Why has my thread about employment been deleted?

32 replies

I’m a very old poster on MN although I do NC quite a bit. This is annoying. I wasn’t even told why.

MNHQ I was going to email you directly but I’m not sure what the best email address is.

Oh I see, thanks @LilyMumsnet for clearing that up for me!

We're so, so sorry @MoominMantra. We had a request to remove a post on his thread and it seems we removed the entire thread by mistake. Totally our bad - we've reinstated it now.

What's DofE? Duke of Edinburgh awards?

Yes. If someone doesn't like the way their thread is going they get it deleted.

Oh really @UrsulaPandress ?

I suppose MN has become so huge that they don't always have time to check background history of posters. It never used to be this trigger happy.

Very odd.

But they delete for bloody anything these days.

I see the DofE thread has gone.

Why would I have been a troll when countless people said they get paid in the same way? Confused

I'm not sure what happened later because I was on the phone. But when I went to check the thread it was gone.

I saw that thread, and the first few replies, and it was utterly innocuous then

Was there a later bunfight on it, nothing to do with you Moomim rather a colonisation by other posters?

Thump · 11/07/2019 08:22

I can't imagine how a thread about payroll could be trolling - public sector or not!
Some do-gooders would find offence at the slightest thing these days.

I thought you must have been a troll, sorry OP.

There's your answer OP. If someone reports something, they just delete these days. Stupid.

I've still received no reply from MNHQ....

I took the poster before saying they thought I was a troll meaning that the thread was deleted because I was a PBP or something...

Why? It wasn't a controversial subject.

leghairdontcare · 11/07/2019 08:08

People criticise public sector all the time on Mumsnet - never seem threads deleted because of that before.

Deletion message is:

Message from MNHQ: Apologies to all of those who have replied - we have to take this thread down for now.

But why?

HaudYerWheeshtYaWeeBellend · 11/07/2019 04:49

Even if you were criticising the public sector is MN now policing what people can and cannot criticise? Shock

I don't know what posts were directly before the deletion because I was on the phone for about half an hour. Maybe I missed something kick off Confused

Nobody criticised the public sector, as far as I know. I noticed that a lot of the people saying it had happened to them work for the LA or NHS.

If they think it's a troll they usually say 'we're looking behind the scenes'

It's really weird. And I have emailed MNHQ and they've not replied. And yet they leave threads up with a title 'what makes somebody common'

Was it the one about having to wait six weeks to get paid? If so, I wonder if it’s to do with the fact that you were criticising the public sector or somebody else criticised it. I only got to page 2.

Can you remember what posts were directly before the deletion?

serenadoundy · 11/07/2019 01:11

Weird - it has completely disappeared. If it is the thread I think it is then I posted on it, but there's no message in 'threads I'm on' to say it has been deleted or anything

This has been happening to all of my threads they get deleted, they just disappear. It's been like this for a couple of weeks at least.

CassandraCross · 11/07/2019 00:56

If it's the thread I'm thinking of it was a very innocuous thread, seems strange to have deleted it.

dreichhighlands · 11/07/2019 00:47

I thought you must have been a troll, sorry OP.
In that case I have no idea.

RosaWaiting · 11/07/2019 00:42

It’s weird

I found it interesting because I had no idea it was a norm so it’s good to know, I can watch out for it in future.

Intriguing, I'm curious too!

WatcherintheRye · 10/07/2019 23:46

Well, MNHQ? Didn't see the thread, but totally invested now!
