I'd like a thread deleted but they haven't responded. How do I go about this?

Are you sure it isnt deleted cos searching your name shows this as your only post...

Herja · 11/10/2018 21:59

I once had them refuse to remove a thread which my Ex husband I was still living with had found and was using to verbally abuse me with, both at home and he was on the thread. It was only when he tried to remove any access I had to the internet and then shut my head in a door they eventually agreed to get rid of it. I'd begged them hours earlier, it wasn't great. Apparently him finding it and being on it, putting details on it and searching my history and using the thread against me did not break their privacy guidelines. Which made me a bit sad when you consider some of the things deleted for privacy reasons. He was quoting from it screaming at me.

Herja · 11/10/2018 22:01

Which is not helpful to your circumstance, sorry OP. Turns out I'm holding more of a grudge than I thought...

You can't really get them to delete if they don't want to though.

Schuyler · 11/10/2018 22:02

How long ago did you report it?

Goatscheeseonmyknees · 11/10/2018 22:02

Oh herja I'm so sorry to hear that. I really hope things are better for you now.

hippy I name changed for this.

I think I will hide the thread. Thanks for all the input.

Yeah I am not seeing any other threads from the OP either. Hmm

thisneverendingsummer · 11/10/2018 22:03

Oh you name changed... Why?

Which thread was it?!!!

Goatscheeseonmyknees · 11/10/2018 22:05

summer I name changed. I'd like to discuss related things but without the link to my original post.

First rule of MN should be like Fight Club. Sort of. Never tell your DH/DP that it exists Grin

Goatscheeseonmyknees · 11/10/2018 22:05

summer who doesn't like goats cheese?!

OP posts:
thisneverendingsummer · 11/10/2018 22:06

Still dying to know which thread it was.

I'm gonna go have a mooch!

Goatscheeseonmyknees · 11/10/2018 22:08

summer I have absolutely no idea how to respond to that. Good night.

OP posts:
thisneverendingsummer · 11/10/2018 22:12

I'm confused. I only asked which thread it was.

Goatscheeseonmyknees · 11/10/2018 22:13

I'm confused me too, and believe me. That doesn't happen often!

I've had threads deleted before, but only when I was concerned about potential domestic abuse.

This thread has intrigued me though as to what your original one was

JellieEllie · 11/10/2018 22:17

I used to be on a group on Facebook similar to this kind of site.
If anyone deleted a thread they were immediately removed from the group.
If you can't take the heat of the flames then don't post.
Threads can go either way, I've been flamed before (rightly so) but I didn't ask for it to be deleted? Why would I? I learnt a lot from that thread and it actually helped me to see my opinions were wrong.
Stop crying about it.

theWarOnPeace · 11/10/2018 22:18

Ah but surely, this is a TAAT?? Either way, the rhythmless man thread is exquisitely bonkers, and I throughly enjoyed reading it. OP, the issue mainly stemmed from the nonsensical first post, I don’t think people were being cruel, as far as I could tell. I think you should report individual posts if they were nasty or again, broke talk guidelines.

Goatscheeseonmyknees · 11/10/2018 22:18

@throw- a complete aside but is that a reference to that lovely Elbow song?
No problems with domestic abuse here. I'd rather not draw any more attention to the original thread. I'm hoping it will be gone shortly, anyway.

OP posts:
Goatscheeseonmyknees · 11/10/2018 22:21

@jellie no one is crying. Would you like a hug? My op wasn't in a kitchen or over an open flame so no heat was involved, thankfully.

OP posts:
Schuyler · 11/10/2018 22:22

If you’ve name changed, why does it matter? You’re anon.

Goatscheeseonmyknees · 11/10/2018 22:22

Oh thanks for that @war. Wasn't sure how to do the link thing.

OP posts:
BlueThesaurusRex · 11/10/2018 22:22

@TheWarOnPeace

Nailed it!

JellieEllie · 11/10/2018 22:22

Sounds to me like you are crying about a post you made in August. You've tried to get it removed it hasn't been successful so you created a new post about the other post to again ask for it to be deleted.
Someone's bothered.

thisneverendingsummer · 11/10/2018 22:24

Thanks @thewaronpeace

Sorry OP, but you complaining about the thread not being deleted has just made more people look at it now!!
