Clarification please

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?

@usualsuspect

So,any thread that's a bit fighty will be deleted?

Is that what MN is now.

No

We actually try very hard not to delete threads for this reason, but sometimes, in some circs, it's necessary

Hully them saying it doesn't mean it's true. But it is a personal attack. Report the post, it might get deleted.

Seriously confused now Confused

Yes, that's my fault too. I am entirely responsible for someone saying something about someone at MNHQ AND a big old liar.

@HoneyDragon

This is getting more confusing.

Am I going to be banned too?

Eh? Why would you be banned?

Theworldisbiggerthanyou · 05/12/2013 23:50

Hully. This is a forum. It has god knows how many members. There are probably a decent number of posts deleted everyday for various reasons. I would imagine some of the OP's felt this was unfair and contacted HQ via the proper and preferred channels (e-mail).

You have been stubborn and threw your teddy out of the cot and refused to follow those channels, instead you have made you annoyance very public.
This has led to another member being openly derogatory to somebody who is just doing their job. Remember Hully as members if we don't like a comment or thread we can just leave. Amy cannot just leave her job.

The way I see it Hully your threads have been deleted. Get over it.
If you had of followed proper channels then maybe Amy would not of being subjected to a personal attack by another posters.

BOF · 05/12/2013 23:50

Amy does look like my daughter, who is rather gorgeous. And, to be fair, she won't allow me to to pour neat vodka down her neck either.

I really enjoyed meeting Rebecca and Amy. Were there others there? I hope I didn't I appropriately grope any of them too.

If you are, then you all get your wish.

I can't stay and be called a liar.

Thanks for that.

So even tho I posted saying I missed the end, it wasn't a bunfight, why was it deleted? I was still being deliberately inflammatory?"

You're going to stick by that no matter what?

Fairenuff · 05/12/2013 23:48

How is 'why was my thread deleted' different to 'clarification please'?

It's still a thread about a thread that was deleted. Is this one going to be deleted too?

ButThereAgain · 05/12/2013 23:47

Seems spot on to ban someone for that comment. It was awful and as well as hurting poor Amy (who at the very worst just made a bad call) it made me and I guess others feel tainted and ashamed for being on the same thread.

But hey, don't listen to me, according to MNHQ I'm just a big fat liar. Pretty much what the twits on the first "bunfight " thread said.

@Hullygully

Asking in SITE STUFF why my thread was deleted = deliberately inflammatory?

We thought it was deliberately inflammatory to start a thread saying 'why was my thread deleted' when there was a deletion message saying very clearly that it was deleted for being a bunfight. Yes.

The second one asking why it was deleted was "delib inflamm" minty

OP posts:
Mintyy · 05/12/2013 23:45

I thought the reason given was "it turned into a bit of a bunfight" not that it was deliberately inflammatory. No wonder everyone is bewildered.

Yes Bruxeur, you were banned for saying an MNHQer was a faeces-flinging monkey. We don't think anyone on our team should have to put up with that.

Fairenuff · 05/12/2013 23:44

Where do deleted threads go to die? Can they be recalled if HQ decides they made the wrong call? Or are they never, ever wrong?

So you are still accusing me of being deliberately inflammatory?

OP posts:
ironytastic · 05/12/2013 23:42

It is evident that MNHQ apply the rules as they wish, ignoring their own guidelines and self-imposed moderation protocols when it suits.

Or else it's remarkable how I can suddenly no longer post as bruxeur, with no message or mail from MNHQ. Tried for a password reset, no email back.

So careful with your objections, peeps, the finger on the big red button is shaking and a bit lacking in self-control tonight...

IamtheZombie · 05/12/2013 23:41

Zombie agrees with Hully's post at 23.38.

Just in case (as usual) there's loads of cross posts before this goes live.
