I think there's been a mistake with this deletion message

Here. As the OP had used made-up names and an unidentifiable situation, I can only think that the wrong reason has been selected from the drop-down menu.

I think what you really meant to click was "Thread deleted for being a creepy masturbatory fantasy from a returning troll that would only go unrecognised by the very new or the most credulous of users".

Chairs.

Morning! If I recall correctly, the OP asked for it to be deleted because there was too much identifying information in it. You're right, we do try not to delete threads wherever possible, but that, combined with the fact that it was just full of troll-hunting by the end of the thread, is probably what pushed it over to 'zap' territory I expect.

Portofino makes a good point though. Regardless of the veracity of a thread, we always ask posters to remember not to give more of themselves emotionally than they can afford to lose on any thread.

Wankfest trolls seem to abound. I fully realise that MNHQ can't make a judgement call but it would be really good if people could stop oversharing on these threads. I feel genuine dismay when I see people posting about things like abuse on what I recognise as very dodgy threads.

See how strongly my phone feels about this! Grin

Exactly. Why delete it? I thought it was general MN policy not to pull theads just because the OP got a well-deserved flaming and regretted having ever posted in the first place.

So why did you delete it then?

Hi all,

We see what you're saying about this one but we couldn't see anything to suggest the poster wasn't genuine.

We can see that the OP was a bit odd, but that alone isn't really grounds for us to delete a thread, so we're going to leave things as they are now.

tiredandsadmum · 30/06/2014 09:28

Yes I was disappointed in that message too. It was such a dreadful thread it was funny!

lettertoherms · 30/06/2014 09:19

I always skip over the obvious troll threads by the titles, but then I'm always disappointed I didn't pop in and read the OP when I see threads like this later!

Sad

It was like something in a cheap women's magazine.

Cocolepew · 29/06/2014 23:18

Oh I never read that one.

FishWithABicycle · 29/06/2014 23:09

You can tell the thread from the URL - it was The family mess that has controlled my life for over 20 years - How can I go to my daughters wedding - the OP of this thread is correct this was so obviously a troll I couldn't eve be bothered to read beyond the first few Shock Shock Shock responses.

Pancakeflipper · 29/06/2014 23:07

So many people posting to get their kicks for whatever purpose lately.

Yes, the OP was hidden by the Night Watch, I believe. MNHQ have apparently been snowed under this weekend.

I too was disappointed with the reason for deletion. Privacy issues indeed. Pah!

DottyDooRidesAgain · 29/06/2014 23:00

There's a masturbation one? Shock

There always seems to be a masturbation one. I don't know why I'm surprised. Smile

DottyDooRidesAgain · 29/06/2014 22:57

Was that the one with the OP 'hidden'?
That was clearly a weird one Confused

Pancakeflipper · 29/06/2014 22:55

Glad it's been deleted.

Is it deleted because it's total crap?
Or because they are identifiable (poor Sue)?

Cocolepew · 29/06/2014 22:54

Thought this might be the masturbation one Hmm

CelibacyCakeandElevatorMuzac · 29/06/2014 22:52

SecretWitch · 29/06/2014 22:52

Ahhhh, yes I skimmed that thread and moved right on..
