Before this I gets deleted, too, did anything happen to make it worse in the last 50 odd posts?

I suspect it might have had something to do with one of the trolls throwing about unfounded and entirely incorrect accusations of one or other poster sending really nasty abusive messages to a male poster. I also suspect that MNHQ might have had some difficulty in deleting the trolling, given that, after about page 7, that was the main discourse. If there is a 1000 post limit on threads, it doesn't matter if that's 1000 actual useful posts or 1000 deletion messages. Given the saturation level of the two trolls posting from about half way in, it would have meant the latter half of the thread was deletion messages and disjointed replies to the trolling IYSWIM?

There was so much useful, thoughtful stuff.and people put so much effort into trying to answer the OP's questions. And some of the other contributors were providimg an object lesson in what feminists deal with on a regular basis. I am very disappointed that it has been deleted. And unless something happened in the last 30 posts I just canMtmunderstand why it was.

Suspect the latter. But the thread officially got deleted for derailment. Which is odd, given that this would seem to encourage anyone who didn't really have FWR discussion at heart.
I mean, if you know that you can get threads deleted for derailment, what's to stop you and a few friends having some sport getting MNHQ to TippEx half the board if you fancy it. Easily done- there are 50 ways to leave your lover and almost as many derailment methods, most of which got a run out on that thread.

I was kind of on it, but not much as it was just the same old same old. Did something suddenly kick off and it got pulled?

Or did one of the derailers feel bullied and complain?

I was agog. I will say no more.

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 27/10/2016 00:52

Why did it go? It wasn't particularly awful.

VestalVirgin · 26/10/2016 23:31

We could just ignore the derailers without there being a sticky thread, (we do not owe them explanations) but yes, a sticky thread would be nice, too.

JedRambosteen · 26/10/2016 23:31

Which one has vanished? There have been a few candidates of late.

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 26/10/2016 23:30

Someone suggested little message MNHQ and get it back up

Did she try that does anyone know?

RufusTheSpartacusReindeer · 26/10/2016 23:29

I think i was on it

Didnt get a deletion message though

To be honest they are all blurring into one

=(

What thread. As a chronic lurker I hate missing stuff.

Lorelei76 · 26/10/2016 23:25

Ah
Is this a thread where I said I mostly stand up?!

WhereTheFuckIsMyFuckingCoat · 26/10/2016 23:25

What was it about?

I don't see why it was deletable.

I don't think so. It was a great topic but got derailed very early on. I wonder if we should have a sticky in Feminist Chat- you know that list of common derailments on feminist subjects- e.g 1. Your topic is a trivial first world problem 2. How can I hate women, my mum's one 3. NAMALT etc etc. Then when some tenacious bloke wants to go through the derailment bingo card we can simply say , "Refer to #3" and carry on talking about whatever we were talking about.
It was a pity it derailed, it was a good subject.
