Does MNHQ Check Our Inboxes?

Just wondering. I received a private message and sent 2 replies and now the recipient has received a message from MNHQ saying the replies were removed at my request. Except that's not true, I made no such request.

"If that's representative of the ethics of this other site I don't think I want to touch it with a barge pole"

Exactly
An early red light flashing

NM is more of a rival yet we get to talk about them.

The demographics are so different that in business (marketing/advertising) terms I don’t think NM is a direct rival.

I received four messages today from the same person which were then deleted. It is not a glitch. I think they have been hacked again.

How long until they usually let users know they have been hacked?

Are we not allowed to mention other websites anymore?

Maybe it depends how.
Spamming inboxes sounds dodgy.
I saw a couple of identical threads promoting the new site and making accusations against MN.

If that's representative of the ethics of this other site I don't think I want to touch it with a barge pole ... though maybe it's a third party shitstirrer at work.Confused

I think BanKittenHeels is probably right.

So the PMs are not being deleted because they are pornographic? I assumed it was dick pic type PMs.

Not pornographic. It’s literally just says something along the lines of “just letting you know there’s this new website called [the name of it]”

“There can’t be many members and it’s a bit off trying to poach MN members via MN’s own messaging system.”

Meh, probs no worse than getting a begging email in your private inbox. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Epique · 14/04/2020 23:50

I got the message too, saw the full message originally but it’s now been deleted as per earlier references, PP’s are correct, it was a link for the other site, I went to have a look, seems pretty interesting over there...they have an edit function... 😱😂

I’ll probably sign up to see what it’s all about tbh.

BringMeSunshineInMyLife · 14/04/2020 23:49

They’ve had multiple security breaches.

How long usually before they confess?
I remember the big one of course- how many others?

SleepyNightOwl · 14/04/2020 23:49

I posted a thread about something similar. Someone sent me a message but it says the user hid it and when I try to reply it won’t go through, even searching their name brings up nothing.

ArriettyJones · 14/04/2020 23:49

No it’s just a slicker version of Mumsnet.

What does “slicker” mean? There can’t be many members and it’s a bit off trying to poach MN members via MN’s own messaging system.

Schuyler · 14/04/2020 23:47

MNHQ have the ability to read messages, nothing is private on here. They’ve had multiple security breaches. I’m surprised people are surprised.

BringMeSunshineInMyLife · 14/04/2020 23:45

Bit weird these messages though, are we sure mn hasn't been hacked again?

Coming from 1 user sounds odd. Usually spammers just post on threads dont they? Sending so many PMs sounds very different.

LockedInMadness · 14/04/2020 23:43

What? Someone is trying to recruit members for a brand new site? By PM?

That’s a bit ambitious and vaguely like the Moldies debacle.

Not ambitious at all, apparently that new parenting site has had hundreds sign up in the last few days. Think posters were annoyed at all this premium business here and it seems many are jumping ship.

Is it an X rated site?

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 14/04/2020 23:41

I haven’t signed up to premium but the message in my inbox was deleted.

Also I had one a few days ago telling me about tattle. (Different sender) I checked and that message hasn’t been deleted. Looks like they just deleted all the ones sent by Theodoref.

BringMeSunshineInMyLife · 14/04/2020 23:39

I expect the people promoting their new site (I have no issue with it) are being banned and subsequently their messages disappear along with them.

I feel left out having not got a message!

Have I been picked last in PE again?

AgeLikeWine · 14/04/2020 23:34

This happened to me too, a few hours ago. The subject was Hello, Sorry for the out of the blue PM but if yo.

Had exactly that message myself. I was all excited about getting a message, it hardly ever happens!

Me too. The message was from a user called ‘theodoref’. When I used advanced search to look up that user’s posts, it found nothing. Most odd...

bruffin · 14/04/2020 23:34

Have all these people having their messages read and deleted signed up to premium? Or not signed up?
I got the message, but I havent signed up for premium

ArriettyJones · 14/04/2020 23:34

They report that it's growing like crazy too ...
