To now hide AIBU & Chat after Deletion-gate.

I love MNet.

I hate this deletions crap - I can see both sides of the issue (I agree that MNet have a point in some cases, but that the goalposts have shifted slightly IMO)

But, it seems that lovely threads are being derailed, and then deleted due to one or two posters who, rather than hiding the thread, feel compelled to comment and a bun fight kicks off due to personal attacks - that MNet quite rightly judged broke their rules (again I can see both sides)

So I'm going to hide Chat and AIBU for a bit - but AIBU?!

I have no idea because I do not understand what 'deletion-gate' is?

BadgersRetreat · 30/05/2012 17:50

YADBU - they have the best threads!!!

FreeBirdsFlying · 30/05/2012 17:50

Me neither.

CarpeJugulum · 30/05/2012 17:50

People leaving, threads being deleted, threads about threads being deleted.

Posters must be reporting these threads though

ThymeLord · 30/05/2012 17:51

I can't say I have noticed anymore deletions than normal Confused

I get the feeling that lots of MN Royalty are getting more than a tad fed up and may well leave (at least for a while).

So no, YABU, but I bet it's harder than you think, you'll wonder what you are missing.

CarpeJugulum · 30/05/2012 17:52

Maybe it's a new kind of trolling and trolls are reporting threads? Grin

they can't even delete a post that breaks the talk guide lines.

PropertyNightmare · 30/05/2012 17:53

Is this a thread about a thread about a thread that was deleted that was about a deleted thread?

HRHBumpingFuglies · 30/05/2012 18:04

Diablo - I am now MN Royalty Grin

I shall not be abandoning ship however!

SoupDragon · 30/05/2012 18:05

Meh.

Do what you like.

Sparklingbrook · 30/05/2012 18:08

Hide everything. It's for the best. Grin

CarpeJugulum · 30/05/2012 18:08

Right. I've done it.

Dear god, but Active Convo's looks weird.

I'm a bit juddery and breathing heavily, but I can do this!

Can't see the point in hiding. You know it's still there, like the dog poo on the lawn. Just cos you don't look it will still stink and you'll miss all the fun

CarpeJugulum · 30/05/2012 18:14

Yeah, but I get sucked in, and my troll radar stinks.

And I spend way too much time here anyway

nilbyname - what a suggestion Grin as if any poster would inflame.
