To be furious that my review of soft play has been deleted!

Not so long ago I visited a soft play in the croydon area (not sure if I am allowed to be mention it here?) and I had a really horrible time there due to several reasons. I made a comment on their Facebook page (a fair one) which although it was replied to, shortly afterwards it was deleted. I then made a comment on a local mums website, again I would say my comments were fair and all true. Yet again, my review was deleted! I am so livid at being censored in this way!

I don't know why you have the idea that other peoples sites owe you a soapbox? Whoever owns a domain has the right and ability to choose whatever is published on their site. Nobody has to let you proclaim your opinion, I'm not sure why you imagine they do?

So TheParanoidAndroid, when it says "write a review"......it means write something nice or we'll delete it?

oh, and whatever you do don't think that the word 'review' has anything to do with your actual opinion

Is this the soft play opposite airport house? Only I was thinking of taking DS there next week, and I don't want to go if it's cold...

cabbageandbeans · 05/02/2012 17:58

No, Rued, I don't think so. This not a large soft play

No, it means "we will decide what we want to have on our website, for whatever reason we choose"

You don't have some inalienable right to have your opinion wherever you choose, as you seem to think.

cabbageandbeans · 05/02/2012 18:46

Hmmmm interesting that you would choose to say that here on mumsnet! Lets all just log off then.

Paranoid, If everytime you made one of your comments on MN it was deleted - you would just accept it right? Please! You'd be livid too. Or maybe you would just log off. In fact why are you here at all you know "you don't have some inalienable right to have your opinion wherever you choose". thats the maddest thing I ever heard someone say!

I've had a comment deleted in the last hour actually. And since HQ own the site, they can do what they want.

The maddest thing you've ever heard is that owners of websites control the content on those websites?

Really? Thats whats known in the trade and a completely obvious fact. Like, everyone knows that.

TheParanoidAndroid · 05/02/2012 19:30

*as a fact.

People seem to think that "the internet" is one big free for all common ground. There are rules and laws and terms and conditions. Nobody has to let you write what you like all over their sites. If you can't grasp such a simple fact you shouldn't be let loose on a computer alone.
Hmm

Stupid British libel laws.

Line Runner is a murderous drug-taking goat-snagging fascist - I know you don't mind me saying that because those libel laws are just so unnecessary aren't they?

AmazingBouncingFerret · 06/02/2012 15:56

But LineRunner is a murderous drug-taking goat snagging fascist! She don't mind people telling the truth about her!

Christ, I can't remember even typing that.

What did I mean? What had I been drinking? Grin

Maybe I'd been taken over by the spirit of Ian Hislop.

cabbageandbeans · 08/02/2012 18:19

nosey! What can I say? Have you been to 'real north pole' of croydon? It is bloody freezing there! HH is correct.

I think I've come out of this looking really bad, and I don't even have a clue what's going on.
