How long should a thread be left up after we are informed it is going to be deleted?

Because I don't think that four minutes is enough of a warning, I really don't Sad

You know it will just mean threads about threads, because people who don't press F5 every minute see what looks like a totally valid question getting wiped out.

If we are going to invoke the Olympic Spirit, may I politely suggest one that leans towards London rather than Beijing?

Low carb and low calorie Shock

Truly a most wonderful thing. But I wouldn't dilute it's wonderfulness with fruit. That's far to healthy.

Yum.

I assume that's low carb, Reality? [hopeful but deluded]

Keema, I am trying to stay away but I keep getting drawn in....

It's put me right off my tea

ChickensArentEligableForGold · 31/07/2012 21:03

Now I'm lost. The thread went poof. Did the OP return?

AmazingBouncingFerret · 31/07/2012 21:02

it was Reality AKA TheMilkyBarKid.

MyDogShitsMoney · 31/07/2012 21:00

x-post x1million, soz Blush

Yes, if whoever shared the milkybar cheesecake thing could come back and re-share that would be most appreciated!

(I also ended up having mash with cheese and beans for tea)

awwwwright sweetcheeks :)

FFS I go to put DS to bed and have a shower and more fecking pooffing!

Ok, I agree that the others should have gone I suppose but today's really shouldn't.

The OP asked for honesty and got it, yes a few posts were probably a bit near the knuckle and no-one would have complained if anything openly nasty had been deleted but on the whole it was fair and honest.

The majority of posters, me included, just told her to hold her hands up, apologise and move on, or NC and start again.

Anyway, main thing is HQ are sorting it out, they know more about this than any of us ever will and rightly so.

That's good enough for me.

QuickLookUsainBolt · 31/07/2012 20:49

Sorry about bring it up, just feel a bit sorry for her.

BuntCadger · 31/07/2012 20:45

The one i started last night wasn't about her either Sad. Anyways, moving on... Any chance of those recipes that got lost? No Sperman cake please

ohChristFENTON · 31/07/2012 20:43

Please do not talk about stepsons and wank in the same thread.

Thank you

And ArtexMonkey had never been warned before about personal attacks, Mary. Once about troll-hunting, same as you, and god knows I've had that one. So let's just hope she and MNHQ can have a chat and sort this out without any more upset, and keep it separate from the Stranded stuff, which doesn't involve her at all?

That's more for the benefit of anyone else who is confused really. I can see how all this shouty stuff has got muddled in people's minds.

wasnt about Stranded either, sorry.

OP posts:
RunYouBastardRun · 31/07/2012 20:32

Seriously, let's not get this one deleted. Her name doesn't need to come up.

Now, KY or a non-name brand?

I haven't commented on anything about Stranded. Not once. Please don't get my thread deleted by fighting, I was trying to help get things sorted out. This thread isn't about Stranded, the thread referred to in it was a thread about Stranded either.

BuntCadger · 31/07/2012 20:32

Can we just not go there as this will go poof

NagooingForGold · 31/07/2012 20:32

if it was enough jizz to be mistaken for a Herman then I'm fucking impressed.

Just one question about something else since I was letting the side down by looking after my kids, did the OP come back before it went poof?
