to be peed off about the number of deleted threads?

[ProperLavs]

My thread choice is pretty random. I don't hang around particular boards, but loads of threads I have been on have been deleted for who knows what reasons. There have been 2 in 24 hours.
Clearly I need to hang out in gardeners' corner then there wouldn't be any issues...or would there?

It happens when complaints are made about suspected fake posts. Or sometimes the OP asks for it to be deleted because it's too outing.

I know it's a shame sometimes.

Only 2 ?

There's a Gardeners' Corner???

I don't care. Better that that people waste their time or there's a protracted bunfight.

And if someone wants their own thread deleted, that's fine too. They don't owe us anything.

But you know it's bad if Gardening is being trolled

2 in the last 24 AF. Over the last few weeks there have been loads that I have been on.

I found Gardening. I love you all!

I've noticed this too. The last one was cos someone was making offensive remarks, but there were a few others I returned to and saw that they had been deleted, with no idea why, obviously I'd missed something x

It's actually quite difficult to get your own thread deleted

Threads should never be removed. Criminal or libellous posts should be removed or edited, but the thread itself should be left. I've never seen a thread where every single post was inappropriate and it seems wrong to remove the posts which were balanced and helpful along with all the unacceptable ones.

Maybe "dodgy" threads could be bumped into a sub-forum, clearly marked so that nobody accidentally stumbles across them.

2 in 24 hrs is nothing! Bad days and there can be multiple deletions an hr! Hope HQ are enjoying a rest

Maybe I curse the threads. If I go to gardeners' corner they'll be a bun fight over a marrow . I'd best stay away.

There was an odd one before that was taken down as I was reading it.

I do wish MN would wait until I'd finished reading !

I agree that they shouldn't be taken down just because the OP hasn't got the answer they wanted. It's very annoying.

I had one on my watch list that's just completely disappeared. It's been happening a lot recently.

I don't watch that many thread so to have 2 of them disappear in a day was a feat. I have no doubt there are multiple deletions each hour.

I don't care whether the OP is narked they haven't got the answer they wanted and has had the thread taken down. I don't care that someone doesn't acknowledge I'm right and they are wrong . Maybe they don't like people disagreeing with them in general; maybe they'll think about what other people said later.

People post in a state of high emotion sometimes and they haven't thought through how they'll feel if people don't tell them what they want to hear. Also sometimes people are just too rude or hurtful to someone who's in a state.

sorry, my last post was to Courtney

Yes or because people have called troll so mumsnet deleted it rather than the posters

I think where an OP is getting flamed bullied it's ok for the OPto ask for it the deleted.

It can be upsetting if you are having an off day anyway.

Sometimes the most obviously trolling threads get left up for ages whereas other doubtful ones get deleted almost immediately ((shrugs))

It's always the deleted threads where I have posted my best replies - which is annoying, They never delete the ones where I've said something stupid or irrelevant

Off to gardening to pretend my dahlias have greenfly when they really don't.

It's trolls you're pissed odd with really, then?

Not any more - I've seen threads where the responses disagreed practically 100% with the OPs who then threw a wobbly and the threads were closed, no RL info divulged - they didn't like being told they were unreasonable.

You should be peed off with the number of trolls.

There was one removed today about the death of a cat that was really fucked up. Some of these trolls are severely disturbed.
