Deleted thread?

Can anyone explain why a recent thread was deleted? It was about a London firm and the OP had submitted some questions to them regarding single sex spaces etc. I tried to find it but it's disappeared unfortunately.

I was looking for that thread too! I wonder what on earth the concerns were. Hmm.

I work at a large law firm and everything said about the town hall and the chance to submit questions had an air of truth. When I saw it had gone I wondered if the firm had been identified and that was the reason for the deletion.

The Chucked A thread? This is your regular PSA to archive such items to one of the archive services or save it as a pdf. (None of us has enough time to do this, I know. And sometimes the deletions happen quickly that we don't have time to do this.)

I wonder if @CraggyIslandTouristBoard has a copy that she'd be OK to share with you?

iirc The deletion message said something about 'doubts about the OP', it wasn't for 'breaking talk guidelines'.

Assuming it was this thread?

You can see the deletion message there.

You will find a cache of page 1 here if any of the text is helpful to those looking for template letters 😉

Was that the thread about the crowdfunders?

I agree. Someone did jump in to yell transphobe, but there was nothing against transpeople that I could see. It was about single sex spaces protected by law, and consultation with staff members.

There is obviously a lesson there though - if you see a thread with some good arguments laid out, take a copy smartish before it gets pulled.

And it's so annoying that threads now just disappear with no message. So you don't know why

Clymene · 11/06/2022 12:11

Oh no! Can anyone remember the OP's name? Her letter was excellent

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 11/06/2022 12:05

Maybe the OP had second thoughts, given the risk she might end up doxxed? It was an excellent thread. I hope someone has it archived.

I know! I thought it was really well thought out. I can't understand why it would have be deleted.

I’ve emailed to Mumsnet mods to ask why it was deleted. I couldn’t see anything wrong with it, but I suspect it was call-out as ‘transphobic’

BatDuck · 11/06/2022 11:47

Oh that’s a shame. I was planning on saving some of her letter to use with my employers too.wish I’d done it yesterday now
