I don't think I am permanently banned but it won't let me delete the tweets etc... it won't let me past the email sent for verification so I think I am screwed
Funnily enough I think one of the offending tweets was before the new rules....someone has been trawling through my timeline...well at least it stops them trying to get into women's spaces eh?

Join the naughty step!

Are you famous/ infamous on Twitter?

PutYourShirtOnMartin · 25/11/2018 21:13

The working through a hit list. Fmstomp who breaks twitter rules has seen it as there role to target anyone who not TRAs. Same as the creepy person who shut down trendsgender 1st time.

I’ve signed up to GAB as I know it’s only matter of time, but takes a while for me to get hang on new layout. Hoping someone with more techn will start up another platform that doesn’t dislike women.

PutYourShirtOnMartin · 26/11/2018 17:27

So...I have had message saying my second tweet did not go against rules. I know the first one was before the new rules so shouldn't be an issue.

So a twelve hour ban... but I still can't get in. I can only get as far as the verifying my email, which I do and that takes me back to...the 'we have sent you an email' message... round and round in circles.

Have managed to send twitter a message.. it did keep trying to take me back to the sending email message.

I am trying not to be paranoid...

I’ve had people go back through my posts on here and report them quite far back, after the rules changed.

women, shut up...

BlindYeo · 26/11/2018 18:03

It's a bit Handmaid's Tale isn't it? When banks simply froze women's bank accounts and they instantly had no independent means. Frighteningly simple.

MrsScamander · 26/11/2018 18:03

I got a ban as well, same offences. They must just search his name and any offenders are instantly blocked.

So I am banned - fuck it
sanluca · 26/11/2018 18:20

Putyourshirtonmartin, I had the same issue. 12 hour ban for saying women don't have penises. Could not get past the verify email phase. Solution: create new free email account and change your email to send verification to. Then you get past the verify email page and you can then delete the offensive tweet.

Btw, really, I can only delete the tweet after already serving the ban time? Jeez.

Pink News reporting on the Twitter policy managed to include a couple of accounts which seem to be likely part of the mass targetting and reporting as well as one suggesting how best to do it:

'Twitter bans misgendering and deadnaming in pro-trans move
byJosh Jackman 23rd November 2018,

(extract)
"Twitter has prohibited misgendering and deadnaming on its platform in an effort to curtail anti-trans abuse.

The social media company has changed its rules to ban the practices and has warned that any user who deliberately targets a trans person in these ways may face permanent suspension.

These offensive techniques—which involve using the wrong gender to refer to a trans person or a trans person’s old name—are often used on Twitter to insult and erase trans people’s identities and right to exist

“Research has shown that some groups of people are disproportionately targeted with abuse online.

“This includes; women, people of colour, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual individuals, marginalised and historically underrepresented communities,” it continues.

“For those who identity [sic] with multiple underrepresented groups, abuse may be more common, more severe in nature and have a higher impact on those targeted.”

One tweeted: “nb deadnaming and misgendering are now prohibited on Twitter. which is very good news!”

Another said: “Excellent news everyone: Twitter has finally updated their TOS such that misgendering/deadnaming a trans person is against the site’s rules. Happy hunting.”

Is the terfblocker account associated with the sprouty ones?

I’m banned too - I’m quite happy. Part of me thinks - why do i wantbto be part of something so badly moderated, sexist, lots of ists really.

Serfisafleur · 26/11/2018 20:35

I must say, that Original Conatus News tweet with the "Missing" on a carton was a stroke of genius.

Because, obviously, what actually happens to the person who was the person before they transitioned?

It's quite Freudian in some ways, a way to kill yourself without having to die. No body to dispose of. Just an insistence that we all agree the former person is somehow dead.

Serfisafleur · 26/11/2018 20:37

Wrt Twitter I only assume it will go the way of MySpace one day. Just keep talking.

traceyracer · 26/11/2018 20:55

If you're going to publicly label someone as "pedophilic" I hope you have evidence to back that up. It's a very serious allegation

MrsScamander · 26/11/2018 21:04

traceyracer there are screenshots of messages JY sent to young girls in a Makeup group on Facebook-messages asking if it's ok for JY to help 10 year old girls put tampons in and asking how JY can bond with girls in the toilets.

I would post them but I'd probably get banned. Pretty damning in my eyes.

WombOfOnesOwn · 26/11/2018 21:06

Maybe it'd be easier to present evidence of men being pedophilic if we weren't banned and suspended for displaying it.

wrongsideofhistorymyarse · 26/11/2018 21:26

I've mentioned him severance times but no hashtag. I must have flown under the radar for now.

Wasn't it just.

EmotionsDontEngageWithbrain · 26/11/2018 22:20

I guess it hasn’t occurred to Jack that once he eventually banned all these tweeters that don’t obey cult then why will companies continue to use it if audience is restricted.

I used it a lot of that purpose under my real name.

Maybe Jacks silence is due to the awkward past events of Dana McCallum a Twitter engineer

I think I am actually proud for getting banned, seeing the company I am in. Not sure if that was the endresult Twitter was looking for.

PutYourShirtOnMartin · 27/11/2018 07:34

Funnily enough the peadophilic tweet was deemed not to go against the rules...

I will try the private browser trick thanks

I have had a bog standard message this morning saying I am a nasty person and I should take my punishment and shut up

Here is their message and my response. I have had to block stuff out because....😳

Hmmmm.... who do I want to market my goods to? Mums and women who do the bulk of the shopping each week and spend thousands a year on stuff, who tend to sort the house insurance and the holidays and the kids clothes, and their clothes, and toiletries, and the car insurance and the catfood and the nappies and the new sofa.

Or TRAs - tiny in number and with a penchant for grifting?

Tough choice. But at least getting lumbered with the wifework has an upside, eh? Women control where 70p in the pound spent on the British high street/supermarket goes.

WE are your customers, lovely advertisers.

My boycott list has been a little painful (no more soft soft M and S babygrows, alas) but I will vote with my wallet. You fuck women over, you get not a single penny more from the House of Bowl. And that includes giants like Unilever who seem to be on board with this - I know you manufacture almost everything but I’ll drop every single product I can.
