Ok, that's enough now MNHQ

Stop it with the mad deleting.

@Hullygully

Me too Shirl.

I am going to follow the guidelines To The Letter.

I expect we all are, aren't we?

Please do Hully.

@get0rfm0iland

PLEASE can someone explain the deletion for 'disingenuous'.

I cannot report the post or thread because both were bastarding deleted.

Can you tell us roughly when getorf and we can look it up? Many deletions are dependent on context and we can have a look from our end and try to explain.

@TantrumsAndBalloons

Yes tethers, you must ignore the allegedly racist person(they were racist btw) leave the thread and report. Then the thread would be full of ignorant, racist twats agreeing with each

Isn't that much better?

And then all the people who think its ok for your partner to have sex with you whilst you are asleep can all be on another thread agreeing with each other.
And so on....

Of course there will be no debate, no conflicting points of view, no actual advice but deletions either.

That reminds me of another parenting website......

We firmly believe that there can be great debate without personally attacking others.

@Thumbwitch

Dear Rebecca - tethers was implying, you were inferring. I know that another lovely PP has already had this discussion with Honeydragon earlier - it's a bugbear of mine too. :)

@ShirleyKnot

So if someone is being racist then it's a personal attack to say that they're being racist?

yes, tell us and we will delete and have a word. There is no need to call someone racist on a thread. Ignore and report.

@MyNameIsntFUCKINGWarren

How is it RACIST to infer that someone's point is like the KKK?

Do mnhq need to borrow my dictionary? It's here on my shelf next to my Bumper Book of Bollocks.

Apologies, badly worded on my part. It was removed as tethers was inferring that another poster was a racist, therefore it was a personal attack.

@tethersend

Thanks Rebecca, but I am happy to have the explanation here if that's ok?

Hi Tethers, we removed this post as it was reported for being racist.

We agreed, apologies if the inference was wrong but it read as fairly clear to us at the time and due to the subject matter of the thread.

@tethersend

"No personal attacks No posts that break the law No trolling, goading or misleading No trollhunting No spamming"

Helen, why then did I get deleted for saying someone's point shone like a burning cross on a lawn?

Mail in tethers, we will happily explain contactus @ mumsnet.com

@Pan

That's utter bollocks Rebecca, if you don't mind me saying so.....Smile. 9 out 10 old gimmer posters say so....

Sorry Pan, we try our best not to be peddlers of bollocks
We are responding to reports and reading through threads and removing posts as we have always done.

@Hullygully

Are you saying, Rebecca, that we are collectively insane and all imagining it then?

Hully, insane? Shock no, most certainly not.
But you could well be seeing it more on the longer, shall we say, more contentious threads Hully.

RebeccaMumsnet · 29/05/2012 14:22

Hello all,

As you know, our Talk guidelines have not changed very much at all in over 10 years because we think that they work pretty well - you may beg to differ Grin

We are NOT deleting more than usual at all, although we may have been deleting posts on bigger threads of late, so you may have noticed it more.

Our guidelines are fairly straight forward and we have no plans to change them. Here is the link again if you want to have a quick refresher but in short:

No personal attacks
No posts that break the law
No trolling, goading or misleading
No trollhunting
No spamming

SandyMumsnet · 29/05/2012 11:55
