How does a school remove a thread on a public forum operated by (I presume) an independent party?! By way of a threat of a lawsuit?

Agree. I am from the north of England and have warned several people I know in RL away from Queen Ethelburgas after following some of the threads here and the censorship that happened. It left a bad taste in my mouth.

No school will please everyone and every school has its weak points, but trying to shut down the discussion makes a school look really bloody dodgy, seriously.

BC PR people if you are reading this, just give it a rest; you are making yourself look bad by trying to get MN to pull threads.

Debating at BC must be amazing. Don’t like what the other is saying? Shut it down😜

@CruCru I agree. Puts me off a school more than any negative comments

It really says a lot about BC that they get threads deleted

It’s weird when schools do this - it makes them look insecure. There seems to be a thread slagging off Eton every other day but they appear to be fairly indifferent.

@Sorryyoufeelthatway It was actually quite balanced tbf.

What did it say? Hot house? Gets rid of whoever they deem thickos? I went there, would not send my kids.

Dodgeitornot · 30/03/2023 09:55

BC often do this. They have a prep opening in London, can't afford negative press.

Wow, talk about censorship man! I was following the BC thread.

I was speculating; Queen Ethelburga’s were/are very efficient at getting threads deleted if they didn’t like the views expressed.

HealthConcern · 29/03/2023 22:23

Why?

Pottedpalm · 29/03/2023 22:23

Went the way of the Queen Ethelburga’s ones?
