Why are the woo and psychic threads getting deleted by MNHQ?

[wanttoknowmore]

Surely it's adult choice to post in and any abusive posts can just be deleted?

Hi wanttoknowmore,

Thanks so much for flagging this - more than happy to take a look for you.

Not too sure what threads you're referring to, but if the threads were spammy/touting for business or joining to advertise a business, then that's usually a reason why we'd zap.

If you'd like to know more about why specific threads were deleted, do let us know what the thread titles are and we'll have a dig for you.

Which threads are you on about?

[wanttoknowmore]

Thanks LornaMumsnet

Was the Psychic Development thread under Bloggers Talk

Psychic threads prey on the gullible and vulnerable.

[LornaMumsnet]

Ah yes, we zapped it as it was spam.

When people join to post like this, rather than Mumsnetting in the usual fashion, then it isn't really on. It's like a company coming along and sharing a free trial. Even though it looks like a bargain, it's advertising, which is against our talk guidelines.

Hope you can see where we're coming from and we're always happy to expand on deletions, should you ever need a bit more info. Just give us a shout!
