Mumsnet won't delete my posts!!

I didn't know I couldn't delete my own posts, I have put some information out here and I regret it. Please tell me how I can have these deleted? I have emailed and reported the posts and they haven't been deleted! This isn't fair

Hi all, we've removed the posts concerned and are in touch with the OP directly.

@bekindandgrateful

They should delete it if you ask regardless of their opinions. This is dangerous for people who don't understand how Mumsnet works
The information about how Mumsnet works is openly posted on the site.

@a8mint

You should have thought before you posted
Have you never made a mistake?
MsHedgehog · 12/08/2021 07:14

No, I am so wrong! Sleep deprived brain got it wrong. Ignore that.

I can’t see any other posts OP. It must be deleted.

phishy · 12/08/2021 07:13

Does he have access to all your devices, OP and can see your MN posts?

It’ll be ok. I’ve seen things disappear in the middle of the night, so someone hides or deletes.

I’d never post anything you don’t want ‘out there’ screenshots can be taken, things can be shared before you can delete etc.

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 12/08/2021 03:09

They'll delete when they come on tomorrow I'm sure. I've had my whole posting history deleted in the past

Legally I don’t think they have to, the post becomes their property not yours or something like that.

Plus side, if he does see your post, he’ll see that everyone thinks he’s a pathetic loser and that you should leave him. Flowers

ShitShop · 12/08/2021 01:47

OP does your abuser know your Mumsnet name and/or password? He’s not going to search through hundreds of posts to see if he can spot himself on here.

Change your phone passcode, make sure you haven’t got the facility for people to @ you, as that will send you emails. You can turn it off in your account settings I think. But make sure that he can’t access your phone or laptop either way, as you need to be able to access support and advice without worrying that he’ll see it. Lock down your privacy settings all over.

Sadly there are so many abusive men out there and their way of operating is pathetically similar, so the likelihood of him recognising himself (especially as he’ll probably deny that he’s done anything wrong) is pretty slim, so try not to worry unnecessarily. I know what it feels like, I’ve also overshared on occasion and wished I could delete. It’s annoying but hopefully your thread will drop off the active threads if you don’t go back to it, so it will be harder for anyone to find.

NoNotMeNoSiree · 12/08/2021 01:17

Yes, agree with what @ANightWatcher said - if you link to the thread/posts you're worried about then they can act on it and delete or at least hide the thread until morning when MN get a look at it.

ANightWatcher · 12/08/2021 01:12

@GrandmasCat

If nothing is appearing in searches it may be deleted by now.
This thread doesn't appear either so.it appears to be a glitch
SamiReed1 · 12/08/2021 01:12

OP, can you give ANightWatcher the link to thread, either via PM or email?

GrandmasCat · 12/08/2021 01:11

me4real · 12/08/2021 01:02

I'm sure they'll do it soon @bekindandgrateful xxx

ANightWatcher · 12/08/2021 00:56

Looks like a glitch. I've tried a search under my NW & regular id and nothings coming up

MrsMackesy · 12/08/2021 00:56

@bekindandgrateful - you need to post the user name or thread you are concerned about here or on the thread I have started for you in 'The Night watch' so that the volunteers can help you tonight. If you don't do that, it will have to wait until MNHQ are in the office tomorrow.

RubyGoat · 12/08/2021 00:55

@MrsMackesy

Not sure what is happening but nothing is coming up at all when I search for the OP's user name - including this thread.
I've just looked & there is nothing coming up for me either. Perhaps that means the OP's other thread isn't searchable? Or a glitch.
ANightWatcher · 12/08/2021 00:53

As I said there's nothing coming up under her user name therefore even if it was putting her at risk there's not a thing we can do

MrsMackesy · 12/08/2021 00:51

@ANightWatcher

There is no point in other people reporting this it won't get it looked at quicker

There's no other thread showing up under the OPs username, however removing a thread because a poster has had a change of heart is outwith NW remit. As pp said it'll need to wait til MNHQ review it

The OP is saying she thinks the posts put her at risk - presumably from the abusive partner. I think that is in Night Watch remit to hide those posts until MNHQ can have a look tomorrow? I assume the posts or thread of concern are in a different user name to the one she is using for this thread.
