I know it isn't, but it really should be against the law for any shitty rags (or other websites) to lift stuff from here. Thing is, it's not just any old shit, like Leo DiCaprio is dating another model, or Andrea McLean has got married again, and so on; it's really personal, intimate, and sometimes identifying stuff.
I wish they would fuck the fuck off. I am not jumping on the bandwagon, but the Daily Mail are bleeding AWFUL. I mean, the worst of the worst when it comes to newspapers, and their 'reporters' are pure scum.
I have also known people ask to remove threads, and MN refuse, and say stuff like 'so many people have invested time in responding to it.' They really should remove them if people ask, at least occasionally. I mean if people kept doing it, then start saying no, but I don't see why they couldn't remove someone's thread now and again.
I want to post about stuff sometimes, but I won't - even under another name, as I know it will be here forever. Unless I post it in '30 days' where hardly anyone goes! Or CHAT where people do go, but you don't get such a big response.
I posted a thread in CHAT some time ago, and I got 3 responses. 
On 'relationships' it would have got a lot more responses, but there is no way to get rid of it, and I didn't want it there forever........
As I said on another thread earlier.... Introducing an 'edit' button would be a good idea. I mean the edit function only needs to be for a few minutes, just so you can correct typos and errors, or delete anything you accidentally posted. And you should be allowed say, 10 minutes to delete your thread. (In case you change your mind about it, or people start being really vile, which does happen!) Digital Spy allow you to delete stuff for up to 10 minutes or so.....
Not sure why such a simple, obvious function isn't available to be honest.
