MNHQ: "We’ll also no longer use a rigid three strikes system" - Who would you want to be able to post on FWR again?

[IwantToRetire]

On this thread there have been a number of posts from MNHQ, one of which contains this statement. https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/5342469-just-checking-since-the-sc-there-is-no-such-thing-as-misgendering-on-mumsnet-or-is-there

It is only a 2 page thread, and the first post (in blue on my screen) is at the end of the 1st page with more on page 2.

Just thought some might like to suggest who has been lost and missed because of an earlier strict regime!

LangCleg.

That's the name I usually see put forward.

Maybe a compilation of contributions should be made!

I expect to be able to call a man a man - even if they are a barrister - without there needing to be a suitable reason/excuse for it.

Barraker.

Not sure how she spelled her name. She wrote Pronouns Are Rohypnol.

LangCleg. That's who I remember from the bad times. Otherwise there have been so many name changes I'm not sure who else we lost.

MaidofStars may have been another.

LangCleg.

Just because I hear about her often.

The main thing all to this absolute bullcrap has shown me is that hearing from all sides is valuable. I've learnt a lot.

The truth I hang on to : people can't change sex. Never. Ever. And build from there.

XX

LangCleg absolutely. And Barracker

Would be so happy to see Lang and Barracker on here again.

LangCleg and Barracker please
Thanks

And Dittany so I can say thank you properly.

Stephanie Hayden is a man and a convicted sex offender. I have been booted off Mumsnet twice under different accounts for stating this.

I feel bad as definitely when I first started posting on FWR, rather than just reading, there were are least 3 contributors who I learnt a lot from.

But I am so bad with names, I just cant remember them.

But thanks to them for helping make FWR not only helpful and informative, but creating a sense that there were some of us who were more clued up and willing to share.

I'd quite like the original 'Pronouns are Rohypnol' thread back.

Kellie Jay Keen please.
(and LangCleg and Barracker)

And anyone who was brigaded off by those awful controlling cry-bully men.

Definitely these three - Kellie Jay Keen LangCleg and Barracker

And there must be more!

There was a poster called Mary something - peri brain, I can't remember, but did she go over the gender nonsense?

MaryZ, iirc.

Yes MaryZ - she snook back in and started a thread a few years ago but was thrown out pretty quickly.

Yes to LangCleg and Barracker.

One of my favourite posters had ‘bunting’ as part of her user name. I think she left voluntarily because the rules pissed her off so I guess she could come back anyway if she wanted.

I do think some of them will have found other ways to work and communicate and that they might not be as keen to come back as we are to see them again.

And there was an awesome scientist - can’t remember her full user name but Babel something. I’m not sure if she was chucked out or not.

Sorry if this is daft - how do we know if a poster was banned rather than name changed? Do they retrospectively delete all old posts of a banned poster?

The fact they are men is reason enough.

We didn’t always know but sometimes other posters would report it - presumably they were in touch with the banned poster. And in some cases, eg. Langcleg, there was a big outcry and MNHQ responded, thereby confirming that she’d been banned.

All of them

Thanks for explaining. I do hope posters who have been banned under rules that have now changed can come back, but I reckon many wouldn't want to. They'll have found other platforms by now I guess.

I don't think I'd want to come back. There are some Facebook groups for example I'd never rejoin based on the stuff that got said to me at the time with regard to gender etc. That's what drove me to FWR
