I think I might be a bit cross or possibly peeved.

I was on a thread yesterday that got deleted. I read it all again today and STILL cannot figure out why it was deleted and no reason was given. If it was due to the goady nature of the op, other far worse ones have stood and got bunfighty despite people saying they reported it.

You say you want us to self police - I have seen loads of excellent examples of that happening of late, especially with some of the odder trolls ops the last couple of weeks.

I think if you don't let some threads stand than the goaders get away with goading as they can keep repeatedly writing ops like this safe in the knowledge that you will delete them and any ticking off they get will be behind the scenes.

This leaves the rest of us wondering what possible reason you have for penalising the contributors to a largely harmless thread ad indulging people who continually allude to other posters being snipey bullies.

HQ I know you're busy. I know these things annoy you. But if you keep taking this course of action it will make Mnet look cliguey and like a playground. Your posts simply radiate eye-rolling at the moment. I appreciate you are fed up with the harping on, and no it's a lighthearted in your responses, but please if you are not prepared to deal with ops like this at the source and stamp it out that way, then don't get all trigger happy with the red button and cross when people want to know WTAF is going on.

I think at times you let your self be manipulated, or you certainly appear that way.

I'm sorry for being a miserable cow, but I am fed up of being on cracking threads with some really nice Mnetters only for them being deleted without reason. Sad

Tantrums it doesn't matter which thread, I don't want to look like a stirrer iyswim. But it was funny, it went on a tangent. The only way the entire thread could look like a personal attack was that the op looked daft for posting it.

Plenty of others go the same way. I really think some people are now totally taking the piss out of HQ

Right there with you.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 01/08/2012 16:55

I completely agree with you.

Cannot understand why some people seem to be able to post whatever they like, and then go whining to MN to get it all deleted. Grossly unfair, and yes you are right - MNHQ are letting themselves be manipulated.
