So I come back to find that you have deleted my thread asking why my Santa thread was deleted.

Of course it was a thread about a thread, it was asking a question about the thread.

Wtf else is one supposed to do?

I put it in site stuff.

It was also a really nice friendly thread full of poetry and laughs. Why why why why was it deleted? What the hell is going on there?

Secondly, if one wants to talk about something, and that something has been deleted purely owing to others mischief, does that mean that one is never to talk about that subject again??

How mad is that?

exit, what would be your first port of call for a philosophical debate?

ExitPursuedByAChristmasGrinch · 05/12/2013 22:16

Because you are chucking your thoughts out into the void. Where are all the POs and the twats are waiting to suck the life from them.

I do love you Hully.

But MN would never be my first port of call for a philosophical debate.

BIWI, bless you, but they don't. If you are on the side of reporting the trolls, the beggars, the short story writers, MNHQ is not on your side. I am team Hully in this one. She has done nothing really, yet get repeatedly deleted threads. The others post their crap all over Active Conversations and no-one can do a single thing about it. I would be upset if I was her.

It is all very sad

I started my santa thread in all good faith. I was sat here, quite alone, writing about the cultural mores of a far eastern country, and it set me to wondering about cultures and beliefs etc, and specially, it being nigh on Chrimboloid, father santa, and then I fell to pondering on the nature of delusion and what part it had in our planet's condition, and I was waiting for some info so thought it would be an interesting topic of debate.

That was all.

Then I got called a lot of names including Destroyer of the Christmas Magic, then I went out to watch a very depressing film about th IRA and when I got back, the thread wa s deleted.

So today/yesterday(?) I started a thread asking why. On site stuff, so perfectly legit. A few people turned up to ask yes, why? Then we fell to talking about poetry and musing. And then that was deleted.

Now there are accusations of personal attacks etc that are simply not true, except on me.

It's just not right.

And that matters.

Usual, I don't think Artex meant that.

Have I misunderstood you?

Mintyy · 05/12/2013 22:11

Self modding is a total and absolute misnomer.

If the site is to be successfully self modded it needs some shit hot staffers at the other end of the report button making judgements on what is ok and what needs to go. And they need to be au fait with who might just be reporting because they are feeling disgruntled or bewildered or have a personal vendetta, rather than reporting because something is actually offensive and really has to go.

ShreddedHoops · 05/12/2013 22:10

Usual who's saying all regs are cunts?

youretoastmildred · 05/12/2013 22:10

carting?

ShreddedHoops · 05/12/2013 22:09

FWIW BIWI I can only remember reporting for a PA once in my time here - a long time ago, in Feminism, on a thread about Chelsea Clinton where I was accused of being a rape apologist. I reported that. Iirc Hully you were on that thread too! Long time ago. I also report all the bloody ads in S and B. I don't know if Hully personally made any PAs on the threads but there were some and that's why it was deleted. I'm not convinced by the tall Poppy answer but I would be irritated by this kind of a haranguing thread if I was in HQ.

usualsuspect · 05/12/2013 22:09

And now the 'all regs are cunt' posts have started.

Like that wasn't gonna happen.

Have to agree with Artex.

Everything Artex said.
