I saw that thread 4 was deleted with the message
about breaking Mumsnet guidelines.
The 3 previous threads were deleted too.

Which guidelines were broken?

But if threads aren't deleted when a poster gets banned, it just encourages the attention trolls to sign up and do it again.

Not that I'm saying that's what happened here, as obviously we have no idea - hence the OP starting this thread.

Sorry, to clarify - if OP just wanted them to be deleted "because " then they should stay as the answers might help another poster. Trolling or PBP should be deleted.

I thought it was fiction from the start. The way it was written and kept escalating, fast moving over a number of threads - it's usually a sign.

On tattle they've had it sussed as made up from the start. I didn't read any of the threads so can't comment on the content but it does seem remarkable slow of MNHQ to delete if it was fake

@Vroomfondleswaistcoat thank you

Yes - always interesting how it gets worse and worse. I read the OP of thread 2 and saw how much it had moved on from thread 1 and instantly closed it.

Somebody truly humiliated about oversharing wouldn't have posted it at all. I'm surprised it had so much traction but then again, not really that surprised.

Surely MN would notice a previously banned poster before 4000 replies on one of their posts?

I thought the mods were going to put better deletion notes going forward when they kept doing vague messages last year.

Is it a PBP, or a new troll, or privacy concerns or what? 4,000 posts means a lot of people were trying to help and offer advice. It might not have helped the OP but the advice could have helped another poster going through something similar.

If it had been true surely someone would easily have identified him, the Sunday club or the manager long before now which makes it unlikely to be real

So all 4 threads broke talk guidelines.

It sounds like the poster themself broke talk guidelines, as in they were possibly a PBP.

The MNHQ message said it broke their guidelines. They usually say if the OP requested deletion.

That's true, maybe MNHQ will clarify.

I was still only reading through part 1!
Am I allowed to ask what happened?
Even if it was bs?
I got as far as him potentially staying out all night at a strip club.

Perhaps the OP asked for it to be deleted as there were alot of identifying posts? Or the daily mail have got hold of it

That normally prompts the 'privacy concerns' explanation.

Sounds like Arsenal couldn't risk reputational harm of their star player!

Normally that sort of generic message means a PBP.

Or MNHQ have done a bit of digging into their previous posts and found glaring inconsistencies.

Annoying when they don't say though.

After 4000?
Why not say PBP?

It's very often the 2/3/4 thread sagas that end up that way.
