MNs moderation of their posts.

If they were posting that they were going to come over to MN to wind people up that would be a different matter!

I think we have to be careful not to confuse disagreement / differing views for trolling.

Why don't you email MNHQ?

[email protected] would probably be the best way to contact MNHQ.

I did not e mail as a lone voice i posted here to get some support for mine and others point of view.

The issue is not as simple as 'he was threatening on another site.'

He has spent weeks on FWR calling us bigots collectively. The post he put up on blue sky was suggesting all bigots (including named people) should be violent sexually assaulted.

He has also then lied about what he posted, laughed on FWR threads that women have been distressed by the post and continues to post knowing that we know what he has said and done. The admits that he posted it. This is abusive behaviour. It is distressing to see him continue to do this.

Quite. And equally not confuse a positive expectation for everyone to discuss in good faith with accidentally silencing women who are being harassed on the grounds of their beliefs.

He also posts links to threads where OPs are asking for advice and support. Posting links is not the issue, it is that he has posted the links while then also declaring that she is hateful in someway. Posting links in that way is not being done to gather support for that poster at all.

He has also posted on that same thread on FWR with an offer to meet with the woman and have a discussion. That is a rather clear lack of boundaries and it is very concerning considering the other posts on the other site.

I agree OP. The behaviour of this poster goes way beyond a difference of opinion - he's a violent man who has specifically targeted MN and been allowed to continue.

If you want MN to respond to at thread here you need to report it. It may be “site stuff” but it is not monitored.

Hello @Hedgehogforshort thanks for posting. We understand the strength of feeling here. Allegations of violent or abusive behaviour, wherever they’re said to take place, are clearly very serious, and it’s entirely reasonable that posters would be concerned about who they’re interacting with on the boards.

It may be helpful to explain how we approach situations like this, though.
Our moderation is necessarily grounded in what happens on Mumsnet. We look at behaviour on the site, including patterns over time and we will act where users are breaching Talk guidelines. That doesn’t mean that concerns are dismissed, but the threshold for action has to be mainly grounded in what we can evidence here.

We’d also ask posters to be mindful about repeating or amplifying very serious allegations about other users on the boards. Even when well-intentioned, that can escalate situations quickly and make it harder for us to moderate fairly.

Please do continue to report posts that you think cross the line, that’s the most helpful way to bring specific issues to our attention. We are keeping an eye on this in the meantime.

Thanks all.
