To ask why there are certain people we can’t discuss?

[FizzyPink]

Why do MNHQ continually delete posts about the same people time and again and yet others we appear to be allowed to “discuss”? Even on threads where there’s nothing out of turn or defamatory being said?

Obviously I won’t name any names but I think we all know who they are

Because they may sue mnhq

I was just thinking the exact same thing! Makes you wonder, doesn't it? 🤔

Perhaps it's because when it comes to certain people - and I can think of several - the comments quickly move away from discussion to plain old nastiness?

But surely Lauren Goodger could sue them on that thread that’s running currently?
And if that’s the case how come sites like Tattle survive when people discuss a lot worse than on here where generally it’s pretty respectful

Was it about She who must not be named? Regardless the answer is possible litigation.

If it is made plain by the owners that a person or persons are not suitable for discussions on their chatboard do you

A accept and move on

B create your own chatboard to discuss the subject/s to your satisfaction

??

She who must not be named? I understand you can't name her but any chance of a clue? Anagram? Rhyming slang? Vague hint?

Because it’s more trouble than it’s worth for MNHQ? Person in question would just slag everyone off all over social media, claim some kind of crisis for which we are all directly responsible. They’d also threaten (spurious) legal action which MN would have to defend, no matter how bogus.

If you want to live your life on social media, you gotta take the rough with the smooth.

Law suits!

Previous legal cases I imagine

Slippery - surname rhymes with bored and she is/was a baby guru, but I’m not sure anyone uses those books any longer. (Big rows on here about 12-15 years ago)

Because she's very litigious (and possibly a friend of Justine).

People have sued mumsnet before - Gina Ford being the main one.

Aside from that though, it’s because people want to have a pop at the McCanns or Jack Monroe or Sali Hughes and I’m all behind Mumsnet not allowing threads where people only want to slag them off.

Just google ‘mumsnet sued’ and hit Wikipedia.
SWMNBN is mn legend.
But yes. It’s the narcissists that track their public mentions and get their minions to make threats, because mummies have to be nice.
No one bothers pistonheads.

Argggggh pumper!

Yikes I hope not. It's out of concern that I started that thread, maybe less for LG, but more for all our of curious daughters, nieces and women in general

Because some people employ shit-hot lawyers to make threats and some don’t?
