Mumsnet Talk

I have reported it 3 times today, 1 before 9am.
Heard nothing from them.

What racism?

they're always really slow to remove a thread/post. it's annoying as there's no edit button. i have regretted the odd 'overshare' and asked them to delete a post and it usually takes a good while. I think they only check reported posts about twice a day.

Racism was on a thread last night.
There were 2 posters doing it.
I thought the first may have been accidental. not sure.
I left the thread and went to bed.
Poster number 1 basically repeated it again this morning.
I reported, approx 8 am. Again approx 10am, and again 1.30pm.
Heard nothing.

If they are only checking reported posts twice daily, that is not often enough.

They have now deleted 2 out of the 3. Interestingly, they said because they were personal attacks. They did not mention racism.
They have not deleted the 3rd one. I have reported it once more.

I have seen MNHQ delete racist remarks many times in the past. I think it unlikely they have changed their policy in favour of letting racism stand

Have you tried emailing them? I have always received a response when I have done this (although not always within 5 minutes, and not always the response was hoping for )

MN is humungous, they can't read every thread in real time.

what thread are you on about? link to it so we can pronounce give an opinion

yes link to it please

They have now deleted the 3rd post

I am a bit loathe to link it.
I think the op hid the thread.
The op had french connections.
2 posters were using the word frog.

so you complained, and they deleted it all within a few hours?

job's a good 'un then!

They deleted them after I started this thread.

but they have been deleted?

Yes, they are all deleted now.
They started to get deleted 20 minutes after I started this thread.

do you mean frog is racist?

What are you suggesting, that MNHQ felt somehow threatened or compelled by you starting this thread into doing something they weren't otherwise going to do?

Really?

Next time, just wait!

well then.

unless greeny's right.

hully, I used to collect frogs. I love 'em. <random>

French people? Where did you keep them?

Hully what the fuck are you doing in that Easter frock? In this weather?

It is making me twitch

I'm ahead of the curve

Is "frog" racist?

I thought it was like "kiwi" for New Zealanders or "yank" for Americans?

Pretty sure that french is not a race, by any stretch, and frog is not racist.

Good grief

I was going to say, its xenophobia, isn't it? Not racism?

No. Frogs. And toads. And spiders.
