that deletions were going to be a bit more reasonable.

I have just seen 2 deletions on a thread that totally weren;t against Talk Guidelines.

What the heck is going no?

I happen to still have a window opem, and can quote them.

It's really annoying and actually unacceptable, as it makes sane poaters look like Vipers when they're not. I thought this was going to be eradicated.

I am really saddened.

HQ?

@Nagoo

I haven't seen the deletey-ness in question, but I do think that in terms of 'since Justine said' deletions have been more reasonable. In general.

Would someone PM me so I can see for myself please please?

I have been reading, actual books! SO it's cut right down on my thread devouring rate.

Thank you, Nagoo.

@GretaGip

"You're delusional and your posts come across as unhinged btw. Just so's you know."

OK. So, in that sentence, "You're delusional" is a clear personal attack.

Hello. We do hope we are being more reasonable

But if people make personal attacks on another poster - even in retaliation to a personal attack on them - then they're breaking our Talk Guidelines too.

You're always welcome to mail in to us and ask why your post was deleted - we'll always be happy to explain.

You could have added that my post ^ was in response to a very unhinged-sounding sweary rant at Porto, followed by a frothing NEST OF VIPERS ENTITLED SCUM MN longer post.
Tsk, Ms Greta. Wink

Knock yourself out, my dove. But I think if you C&P the poster in question's unprovoked anti-MN rant, it'll pfftd again.

SuePurblybiltbyElves · 17/11/2012 21:47

Actually, I'm not that interested Grin. It doesn't really matter - twats will be twats.
But the old argument that the insulted should decide to let the insult stand is a doozy.

Yup.

Holdon.

She said she reported it herself. And fwiw, it was a babgoutoforder Personal attack. So rightfully deleted.

SueP, do you mind if I C&P?

I am interested as to why my post saying someone's post made them seem xyz were deleted, but the poster in question's comments that another poster's posts are shitty stands.
Just because we don't care enough to report? Or is there really a huge gulf between 'your shitty posts' and 'your posts make you sound unhinged' that I'm missing?

Gumby · 17/11/2012 21:44

Can you copy & paste so we can judge?

Portofino · 17/11/2012 21:43

The poster in question was very rude to me as a response to an innocent mistake on my part. I never reported it. I am happy for the posts to stand to be honest.

SuePurblybiltbyElves · 17/11/2012 21:39

I used delusional, maybe that triggered the Big Red Button.
mad as a box of frogs.

Well, yes, exactly, SueP.

IF you had been rude in retaliation, then it should say so.

But you weren't rudr, and that message should be reinstated.

I was never deleted apart from one that I still totally dispute was against TG.

It upset me, as I feel sullied, sullied I tell yuo.

I know a lot of posters don't give two hoots about their rep, but I do.

This is the sort of thing that will drive me the GoodUns away.

Sad

I don't think I ha be ever been deleted. I can't behave in real life, so it's quite refreshing really.
