Not a TAAT as such - more about moderation in general.

Is it just me or are MN much quicker to delete threads these days?

There have been a few examples recently where the thread had taken an odd turn - but which could have been solved by deletions or posdibly even a stern but the whole thread has been pulled, despite the thread containing useful advice.

Is this a new policy? Or are there a couple of new mods who are more likely to pull threads?

AIBU to think this is happening and it's a shame if so?

read Reddit property

What's reddit property and why would I read it?

instead of accusing people of starting threads about women

Are you denying the threads where there?

Coconutspongexo · 07/01/2018 10:26

No ones denying the threads were there

Seriously? I now get posts deleted even though I wasn’t troll hunting? Is it against guidelines to sarcastically ask why someone who apparently hates another site is not only hanging around there but then running back here to comment on it? This is exactly the sort of thing that makes me use MN less often recently, goady posters rule the roost and the rest of us can’t even question it.

Saucery · 07/01/2018 10:28

The threads were there. They were deleted as unsavoury trolling.

I’m not sure where the implication has arisen that regular users on the sub put them there themselves and like to indulge in a little ‘slut shaming’ and rape threats?

Perhaps it’s a mistake from someone who has found themselves mentioned over there, quickly skim read and got the almighty hump, and picked up on an out of the ordinary trolling attack to justify their ire.
A smidge of caution maybe needed when gauging the content of an alternative forum?

BrucesBitOnTheSide · 07/01/2018 10:31

@mumof56 think what you like but you were wrong yesterday stating that people on MNTrolls were Trolls. I explained why it was set up but you chose to ignore your error. You have more than once chosen to ignore various posters who have explained to you a Troll posted various threads last night on Reddit. The Reddit users were not discussing raping women or sluts. For clarity IT WAS A TROLL. I think your forgetting you actually ran across to MN to report the troll attack oddly enough 🙄

ClashCityRocker · 07/01/2018 10:31

I'd love to hear the conversation at MNHQ right now....

'we really need to delete this thread, it's getting out of hand.....'

'But we can't delete a thread about deleting threads! That will just prove their point!'

Weathers nice today anyway.

Gowgirl · 07/01/2018 10:33

Pretty much all of the reddit gang would have been on the drunk thread on a saturday night anyway

Commenting à la "Get a life, dickless troll"? No, that wouldn't be ironic at all.

Who is "shatters"? Confused

Saucery · 07/01/2018 10:36

You were up at that time taking screenshots of a forum you hate and make up stories about? How very odd!

CoteDAzur · 07/01/2018 10:36

I think Mumof56 is trying to turn this thread into a bunfight & get it deleted.

Let's not give her the pleasure.

Maudlinmaud · 07/01/2018 10:36

Shatters? What an unfortunate name.

BrucesBitOnTheSide · 07/01/2018 10:37

Wouldn't it be ironic if someone had screenshots of shatters and other posters commenting on those vile threads.

Come across to Reddit and discuss this there. I'm sure STRATTERS (and others you say commented) would be more than happy to converse with you.

I think you'll find they weren't discussing women deserving to be raped or sluts in the sense you mean.

Gowgirl · 07/01/2018 10:37

I think you just want your own thread, shame your not as amusing as crumbs.

Gowgirl · 07/01/2018 10:38

Hi maud!

Maudlinmaud · 07/01/2018 10:39

Hey Gow, my old mucker Grin

EdmundCleverClogs · 07/01/2018 10:39

Christinayangstwistedsista, yes I have Smile. He arrived early - my waters went Xmas night! I blame the sprouts Grin.

londonista · 07/01/2018 10:40

ClashCity .... quite!

Some very invested posters here.
I didn't even really know what Reddit was before this thread!

Christinayangstwistedsista · 07/01/2018 10:40

Let me see if I have got this right,,,MUM doesn't like Redditt, however at exactly the same time as Reddit is being trolled Mum accidentally opens Reddit, sees this an runs and tells MNHQ?

Gowgirl · 07/01/2018 10:40

Its just not the same here anymore maud, who are these people?
