A summary would be good and I might do one later but Aston, data scraping, astonishing lack of contrition…

Is that so?

Interesting.

Yep! I did an advanced search last night and today there is nothing to see!

I had wondered if tovarisch had a connection to Aston. A little surprised, though not disappointed, by the deletions.

It wasnt just on this thread, every post that new poster posted yesterday on various threads and boards has gone

Perhaps you should let Aston forensic department know they can scrape your corpse clean. Doesn't mean the rest of us winnading has to accept it.
I've always been winnading and so are all my socks. WE DO NOT CONSENT TO ASTON DATA SCRAPERS USING OUR POSTS.

This has been deleted by MNHQ for breaking our Talk Guidelines.

Women posted in their darkest hours of need to get support from other women, on a forum that by design limits how that data can be searched and doesn't have any mechanism for categorising our words.

Aston's researchers have scraped that data and stored it in a form that can be searched far more easily, including being searched by machines, and can have additional metadata, such as sentiment categories, added at will. This use of women's posts is not what they consented to and is not what they reasonably foresaw when posting about their pregnancy decisions, abusive marriages, and difficulties with raising disabled children.

You felt the need to post the same message twice, on both threads. You really want to be noticed. Are you Nicci, come to undermine the objections to your PhD student's unethical research?

You know how in the first Tom Cruise 'Mission Impossible' film they are after the NOC list (one half has the aliases and the second half has the real names of all the spies). Well imagine the Mumsnet FWR NOC list, one half is all the user names, the second half just says 'Winnading' again and again!

AstonUniversityScrapedMyCorpus · 17/05/2024 09:22

Hey everyone, it’s me, Winnading, just dropping by in one of my many alternate profiles to issue Aston University with my latest ID:

Ormally · 16/05/2024 10:58

@lonelycrone yes, this is a case of finding your people (or Winnading's multiple alter egos). Even these 2 pages show that Winnading (plural) could be possibly one of the most cracking PhD supervisors in the world, capable of literae humaniores, various branches of linguistics and philosophy, at the very least, which might out her (or him. Unlikely, but only an internet random's perception). So we still return to: what could the rest of the forum offer up?!!

Astontacious · 15/05/2024 15:49

If I decided in a couple of years (pre-publishing) they weren’t to use my data because I don’t give permission, would that be ok? How long have we got to complain and withdraw consent? Presumably it would be best for the Aston researcher to know now for the dataset?

I recommend the excellent Dictionary of the Scots Language.

I'm a quine. As we are all me, I can confidently say all the other posters on here are all wims, too. Except the trolls.

I meant a 'ding dong' as in a bust up, because Eresh was apparently gearing up for a rap battle.

Sorry about the cocks!

Can Justine not just show her photo ID and get the lot removed?

Winnading · 15/05/2024 10:42

and I have yet again, ended up with another screenful of pictures of male genitals

Ummm well that almost never happens to me, as to my socks, they'll have to represent themselves here.
