MNHQ Deletion Policy

935 replies

TheUterati · 30/04/2018 17:03

Earlier today the Trans Park Run thread was deleted in its entirety because SOME posts alleging cheating were deemed to be 'not in the spirit' of MN.

We have a thread about that running.

I have just been deleted on the Heather Peto thread for posting this:

"Bless..."

A post intended to be mildly dismissive.

That was deleted for breaking talk guidelines.

Give me a fucking break MNHQ.

"Bless..." gets a deletion!??!?!

TRA really have got you on a short chain, haven't they?

Surely creating an account for the sole purpose of harassing other commenters is a violation of Talk guidelines? If not then I refer you back to LangCleg's suggestion about getting some training on coercive control.

What Hygge says. That post is gloating and offensive all in one.

AngryAttackKittens · 30/04/2018 17:35

That user name is a clear statement of intent to harass other commenters. Is that now considered acceptable?

Hygge · 30/04/2018 17:34

Are you going to delete *IWillReport's" goady post as well?

KnittinKitten · 30/04/2018 17:34

That just isn’t true sophie. There are far too many instances I could mention to prove it but please don’t treat us like idiots.

LangCleg · 30/04/2018 17:33

Sophie - thanks for replying. On a couple of other threads, users have suggested that the MN mod team might benefit from training in coercive control and how it can be used to disrupt. I'm not referring to anything in particular but since this thread is particularly concerned with moderating it seemed an opportune moment to bring the suggestion to your attention.

Goady posts have always been deleted, @Knitten. As ever - it's case-by-case, but where we think a post is goady, we will delete it, yes.

sophiemumsnet

I've stopped giggling now

Why was hedges post deleted

Ive many times asked who someone is on threads...can't be arsed to google

Didnt realise it was a deletable offense

I honestly don't know who this person is and i hate googling things off mumsnet...dragon butter springs to mind

KnittinKitten · 30/04/2018 17:29

Will that be standard now across the boards on all threads now sophieMN?

SophieLMumsnet · 30/04/2018 17:26

We deleted 'bless' because it seemed goady and designed to belittle, which isn't what we're about really. We'd rather not turn this into a taat, though - there's already a thread running about park run, and we can answer further questions about that over there.

MaterialReality · 30/04/2018 17:25

Aw, bless.

AngryAttackKittens · 30/04/2018 17:22

I'm fairly certain that Trump is a not entirely sentient carrot in a wig stolen from the Muppet Show's prop department.

That is nastier than anything I've said about any trans person on Mumsnet. Does the protective comments deleted on demand umbrella apply to anyone, or just trans people?

Errol - that's pretty funny. Maybe they were objecting as the use of 'he' implies that Trump is human?

Someone got deleted for posting:

yawn

FFS.

Get a grip and stop doing a passable impression of a bunch of transmaidens.

And we fall further down the rabbit hole.

This warren is most unpleasant.

Hygge · 30/04/2018 17:17

And yet I've asked on a number of threads and in an email about how to get my old posts under former user names deleted because of that member of staff and MNHQ won't reply to me, not on threads or via the email they said we could use to raise concerns.

ErrolTheDragon · 30/04/2018 17:16

Mods do sometimes simply make mistakes - I've mentioned before having a post deleted for referring to someone as 'he'. The mod presumably didn't realise I was referring to Donald Trump not Paris lees.

So.

If Miranda Yardley has said 'bless...' would that have got a deletion?

What about if Heather had pitched up and posted 'bless...' on a thread??

The way it looks here, you are only interested in silencing one half of the debate and one type of poster.

This made up thing transphobia gets trotted out to justify deletions. But the actual misogyny involved in saying that a man can identify as a woman and thereby actually and in fact be one? THAT is misogyny, yet that counts for nothing.

OP posts:
AngryAttackKittens · 30/04/2018 17:13

Do they literally just delete anything that's reported without even looking at it?

TEST

Bless this house.

I am getting deletions here that I did not even get on FB.

THAT is saying something.

Pile ons from MRAs.

Yes, I wonder if this links back to recent events regarding moderators.
