MNHQ do your advertisers know what happens here at night? Not very advertiser-friendly is it? The tabloids will be picking this up one day.

AIBU to make my DH lick my arse while I shart straight into his mouth and he swallows every drop

If I have to read that then so do you.

Do you want screenshots? I mean, they’ve already been accepted by whoever or whatever is checking them, so I can put them here, yes?

So, at what point are your advertisers going to cancel their adverts with you and start advertising on a porn site which is more family friendly than here?

I believe this is the second or third night in a row? And you don’t even pay people to monitor this?

At this point I am saying to that person you can do it all again tonight. And the next night. And…..

It’s up to @BeckyAMumsnet to up her game, or to tell Justine to actually do something.

Until then, trolls - you know you can do it again tonight if you want, yes?

🤣 I know - but when they are spamming the boards it is annoying!

Yes. Imagine having the time and ego to go all James Bond villain about your stunning ability to post spam on an unmoderated forum. I'm sure we are all a-tremble.

But - this stuff appears and stands by night. Not so much by day. So it doesn't need a Bond villain to work out that it must be harder to do this by day than by night. Moderation may not be the only way to prevent it, but signs are that moderation would work to prevent it.

Or it could be someone in a different time zone.

Could be, but I think it's unlikely that there's only one spammer like this anyway, and this isn't the first series of nighttime attacks. And it's it's clear that his posts remain undeleted for a while at night, which is less likely to happen by day. Both Mumsnet's filters and its moderation have to fail for this to happen

That appears to be my post you are quoting. Very selectively. Why not reply to what I posted rather than pick one line of it and making it about something different ?

Do you agree or disagree with the premise of my whole post ? That the effectiveness of a preventative measure can be difficult to gauge for the end user ?

There is stuff in the news often enough about "foreign actors" setting out to cause disruption, so one never really knows. A teen in California or wumao department the PRC trying to force western sites to turn up their Cloudflare settings a few notches.

I think this is why it is important to let the techies do their stuff. Because it might be random individuals or an organized attack. And I think that should affect what long term action is taken. Because a security level put in place (such as geoblocking), might affect innocent users.

Would you agree with that ? Or disagree ?

I would see nothing in that hypothesis that would prevent Mumsnet from explaining whether attacks were more prevalent at night and explaining why moderation wasn't part of their toolkit to address that, if so. So if letting tech do their thing means the current state of non-communication, I disagree.

In the same way, if Mumsnet is dealing with some new and critical risk, positing the site in its unmoderated hours as a resource for desperate people in crisis is irresponsible.

So I agree with you that we don't know all of what is going on and cannot know to what extent moderation can solve things. These are fair points and useful to make on this thread. I don't agree that this justifies letting the techies do their stuff without asking questions of Mumsnet, in particular about levels of moderation on the site.

Cool.

Quote " ... without asking questions of Mumsnet..."

I am not saying that. I am suggesting it might take time.

That's fair enough, yes

I haven't objected to anything in your post.

You made several points, and a statement that (in your opinion) follows from those points.

I made a statement which I consider equally valid, based on some different points.

@BeckyAMumsnetthe gifs I saw definitely did show sexual activity and were very offensive

These all seem excellent ideas.

Thankfully the trolling doesn't seem to be happening tonight. What a relief

Not yet anyway.

It has. I’ve already reported some.

I was just about to report they’re at it again FFS

You’d think a company with a £2.5 million take home after tax could do a better job of stopping this crap. We all know that we’re the product, we don’t need the previous CSA stuff and current crude shit postings to point out that MN is failing to protect its users.

I've reported 2 posts by Your Great Quail, clearly the same dickhead as last night, came to see if anyone else had seen the posts and find he's been in here.
How hilarious 🙄

Lied to us again. Said they sorted the gifs but today they were arguably worse than yesterday.

If this troll wasn't so annoying I'd give them a job as moderator as they know how to play/bend the system,
