MSE Andrea is your Rogue.

Its well know talk of the forum that if your part of MSE Andrea's little group of friends, and someone heaven forbid hurts your feelings, then you can get easy sneaky revenge.
All you have to do is PM MSE Andrea, ask her to Yellow card them even if no infraction or rule break has ever occurred or just go all out and ask for a 2 week PPR and your wish is Andrea's command.
Ofcourse this is forum whispers, but I'm starting to think its true.
Why?
Meritaten was given a 2 week PPR and didn't even break forum rules, (Etiquette is not rules and should not be enforced as "rules breaking") for offending one of Andrea's pals meritaten had a mysterious PPR not long after. This then lead to Meritaten thinking well if I'm getting a PPR for nothing then I may aswell go guns blazing because theres no clear line here any more.
and a pattern is emerging that people are being given yellow warning for virtually no reason then proceed onto PPR 2 weeks pretty quickly after having a negative encounter with MSE Andrea's little clique pals on here. This CANNOT be a coincidence There must be some truth to the whispers in my opinion something like I theorise above is going on here.
MSE staff should not be close to regular forum members, abuse of processes can happen, I think its happening with a rogue moderators, or "favours" for friends.
I demand that MSE TOWERS investigate my claims. This site has hit rock bottom, and it seems the mods and "staff" are somewhere to blame in all this.
Thanks for reading.

I've always found Andrea to be quite fair and out of all the MSE staff she is active on the forum and makes an effort to make the forum more interesting :jThis is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

Now the better response would have been.... i need a break from MSE for awhile.

Pretty low to go doing that.
If its true.
I suppose it must be in isolated incidents. But certainly not widespread.0 -

I'll admit that I'm not the most vocal supporter of how MSE Towers behave (some of the things they do just completely baffle me), but to accuse one member of the team of doing something with no real evidence presented to us is surely close to the legal line?0 -
It's always interesting to see such a clear description of a very different perspective.
At one point in the past, I wondered if the poster in question had a hotline to MSE Towers, and maybe even a buddy in there, given the amount of things that she 'got away' with - and the number of times that those who had 'offended' her ended up on a PPR, or saying that they had received a 'gentle warning'.
I guess that can't be true after all - even if Atrix's post pretty much details the way I imagined it would have worked. I guess our imaginations have more in common than we realise!
The idea that the poster in question never broke any forum rules is also very different from my own perception of matters.
Overall, however, I agree that singling out,naming, and accusing a specific member of staff wanders beyond rule-breaking, and into libel territory.
Perhaps that's why poster(s) who had previously responded to this thread appear to have removed their posts?
Well, it seems hard to believe that MSE Towers would have removed milder responses - disagreeing with the accusation in the OP, although expressing disquiet about the general approach to PPRs - yet left the OP in place.0 -
MSE staff should not be making friends, and joining in threads on a personal capacity under the umbrella of MSE staff its unprofessional.
Just like Professionals such a GP's and Nurses they should not be engaging with patients on a personal level it should remain strictly professional and this is how 99% of forums like this site operate, this site seems to be the exception to that.
I have informed MSE through the Site feedback thread and asked for an investigation. Libel being libelious is when witre something and state that something as fact that is proved not to be true, the thread is my opinion based on whispers spreading round members it did not originate from me but I merely spoke out about it.
Ofcourse MSE could remove the thread if they chose to.0 -
I don't know what went on in the Meritaten case, but i think it's wrong that yellow cards are given out without any right of reply. How many times have we heard of a long serving member having a complaint made against them by a relative newie that comes and goes leaving destruction in their wake.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

So in fact its all Chinese whispers?Its not that we have more patience as we grow older, its just that we're too tired to care about all the pointless drama0

We know who these members are, its not as if they try to hide the fact, on the contrary they mention it on their very banner. This is a community, the staff at the very least would have to be firm but fair, whether or not its to their friends.
If you have a grievance or are upset about other members posts, you can always report it. If you feel the very staff are out to get you, you can always sign up to another site.:A:dance:1+1+1=1:dance::A
