Why have Mumsnet deleted the "Feminism: Sex and Gender discussions" from the easy "Talk" sidebar?

No it's not there - those crazy Christmas people buying all year round are though 🙄

Er....it's still there?! Just looked.

Seriously? Ffs!

Christmas has come early.

Only 242 days to go.🙄

Now that Christmas is over can we please have our link back? Please and thank you.

I’m not holding my breath.

Seems weird that “Christmas” is such a hot topic this year - enough to knock this board off the list. For at least two years, I’d always accessed this board via the Talk Topics list - it’s always been on there, never dropped off (in fact, I’ve never noticed any of the topics changing).

Probably one of the shit-hot web developers (joke) has developed an algorithm that is on par with some of the other glitchy fabulous updates that this site has delighted us with over the last six months.

as an example, new paragraphs STILL don’t start with a capital letter 🤦🏻‍♀️

Igmum · 22/10/2022 08:57

Come on MNHQ please put the link back

I've just tried to find the board to see if there was any discussion about Dylan Mulvaney meeting with Joe Biden and wearing a Don't Mess With Trans Kids top, and the overt public message that is sending across an entire platform and I can't believe they allow it...

... Only to now find that mumsnet haven't just put us in the naughty corner, they've made it absolutely impossible to find!

I'm horrified that we are so silenced when this is a real topic that deserves discussion.

If this helps….

Ahhh PIE you never fail to deliver…. 😂 shouldn’t you be over on Kiwi Farms being all outraged there or something?

SelfPortraitWithFoxInSmokingJacket · 21/10/2022 16:44

Still not sorted, is it? Can you update us, please, MNHQ?

Helleofabore · 21/10/2022 15:49

Because some of the content on this subforum may potentially give mumsnet a bad name?

Would that be the inane posts requiring suspension of reality and calls to be kind then? Because yeah, the ill conceived 'gotchas' and posts that lack a foundation in proven science would give this subform a 'bad name' if they were not refuted by logic, science and evidence.

You are right.

waterwitch · 21/10/2022 15:45

Yep, annoying for me too, and disappointing to think other people won’t be able to find this easily at a time when so many people are really starting to engage.

Still not reinstated I see - that is ridiculous and really annoying.

AutumnLeavesAreABugger · 10/10/2022 01:02

Particularly since the Femism: Sex & gender discussions have had quite a lot of traffic over the past week e.g. regarding the Mermaids trustee who has been revealed as a nonce affiliated man, and subsequent discussions.

Hi Becky, how are the topics updated?

Is this a dynamic list which automatically refreshes itself from activity over the past day/week from posting and thread volumes or is this a human being making decisions based on a mix of stats and perceptions? If its human/manual process how often is it being updated?

Show quote history

Yes, how are topics updated, and how did Feminism get deleted, but "Baby Names" remains?

Hi @BrrrGettingColder thanks for posting. As we explained on the Site Stuff thread, the boards are updated periodically to reflect the most popular boards at that time - they'll likely change again in a few months. There's certainly no sinister motive or any attempt to silence discussions.

I delete my browser history and don't log into mumsnet when on my desktop, and I always used the sidebar to get to this board. It's really annoying.

Cailin66 · 08/10/2022 07:10

This action is very annoying.

Yes it is!

Floisme · 09/10/2022 08:50

I remember hostility on that board too. And some triumphalism, which is quite comical considering how little activity there is on it now.

RufustheFloralmissingreindeer · 09/10/2022 08:48

Oh and obviously im talking about mumsnet, no idea about any other forums rules, though one assumes that any problems with a poster would be met with a ban as on here

but to be honest no one would be able to tell with all the name changes on here, there are certain posters with a distinctive posting style but by no means everyone
