Some mumsnet users have expressed concern about the appearance of images during overnight and the length of the site’s volunteer intermediaries during the overnight hours in the UK.
In a thread on Mumsnet after the incident, a user stated that it was “the time to reconsider the” volunteer moderation system “really after terrible photos … which I will never see”.
The user said, “The site is quite large and so far there is enough money to support a better system.”
“Actually it needs to be covered for 24-hours.”
Ms. Roberts, while defending the use of volunteer mediators overnight, said they were based abroad in different time areas “so that they could easily monitor the site”.
“I don’t think this terrible incident would have been stopped, it was in office time with our general moderation team in London,” he said.
“The key is being posted on our site for the first time and we are preventing all our efforts from reworning.”

Ms. Roberts said that the “several sets” of child abuse images were posted on the mamsnet on Sunday 23:00 GMT and on Monday 03:00.
He said that most images were removed within an hour of posting and all were taken down by 04:00 pm on Monday.

Ms. Roberts said that the company is going to meet the Metropolitan police after reporting the incident on Monday. The BBC has approached Mate for comment.
Ms. Roberts said that the company was “regularly subject to dangers and attacks from those who want to derail the conversation on the site”.
“This latest frightening event also sounds like another attempt to do so,” he said.
“In the last few years we (police calls fake calls), have been attacked by bots and faced bomb threats among other things.
“Our team is currently focusing on helping the police in its efforts to stop any kind of horrific images appearing on the site and find them in their efforts to find them.”
Ms. Roberts said that supports have been offered to the intermediaries watching images of child abuse.
Mumsnet was established in 2000 by Ms. Roberts as an internet forum for parents, so that they could swap advice. It says that now there are about nine million unique users per month.
