I put a post up which unfortunately attracted a few mean, keyboard bullies. Some of the comments were upsetting and so I decided to delete my post, however the ONLY way to do that was to 'report' my own post. After doing so I noticed my account was then banned with a comment under my post from mumsnet stating I was a 'previously' banned member. No idea where they got that conclusion from as that was my first ever account. Emailed the admin team and no response. A site that makes bullying others easy. Admin team that don't seem to care either.

It seems there are a clique of people on this site that seem to have nothing better to do than post multiple posts of a political nature. Obviously they don't work because they post from morning until night!
Anyone who disagrees with the "hive mind" get abused, reported, put down, sworn at or generally insulted. They claim to want to have "robust discussion", which it seems means pushing anyone off the forums who doesn't agree with them.
Some posters "spam" the threads with unverified X posts designed to inflame other posters, yet if you claim about spamming they'll ban you!
Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Bunch of bullying hags who actually hate children! (Why call themselves Mumsnet)
What is the police doing, this bullying nest of vipers should be shut down.
Surely the cyber bullying is illegal?
I have now blocked the website on all my electronic devices as well as FB but took a several photos of the abuse that I'm going to use to report them.

If you dare to write a comment on their forum you get bullied by a bunch of trolls who gang up on you and retort to all sorts of nastiness such as posting poo emojis as a reply, horrible swearing and personal attacks and trolling you with all sorts of insults and accusations they can come up with.
If you find yourself in this situation, please take photos with the stamp date and report to the police, cyber bullying is criminal and shouldn't be tolerated.

Products used:
Just the website, nobody in their right mind would have paid to be bullied although apparently they do have premium paid for service (for premium abuse?)

There so soooo many women on Mumsnet who never do anything other than moan about this, moan about that, be really $#*!y, gang up in little groups slagging everyone and everything off.

I'm so happy I'm not part of the school run/mum's at the gate lot.

I've only ever posted happy funny things, like when my husband makes me laugh or our cat does something hilarious, I never use bad language and always keep my spelling/grammar reasonable, unlike a lot of them, and the amount of abuse from those old witches is unbelievable. Some of which is really quite evil. Someone will ask for advice about something so I put in a few words and I've had a load of grief from them.

I tried to log in this morning and they've decided my account is restricted and they no longer accept registrations ''The email and password you entered did not match our records. Please double-check and try again.'' And they insist my email/password isn't right even though they're the ones I originally registered with!

They actively support old hags that never do anything other than spend their days around the cauldron being nasty and witchy but they won't deal with someone like me who actively posted nothing but happy/funny things.
I can't even delete my account because of the restrictions/email;/password problems.

There's one thing I will say to them and the second word is ''off''.

You chose a log in, and a password, and you can see you are logged in under My Account. Except that is when you try to leave a message on their Talk forum. You get asked to log in again, and this goes on for five occasions, until you give up in anger...
If you want to keep your sanity, AVOID!

Mumsnet is one of the classic success stories of the internet. A few British mums (moms in America) with a little computer savvy started an online forum (www.mumsnet.com)

The forum grew and grew. The London 'Times' says it is now 'the country's most popular meeting point for parents.'

Mumsnet has grown powerful. Senior politicians now queue to be interviewed. Publishers pay court to its book reviewers. Toy and baby furniture manufacturers quake at the thought of being dammed in their product tests.

While mumsnet offers shopping, discounts, recipes, news and travel tips, its core business remains support for mums (and dads) covering pregnancy, bringing up baby to coping with teenagers. Education, general medical, special needs, legal advice – it's all there.

Very good.
