I'd like to chat about the convenience of your deletion policy to rewrite history MNHQ

Convenient deletions so that your own posts go too that's becoming common practise too. After NYE you probably mised not to do that or edit retrospectively as you agreed it was unprofessional.

Yet again we are seeing cases where one member of HQ states something then another comes and contradicts it. Are you not a little embarrassed about how incompetent you look of late?

Hopefully your advertisers aren't looking to hard at the site at present? Or is that why you don't want them to see you struggling?

Even your deletion messages have no resemblance to the context of the thread? I think the majority of incorrect speculation falls at HQs feet on the whole. Rather than site users.

I honestly don't think that they will admit anything

All I want them to say is the same as they said about the noticeboard thing.

We said the wrong thing it was a mistake and we won't do it again.

But it needs to start with yes we did say the wrong thing.

They are re writing history and treating us like we are stupid. And can't remember what was said.

The conversation was not well addressed it seems churlish to blame posters when a thread that MNHQ are on is deleted. I think gaslighting is a good term.

Certainly in her next interview Justine won't be able to laud her demographic of intelligent adults and free conversation. She'll have to promote Mumsnet as a site where we take the credit for anything positive and shutdown all other conversation.

I think HQ follow the P.H.D method of dealing with problems:

Pretend it didn't happen
Hope it dies away quickly
Don't learn from people's complaints and continue in a away which is hurting your own site.

Watching with interest.

I have used the word gaslighting.
