AIBU to think that any coverage of her disappearance is a good thing. I watched two episodes of the Netflix programme and think that if it were to bring her back into the spotlight, then surely it’s worthwhile? I’m on my own in that opinion here in our house.

Hi everyone,

Just to reiterate - there isn't a blanket ban on mentioning the McCanns on MN, it's an open case of a missing child and of course can be discussed. However, please do keep in mind that the McCanns are real parents who have lost a child; we hope we can all agree that we wouldn't wish that on anyone.

We'd like to remind all of our talk guidelines; we will delete posts that we feel are parent-blaming or seriously unpleasant; which just isn't the spirit of the site. We're here to make parents lives easier and are chiefly a place of support. We must ask folks to avoid speculation, too. Similarly, if we make so many deletions that the thread resembles swiss cheese, we will delete it.

If anyone spots any posts that they think we should take a look at, please do report them to us.

Hi folks

Can we please remind everyone that whilst it's fine to discuss the documentary, it's not okay to speculate.

Just copying over what @michaelmumsnet said on the other thread that was removed, 'Feel free to discuss the documentary - but above all else, please bear in mind that we're a parenting site and at the centre of the story are two parents who lost a child - we'll remove posts that cross the line into blame and speculation.'

Thanks all.

Just to also add - can we draw a line under some of the arguments now, please? We'd really like to get the thread back on track.

Squishee Just wanted to confirm, we are post-moderated so nothing from your post would have been deleted between you typing it and it appearing on the thread.

We have deleted some entire posts here - and one of yours was among those - but we don't have any way of editing posts before they appear online, and it's quite rare that we edit them at all, certainly not without talking to the poster concerned. If posts break guidelines we tend to delete them wholesale.

And just a reminder to everyone while we're here that while we don't mind hosting a discussion about the documentary, we will obviously have to delete any posts that are pure speculation or just not in the spirit of the site. If there are too many deletions, we will ultimately have to delete the entire thread so please do think carefully before posting.

Thanks!
