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?

Well if u can't have a decent debate then what's the point in freedom of speech (well until it gets personal then there's no need)

It makes me sad because it's a whole bucket of raving nonsense

This all makes me sad.

As an aside I was part of a break away from another forum. It was fun for a bit but eventually imploded as it got a bit dull having the same old debates with the same people. Plus you need new blood to keep a forum going, for every couple of new twits (as you call them) you get an interesting member who contributes something to the site. It wasn't the utopia we thought it would be.

And I had no response to that.

It was good to see you too.

With all due respect, that is rubbish. Did you read the thread? The first
thread was looking for an interesting debate and got a few twits being
personally insulting (which I don't care about) but was largely fine, and
deleted for no good reason. It certainly wasn't a "bunfight." A few twits
calling me names isn't a bunfight.

The second thread was to ASK WHY and was a perfectly pleasant and nice
thread. I put it in site stuff as I was ASKING WHY the thread was deleted.
So of course it's a thread about a thread...There was very little mention of
the actual debate. It was mostly TS ELiot's poetry. You didn't read that
either, did you?

I have started a thread in site stuff asking for clarification for all of
us. Perhaps you'd be kind enough to post there.

This^^ was my reply (to save you looking).

Why was my Santa thread deleted??

^^ Look.

Not much room for misinterpretation there.

It was the title: Why was my Santa thread deleted.

Can't get clearer as to intent than that surely.

@Hullygully

if they break guidelines

fine fine

so (for the fourth time):And could you explain why a thread on SITE STUFF asking why a thread was deleted = "a thread about a thread?"

And EXACTLY HOW ELSE IS ONE SUPPOSED TO ASK THAT QUESTION?

Apologies if that was the purpose of the thread then you should have had a response.

We did send you an email, will have a look for your reply now.

How, in the name of dear sweet farther Christmas, is asking in SITE STUFF why a thread was deleted breaking guidelines?????????????

Honestly, truly Rebecca the second thread was not a rehash in any way. It was a perfectly pleasant discussion. The deletion of it was just wrong.

Amy deleted it. She also deleted the first. I don't believe she had read either.

If she had, the second at the very least, would not have been deleted.

And please answer my question.

OP posts:
HoneyDragon · 05/12/2013 20:07

Amy was a bit smuggy and rude about deleting it though.

Mintyy · 05/12/2013 20:07

Yes, people have often been silenced by the blanket deletion of threads about threads policy. In the end they get tired of trying to engage and leave Mumsnet.

HanneHolm · 05/12/2013 20:06

you are sounding rather hysterical.
a break. take one

of course it's a website.

@Hullygully

BUT THE SECOND THREAD DIDN'T

IT ASKED A VALID QUESTION AND THEN TURNED INTO POETRY

You admit you hadn't read it.

How bloody infuriating do you think that is??

And please answer:

And could you explain why a thread on SITE STUFF asking why a thread was deleted = "a thread about a thread?"

And EXACTLY HOW ELSE IS ONE SUPPOSED TO ASK THAT QUESTION?

Hully,

I may not have read it but others from MNHQ will have - I am not officially working now am training a newbie

Threads in Site Stuff do get removed as with anywhere on MN if they break guidelines.
