3 strikes and you're out

Sorry to start this thread but I'm livid. I'm beyond livid to be fair.

I'm now on strike two and have been warned my posting privilege is at risk.

The reason for this thread is; please don't take the new guidelines at face value. I got a strike today for calling a man who presents as a woman a name NOT on the banned list. Obviously now I can't say what it was, I am effectively gagged.

I now have six weeks of no free speech until the strikes I have are wiped - again effectively gagged.

So, you won't see me much as I will NOT refer to men who present as women as the names we are allowed to call them, so will end up banned. I will post bland banal comments that can't offend any sensibilities here and let rip elsewhere where free speech is encouraged.

PLEASE, please, watch your words or MN will use this as a reason the close the FWR board.

But since I'm now aware that it breached T&C I'll bid you all good day.

Presumably you weren't being unkind to the woman in question? (if so then they may be going for 'tone' rather than words). Hard to know what to say without knowing the full story.

It's nighttime! Very clear though.

The horrible things they said to women were no mistake, GardenGeek, any more than coming back to gloat and bait the mods was a mistake.

ErrolTheDragon · 19/06/2018 01:00

Good night.

Do MNHQ send people a message when they're banned? I'd have thought they should include in that a warning not to re-register (at least within some time limit). Given the number of PBPs we get on this board either they don't, or the re-reggers don't care.

I don't think wraith/ghost 'made a mistake' either. Other than coming back after a ban, that is. It was a whole series of upsetting posts plus total derailment of a thread.

What I mean is that I read all the goady posts that the PBP made on the previous Spartacus thread.
I mean the words I wrote. That the fact that they have been doing the same thing for the past 24 hours is clear evidence there was no mistake.

How you could possible construe that to me that I am a pbp is compltely beyond me.

thebewilderness · 19/06/2018 01:09

I really am not trying to be goady when I say that.

@GardenGeek ghostwraithtesslily has had more than 6 posts deleted in the past 4 hours. When I reported the post 're I'm an infertile women like you" to a poster @MNHQ sent me a message saying that the post was indeed goady and they would take a look at the posting history.

Have a look yourself, count the deleted posts, read the answers to those posts.

No mistake was made. Ghostwraithtesslily came here with a clear and precise agenda.

R0wantrees · 19/06/2018 01:13

I have asked that the 'Im an infertile woman like you' post is reinstated. Whilst I think the poster had been goady, their comment is significant. If it is deleted, mine and other women's in this thread makes less sense.

I think this matters.

ErrolTheDragon · 19/06/2018 01:13

Bewilderness -I was baffled by that too - wonder if gardengeek, not having been on last nights thread misconstrued 'pbp, Previously Banned Poster now here wearing a sock puppet.' as you referring to yourself (though it would make no sense) rather than to the one directly before.

Feeling a bit pissed off that Christmas lovers are being silenced here. I thereby begin the GC carols in June festivities.

On the first day of christmas my true love gave to me
A baby to grow in my belly.

Probably overdue bedtime, like me. And I'm not staying around for sodding Xmas songs in flaming June bah humbug.

Amalfimamma · 19/06/2018 01:20

NewbieSpartacus I agree. They are denying our existence and literally killing us with their violence.

They are all CERFS

R0wantrees I think you're right, the pot should remain just to show the sheer hatred with which it was written

thebewilderness · 19/06/2018 01:22

ErrolTheDragon

Sorry I was not clear.
I will try to do better.
Bit pissed after seeing the sock puppet all over FWR gloating and goading.

R0wantrees · 19/06/2018 01:22

I hope that MN will consider this.
