@JustineMumsnet please consider reinstating LangCleg after a temporary suspension. It would help so many of us. Mumsnetters please sign!

@JustineMumsnet

We the undersigned would like to ask you to consider reinstating LangCleg after a temporary suspension, as you have done with others.

Or perhaps, consider reinstating her for a three-month trial period and then reviewing.

We know you will have realised, from the two other LangCleg threads, how much her wisdom and constant voice in support of robust safeguarding is welcomed by so many on this board. It is truly a great loss to us, and to the depth of discussion about such important matters.

We hope Justine that you might do two things:

  • Review what actually happened with LangCleg and decide whether it really was so dire that she deserves permanent expulsion, or whether perhaps there was an element of misunderstanding on your moderators' part (which Michaeel's post indicates may have happened) and, that perhaps she was being held to an inappropriately high standard compared to others
  • Review the process, so that strong voices on here are able to continue to be heard for the benefit of all Mumsnet users

Or perhaps do neither of those things, and just reinstate her because you recognise how important your other Mumsnet users find her.... I guess the equivalent of a Royal Pardon,

Please hear our voice.

And everyone on here, please do sign if you want LangCleg back - just that, a signature with any discussion continuing on the LangCleg 2 thread. A signature to say you want her back and hope that @JustineMumsnet will consider this.

Thank you - both my fellow mums netters and Justine

signed and moving it back to the top.

HandsOffMyLangCleg · 30/01/2020 17:38

Moving to the top after MN just zapped another thread that was at the core of child safeguarding.

Didn't like reference to a news story reporting the child sex offender performing at Dragtime Storytime, the video of grown men twerking with kids or reference to Desmond is Amazing.

Lang being chucked off here has made me more determined to highlight safeguarding risks everywhere I see them-comments under news articles & talking to everyone IRL about this issue.

Much as I’m enjoying being called “DuLang” (it reminds me of 1960s DooWop songs) I’d much prefer my unique username back.

I only changed it from BettyDuMonde because there were several other Bettys about and it was confusing me. I’m hella confused now!

Reinstate the original Lang and we can all change back and quit confusing each other.

PS - I miss Lass.

Love that DuLang

back when people dressed the same to appear on an album cover as to go to the office

ScrimshawTheSecond · 01/02/2020 18:49

I'm up for a singalong.

GirlDownUnder · 06/02/2020 10:28

UPDATE

I've had a final response from MN:

We're afraid that we won't be reinstating LangCleg's account.
Best,
MNHQ

I'm not going to challenge, as I know they've read all the threads, and we can't assume that this isn't Langs choice 

NumbersStation · 06/02/2020 10:45

If it had been Lang’s choice it would have read ‘Lang has chosen not to return’ or similar.

‘We’re afraid (afraid to me says sorry/not sorry in this kind of situation) we won’t (won’t so don’t push it) be reinstating Lang’s account’

Best (not wishes or regards - so not entirely polite in my eyes - just curt)

I think MNHQ has made their position quite clear that it is their decision.

drspouse · 06/02/2020 12:28

Well that's a pile of pants.

(That's not pushing it. It's expressing my opinion).

heathspeedwell · 06/02/2020 12:36

@Justine

Isn't there anything we can do to help you and the Moderators to reconsider?

The loss of LangCleg is a massive blow and I'm sure hundreds of us on here would be happy to contribute to a fund for extra training for the Mods if you think that might help?

I'm sure that when Lang mentioned the Freedom Programme Training she was genuinely being helpful. This is all a misunderstanding.

Your compassion and empathy continues to astound snow.

I have plenty of compassion for the mods, who are entitled to come to work without being abused or treated with contempt.

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 06/02/2020 14:16

"That'll go down well"

Grin That suggestion made me do a literal lol, yeah, that'll really get them wanting to immediately bring her back and not get any hackles up at all!
WanderinWomb · 06/02/2020 14:27

Seriously, you barred LangCleg the wise, fair and knowledgeable, forthright, fair, feisty .!?!?!?!

Mumsnet is a place where women talk honestly , you've got to realise anti-woman activists hate that and twitter monitors will fight til their dying breath to shut us up.

MsMcWibble · 06/02/2020 15:17

People like LangCleg drive the traffic to this site. I think it's shortsighted of Mumsnet. They should be proud of the FWR board and the posters on here.

FlaviaAlbiaWantsLangClegBack · 06/02/2020 19:32

I am really disappointed that Lang won't be back but tbf, heathspeedwell may have been sincere, but if you wanted a passive aggressive post that'd be likely to rile MNHQ, that would fit the bill nicely.
