How quick do you respond?

Ok, fact is that a lot of us going through hard times don't sleep well. And we read harsh things said to us and they hurt. They really hurt when you're already fragile.

I couldn't advocate on my own behalf so this post is not about me and I don't think it's helpful to link to the thread that has prompted this but there needs to better round the clock checking of reports.

Hope you're ok OddSocks. I can't believe how vile that one was to you (I'm not naming her).

I can't believe nobody stopped that thread, I hope you are ok this morning.

I hope you are OK Oddsocks - my thread on the matter is being removed, too.

I am so sorry that Night Watch and MNHQ failed you so badly on this. Well done to all the posters who stepped in to fill the thread and stop that horrible attack

Hope you ok oddsocks

Hope your okay odd socks 🌺

Glad you are still posting after all that Odd. Jeez what a thread. Hope you're ok

i don't even bother reporting posts during the night. nothing gets done. Mnhq make enough money . they need to employ ppeople to cover the night shift which is when most twattery takes place.

Hi Oddsocks. I didn't read the original thread but I've read others of yours in the past. Hope you are ok

Not seen your thread OddSocks but if it's gone the way mine have recently you have my full sympathy. (Thanks for standing up for me btw.)

thank you all. Glad to see you back as well Keith

I wasn't awake in the night for once but I hope MNHQ have sent you an apology for not shutting last night's thread down. I think I read that person say they were on their final warning so I hope they are now banned.

I missed it because as it happened I was feeling utterly exhausted by dealing with the aftermath of my father's death so I went to bed early - but with some bloody lovely good wishes from MNers in my head. But dear God, if I'd had a drink and been vulnerable and been on the wrong thread...

MN can and should be a supporting place. There are times, though, when as has has been said elsewhere it can give The Hunger Games a run for its money.

I think it would help for there to now be a paid overnight presence, as it's such a big site now.

You had problems with this in the early hours of Friday morning too?

The night watch are volunteers.

Mumsnet is big enough (and rich enough) that it needs to employ paid watchers overnight & at weekends.

See this for their worth:

I think they could afford to have people on duty out of hours.

Yes, I think irrespective of what happened, it's all ok and good for MN to have a paid night presence now.

I am very sorry to hear of your father's death, Liney. I know you don't know me under this nc but please accept my condolences.

Thanks, Ark. It's circle of life stuff, really. Nothing like some MN posters have to contend with.

This thread was started about comments on somebody else's thread (not aimed at me) during the night and I wanted to try to get them deleted before that OP had come back to read them.

I've just re-read the OP and it doesn't actually make much sense (my fault for posting half-asleep) but what I meant was that there needed to be something done with the night watch. I still can't type that to make sense.

I know Liney, but it's the circle of your life, so all the best x

Odd you've been through such a lot lately. Please just look after yourself. I think of you from time to time and all you've managed to come through.
