@ZombTEE

Well I reported it but I haven't heard back from HQ, which isn't like them at all.

Probably cos we haven't got to your report yet, ZombTEE

Please bear with us.

Is this the one you're talking about that is still around?

I am about to report it to HQ as well as posting it here.

sorry my mistake, I just assumed things had changed as mn hq allowed one to stand as a lot of people had posted, I thought that meant all were allowed.

Morning. There is DEFINITELY one rule for all.

Threads started exclusively to promote a petition are not allowed - and it says this in our Guidelines.

However, we don't necessarily see them all, as MN is not a pre-moderated board.

Please do feel free to report petition threads to us and we will then zap them.

The only time when we might not is if it is a discussion about a topical issue of particular interest to MNers, and then we might do something like edit the OP to take the petition link out (so it's a discussion thread, rather than a 'sign this petition' thread).

Hope that clarifies things a bit.

No-I was agreeing with you socks! My thread was pulled but the other was left to stand (either they should all go or all stay) all that I've seen are worthy causes Smile

It isn't personal AndFanjoWasHisNameO
I just think mn hq should either allow and have a topic, or not allow.
or allow and not have a topic, I just think it is unfair to zap some and not others.

Although having just written all that and having Olivia about to pull my thread...I see a very healthy, fast moving petition thread below mine Hmm fair?

AndFanjoWasHisNameO · 17/10/2012 19:57

Blush erm really sorry....I may have accidentally put a thread up in AIBU asking people to join a group/sign a petition.
I was also going to email HQ to ask if Mumsnet would consider getting behind this cause.
Have slapped self on wrists and please remove thread if it's nortty Wink

@threesocksonathreeleggedwitch

sorry they are, I reported one a couple of weeks ago and was told it was being allowed !! so i assumed in the act of fairness that they would all be

Well, that's odd. Was it a thread started purely to puff a petition (which is not allowed) and a thread that mentioned a petition at some point as part of discussion?

@ZombTEE

When did they become allowed?

We don't allow them. Just to be clear.
