Since when are threads about dreams to subversive for MN ?

I dispair. Very amusing thread about bizarre dreams. One story actually bought tears to my eyes it was so funny. Real potential for some off the wall fun.

It's been 'deleted because of so many reports'

That is literally our thoughts and dreams being censored what the hell is going on ???

I know fontof

A couple of posters didn’t understand so lobbied MN HQ to get it deleted. The definition is a troll and the trolls won because MN HQ were half asleep.

It was just about odd dreams. That’s all.

Probably because some people get fed up clicking on a thread title that sounds like a potential genuine issue and then on page 3 discover it's someone's dream. Why not just make the thread title "Weird dream" from the outset? No harm, no foul, no need to delete.

What’s wrong with a bit of mystery?

ijustwantasofa · 06/11/2018 08:22

It wasn't page 3, it was about the OP's 3rd post that said she was asleep... I agree it shouldn't have been deleted

I am so cross about this. Just because some people have a very dull and pedestrian sense of humour , we all have to laugh the same way now ?

How do I contact MNHQ and 'lobby for a sense of humour reboot' ?

ShatnersWig here's a revolutionary idea.. if you click on a thread you don't like. Close it. Move on to another. Leave it for the people who were enjoying it rather than spoiling other people's fun by reporting completely harmless chat. !

MN is becoming po-faced and deadly.

IAmNotLikeThem · 06/11/2018 08:47

Yep - why have a category called Fun & Games if we can’t joke a little, especially during these long winter months.

ShatnersWig · 06/11/2018 08:52

I wasn't on whatever thread you're talking about. I have seen others where it wasn't until a couple of pages in that it became clear people were going on about dreams.

Anyway, surely this is a TAAT and MNHQ will presumably zap this one too?

IAmNotLikeThem · 06/11/2018 08:56

Of course they will, even though it isn’t strictly what the TAAT rules are about. The original thread broke no guidelines other than MNs own. As I said the trolls won because MN were and still are half asleep.

IAmNotLikeThem · 06/11/2018 08:57

MN breached their own rules I mean.

ShatnersWig · 06/11/2018 09:03

That's always the case. Rules are made by those in charge for everyone else to obey. They don't have to, because they're in charge. It's do as I say, not do as I do.
