So am I understanding this correctly? The thread wasn't deleted because it was started by a troll-type person. MNHQ re read it this morning and deleted it because people were taking the piss out of said troll like person? Is that right?

Hi all,

Sorry for being unclear! We deleted it after re-reading over it - and we felt it wasn't really helping anyone. Obviously cake recipes aren't against TGs - it was more the OP post and the thread overall.

Apart from anything else, I haven't been able to make Apple Grasmere. My lunch guests are most disappointed.

I was only half-way through it. I meant to go back for inspiration for tonight's dinner.

My poor children will starve now...

MNHQ

Can you possibly elaborate on why the thread was deleted

Reports of what exactly...cake recipes?

Please and thank you

(To be fair the thread should have been deleted at the mention of a cake made with peas)

But it did seem that it had been 'reclaimed' by FWR and thats when it was deleted...not when the actual troll was there

Not the first time this has happened. My takeaway is that taking the piss is now frowned upon. Unsure how else we are supposed to respond within talk guidelines.

Indeed. We really must learn to take these things seriously and never ever take the piss. Silly women, we are.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 08/06/2018 12:32

Well exactly graine

And the thread had been an issue from the OP...so why the delay

I may have missed something....i often do

Message was "Message from MNHQ: Thanks so much for all the reports about this thread - sorry for the delay. We think it's best we take it down now."

Didn't know oats in crumble topping was that controversial.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 08/06/2018 12:21

i am very 'suspicious' of the delay

The OP disappeared and i cant see why it would have continued to be deleted
