Slowly for the slow of thinking...this is a parenting site full of mothers. On a site like that it's likely that users will be very concerned about the erosion of safeguarding and will want to talk about who's pushing for that and why. Because that's what mothers do, try to protect children. In fact that's what women who're not mothers generally do too.

Why is MN consistently trying to shut down conversations about safeguarding, with a level of deletion and banning that no other subject attracts? Who is being protected in that scenario and why? Have MNHQ even thought that part through?

PreseaCombatir · 17/11/2019 20:46

I still don’t know what I did, because no-ones bothered to let me know. Loving the transparency

Creepster · 17/11/2019 21:02

It is possible that you may have said something generally negative about the sock puppets who plot on twitter to report women on MN, Twitter, and Facebook, or possibly something in favor of safeguarding.

Agrona · 17/11/2019 21:35

Nice to see you posting again, Floral.

Sorry you were deleted. It seems that safeguarding is no longer a priority unless we are safeguarding feelings.

Creepster · 17/11/2019 21:55

The special FWR rules requiring civil debate on matters of women's rights and safeguarding have provided a road map for strategic abuse.

LangCleg · 17/11/2019 22:09

If I'm understanding this correctly, Floral has been given a strike for a sentence in a post that made a "negative generalisation". The rules say no "negative generalisations" can be made about either trans people or GC feminists.

The subject of this sentence was the monitors. This is a term used hereabouts for a small group of extreme Woke activists (some of whom are trans, some of whom are not trans) who keep up a constant monitoring of FWR for perceived wrongthink. They organise to report such instances to the mod team. We know this to be true because not only do they boast about it on Twitter, they also write blogs about it.

I am, therefore, at a loss as to why a strike has been issued. I can only think of two possible scenarios:

A: one or more members of the mod team are unable to identify the subject of a sentence written in English.

B: the monitors now form a third group about whom negative generalisations are strikeable offences on FWR but the rules have not been updated to reflect this.

Oh, there's a third!

C: we're in the Upside Down.

MNHQ - what on earth is going on?! This is a thread about the safeguarding of children on a parenting website! Sort it out!

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 17/11/2019 22:12

D: someone on the weekend moderating staff "doesn't agree" with a post so deletes them without getting the okay from another mod.
Every weekend.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 17/11/2019 22:22

And then because MNHQ considers "rudeness" towards their staff to be a severe offense they respond to our attempts to point out that odd things happen at the weekend re moderation by going "what on earth are you talking about? nothing to see here, and let us remind you that we don't allow rudeness towards our mods".

As I pointed out on the other thread it's interesting that the mod emails about deletions or strikes that are hard to defend from an objective viewpoint tend to be signed just "MNHQ" rather than with an actual name.

If anyone is being generalized about on this thread it's pedophiles. We don't like pedophiles and do indeed condemn them as a group. If we aren't allowed to do that on a parenting site then something has gone very wrong indeed.

LangCleg · 17/11/2019 22:30

I'm not being rude! I'm genuinely utterly agog!

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 17/11/2019 22:37

I'm not either, but apparently one can choose to identify someone else as rude regardless of their intentions or indeed what they actually said, based on previous HQ comments.

RufusthebewiIderedreindeer · 17/11/2019 22:40

Soooo

Mumsnet said that randoms on the internet could complain about MEMBERS of their forum

Ok...weird, but fair enough

Said internet randoms dont want to join mumsnet or contribute to any threads they just spend all their time reporting members of a forum that they are not on...or want to be on

Ok.....really fucking weird, but fair enough

And now if any comments are made in a negative manner regarding said internet randoms...that no one knows! Its a deletable offence. A strike no less

That’s really really weird

I mean there are currently threads having a pop at members of the royal family (rightly!) and thats ok......

Weird

Inebriati · 17/11/2019 22:45

I'm so confused right now - we can 'misgender' Karen White but not talk about a high profile pedophile who has attacked safeguarding and the rights of girls?
