It should not have been moved, it's a survey and not a petition.

All sorted, @BoreOfWhabylon and @ILoveAllRainbowsx

BoreOfWhabylon · 03/01/2023 12:39

@DawnMumsnet I think closing my thread would be a good idea now the original one is back in Chat. Thank you Flowers

Someone must have complained. A lot of people on MN are very anti AS.

It’s not a lot of them, they are just very vocal.

@BoreOfWhabylon and a happy new year to you, too!

As there were 113 responses to your thread (and as it took us a fair while to retrieve it!) we thought we'd reinstate it for you, even if it is now superfluous. But if you'd like us to close it (and direct people to the longer thread) just let us know.

BoreOfWhabylon · 03/01/2023 11:34

Thanks @DawnMumsnet and Happy New Year to you!

The original thread has been reinstated to Chat so mine is superfluous now

Hi @BoreOfWhabylon - we've managed to retrieve your thread, at last. So sorry for the delay. Here's the link - Parliamentary consultation on assisted dying.

BoreOfWhabylon · 02/01/2023 11:45

Any update on where my thread has gone please @MNHQ?

BoreOfWhabylon · 01/01/2023 21:07

Thanks @FlissMumsnet

Reported that my thread had vanished!

LangClegsInSpace · 01/01/2023 20:50

Thank you Fliss.

The original thread should never have been relegated to the petitions board though.

UsingChangeofName · 01/01/2023 20:49

We do appreciate the importance of highlighting this consultation.

So why move it in the first place to a board where it is far less likely to be seen ? Confused

oftener · 01/01/2023 20:34

I thought it would be a matter of time before it was moved to petitions and activism.

Someone could start a discussion thread about AD in chat or AIBU and pop the link on one of the posts, but not push it.

Hi All,

There is no agenda here - just a boring glitch which appears to have temporarily "lost" the thread somewhere in the MN ether but we're working to get it back up and reinstated to Chat.

We do appreciate the importance of highlighting this consultation.

Have reported

What?

HeddaGarbled · 01/01/2023 20:23

That's depriving people of a democratic right

It’s a chat forum 🤷‍♀️

BoreOfWhabylon · 01/01/2023 20:14

Have reported

BoreOfWhabylon · 01/01/2023 20:11

That was my thread @LangClegsInSpace and I'm getting the same result!

LangClegsInSpace · 01/01/2023 20:09

Has the thread in chat been deleted as well?

It's completely gone from TIO and I'm getting a 404 error.

This is a government consultation seeking all views from the public. It's not a petition or an activist campaign. Even FWR discussion around government consultations is not treated like this. Please reinstate the thread.

The Assisted Dying thread is NOT about a petition
CousinKrispy · 01/01/2023 18:59

Where the heck is the petitions section anyway??

Thank you for the link to the survey, which is in fact very balanced.

Ratched · 01/01/2023 18:33

I've just completed the survey - found the assisted dying thread by accident, so totally agree - this is too important a discussion ( and that's what it is) to hide away.
The irony is, the questionnaire is balanced - anyone against assisted dying has as much input as those in favour.
