Roll out the barrel
Present, no strikes that I know about
I saw a few people get deleted yesterday

I don't think we've lost anyone yet?

Present.

I think the new rules have brought a lot of us lurkers out of the shadows.

MsMcWoodle and everyone;
On Twitter (all social media as far as possible) lock down your account, check all your security settings, block DM's, use a throwaway email.
And search your IP address to see if it reveals your actual location;

✋🏽 Here

I have found myself typing out posts and then deleting them for fear of getting it wrong. I guess they’re getting what they wanted to some extent. So pleased others are still plugging away at the issues.

Yes the prolific posters could get taken out but we lurkers are legion!

Hello everyone so glad you're all still here. I'm a lurker and like others have said, feel you're all better at articulating this argument than me, but I'm reading and listening and learning.

I'm starting to share articles from Woman's Place on fb - mostly tumbleweed but hope someone might be reading.

I think it's scandalous that Mumsnet, of all places, is shutting up women because men are telling them to.

Where has Datun gone? I really miss her eloquent posts☹️

So good to see the lurkers. Very heartening. I was a lurker a very long time.

Thanks to the person who mentioned Floral bunting's post in the Saturday register or I'd never have seen it.
Such eloquence. So heartfelt. It made me cry.
Good luck to you and your daughter, floralbunting

On a completely unrelated note, pratchet - I'd love to find out from mn how many posters have been told off (or even banned) for vexatious reporting..?

Pratchet · 17/06/2018 13:11

I'd like to know that too. I reported twice. I'm annoyed by the goadiness. Also someone said that FWR 'wants trans people to not exist ' which I thought was a bit much.

Pratchet I reported the hell out of Gibberish. The next day she was nowhere to be seen but snippety had suddenly popped up so I reported the hell out of that one too. I also pointed out the style/content similarities of both.

I make the point each time that although individual posts may not breach guidelines, the pattern of the posts (essentially spamming and provoking) does.

Still here. Still trying to unlurk. I agree with what a previous poster said, I don't post because arguments are already being made more articulately than I could. But I am here and reading and learning. And I would be another voice if more articulate posters are banned.

Still here, barely posting as I don't agree with the new guidelines. No more strikes yet They'll come!

Sunday the third day since MNHQ began giving strikes to member under the three strikes and banned policy.
I have received one strike for each day the policy has been in effect, so on this the third day of the three strike policy I have one life left.

In case some are not aware, and as best as I can understand it, we are not allowed to speak of AGPs.

FYI there is a thread under site stuff bashing GC women in violation of item #3 of the new policy full of comments violating #3 of the new policy.
Women here are so used to being talked about like that I suppose they don't report because they do not realize it is against the rules for us to be bashed like that.

How do you know when you've got a strike do you get an email?

Yes, feminist women are so used to insults and criticism. I for one now shrug it off...whereas the little trans folk seem to have meltdowns. Allegedly/
