Whitehall Park School have posted an ad for themselves in Primary Education and Education. So they are getting advertising for free and Mumsnet seem to be doing nothing about.

Worse than that, it is misleading advertising from an organisation already censured in the past for false advertising by the Advertising Standards Authority.

if you think I have a point add a message here to bounce this thread, then go to the Whitehall Park thread and report the posts!

Oh and the other thread, well the only one I know about, is on "primary Education" cant post the link for some reason.

Just report to hq (click on Report on the blue stripe above their op) ... it will be zapped pretty quickly.

nlondondad · 16/05/2014 19:05

Can people go over to primary ed and complain about the thread, as it seems to have been overlooked, and I ahave already complained about it?

YANBU I have reported the primary thread

Mintyy · 16/05/2014 19:05

Report it again. It will go.

nlondondad · 16/05/2014 19:06

I di that a while back, so far it is still there.

cant imagine paid advertisers would be too happy to know that all you have to do is just post for free!

EvilTwins · 16/05/2014 19:11

Not quite sure why you don't believe me. I clicked you link. It tells me that the thread has been deleted.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 16/05/2014 19:12

You have to give mn a chance to delete. They are often busy sorting out gunfights as a first priority.

nlondondad · 16/05/2014 19:12

Ok it has now.

This bunch get my wick, they are such scam artists!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 16/05/2014 19:12

Maybe you need to clear your cache?

nlondondad · 16/05/2014 19:14

@eviltwins, there was more than one link: when I saw your message I checked, and there it was. we must have been on different links, but they are both gone now.

OP posts:
nlondondad · 16/05/2014 19:15

or maybe it WAS a cache problem...but solved anyway.
