@MNHQ
Why so much hate on MN?
Posters hiding behind complaints about the government, presenting themselves as reasonable actors, to push hate about asylum seekers, people with disabilities, benefit claimants..Mostly the same names all day everyday.
I am told to report - MN just not interested.
I am told to hide the thread..
Why isn't moderation better?
I know this will always exist and exists on other platforms but MN makes no effort to even try to anything about it.
You can't really sell MN as a caring, supportive site with all this stuff offered on a daily basis in active.

It is a general discussion and not aimed at particular posters. Nobody has been named or singled out. So how are TG being broken?

So troll hunting and bot accusations have to be aimed at a particular somebody? OK. I can see why you are nervous around this particular topic. Well not you, but definitely the consortium.

Go to the thread you’re talking about rather that TAAT.

No particular thread has been mentioned, it is just a general discussion imho, and a valid one. Anyway, mnhq gets to decide if this is a TAAT. Not you, not me.

Inferring that people are somebody else instead of every day women posting on a forum. Slagging people off about how much time they spend on the site and they've got no lives. So calling people sock puppets, trolls and generally being nasty - while saying there is a rise in mean posts.

You wouldn't be trying to get this discussion shut down by any chance?

No, best it's left here in the open, keeping it all in one place, instead of spilling over on to every anti Labour or anti immigration thread.

Well given I am not troll or bot hunting, no am not nervous. Not sure what the consortium is.

MNHQ get to decide lots of things but you wouldn't think that was the case.

They will certainly get to decide whether this thread stays up. Let's see.

Not very often a thread in site stuff gets taken down.

You wouldn't be being mean, would you.

Sigh.

Not sure about uncomfortable but I wasn’t surprised at your post. I think you have it wrong, but if you want to pick it up go back to that thread.

I don't want to pick it up. I want to post on this thread, pointing out things that are happening. Why does that worry you? This is a phenomenon on Mumsnet. Mumsnet is a discussion forum. We are discussing this phenomenon. You don't have to post here if you are unhappy about it.

No because Site stuff is to discuss the site. Imagine that.

It’s a vague having a go on another thread. And not even correct.

I didn't realise this section wasn't moderated. Yes, fancy.

I don't know why you think what I have said here is aimed at a particular thread. It's not. It's something I have seen on many, many threads. Hence me posting to discuss the fact that this is happening on MN in general. Please do report this thread if you are concerned, that's what the function is there for.

Perhaps to you it is. I have no idea which thread that might be tbh.

As a broad observation on the site in general, I think the OP is valid

That’s your interpretation. Site stuff is by definition about other threads.

LuckyHazelFox · 21/09/2026 21:36

Usually these threads start and then mnhq say you’ll see different views because it’s a public forum not limited to one party after all.
