Oh ffs, another thread where op, apparently 40+ posts in, realises information could be identifying so a thread posters have bothered to reply to is gone. Always seems to be when the resounding response is YABU. Funny that I'm sure I'm not the only one put off responding by this happening so often.

YANBU, a thread I commented on this morning has disappeared. Very annoying.

So annoying.

Exactly 'freckers*, total flounce. Purposely didn't identify the particular one as it is something that happens in general but if this doesn't last, least I've had my rant!

YANBU OP, this sort of thing is getting more and more ridiculous.

@Freckers if you report your post, the thread will probably stay, as long as no-one else makes it into a TAAT.

It's just happened again, tho a troll this time, so I know it's different. It's the clear 'Well, I didn't think it would go like that. Sniff.' posters that annoy me!

I'll report mine too

That wasn't confirmed. Perhaps they realised it would be identifying

I know mnhq probably can't, but if would be great if they could take a look and reply 'Well no, nothing v identifying there, the situation maybe but you as the poster, no. Thread stands

Like a VAR for the thread.

"The moderator has been advised to look at the screen, slowing it down, checking again....THREAD STANDS!"

Thing that pisses me is when a poster posts dangerous misinformation and before it can be challenged ZAP.

Exactly Freckers
At least if misinformation goes zap it's not spread.

I hate it when you're reading a thread and have offered advice and the OP asks for the thread to be removed due to 'real life concerns'.

In my opinion, you know the risks before you post. It should be a rule that Mumsnet forbid the removal of any thread, no matter what, even if someone they know are on Mumsnet and saw it. No exceptions. You take the risk to post, you know what you are doing, so too bad! Tough! Don't post at all if you are afraid of being outed. Imo that is not good enough reason for the removal of a thread. Post at your own risk, or don't post at all I say.

This happens to me a lot - I'm wondering if there's a connection to the type of thread I post on .

Equally, don't post at all if you're not prepared to get closure or an appreciative response from the OP.

If you invest time and effort in an internet thread which could go poof at any moment for the sole reason that you want a thank you or a good story, more fool you.

Threads disappear, it happens. If you don't like it then other forums and other types of media are available.

Exactly Probably.

No one looking for a thank you or closure here Lockheart, just after a robust discussion to see OP get thread removed because everyone said they were BU is frustrating. I get what you're saying tho but understandably when there is a thread you're drawn to and post on, debate on etc it is a pain when it's gone and you know exactly why. I'll be slower to post in future tbh because as you say, it could absolutely disappear.

It's incredibly irritating, and never seems to happen when the OP is being backed up and agreed with. When they're getting their arse handed to them, they suddenly decide that having 2.4 kids and a husband who cycles or plays golf is DEFINITELY going to identify them.

@NeonDreams exactly!
If people get identified it’s their problem. If they don’t want to be identified then don’t post

Exactly to all of that! Another one gone overnight Puts me off posting.

Two moreon my watched list today I don't watch that many.

And another two.. I think I might be the jinx!

Its happening more and more. Posters know if they tell mn, that they have over shared or have been recognised, MN will take it down.

So they all say that 3 I have been on today have been removed as op felt they could be outed in RL.

And yes, it's always when people aren't agreeing with them.

Exactly. It's annoying!!
