To not understand Mumsnet policy on thread deletion

[Regholdsworthswaterbed]

Why is it that a thread literally titled I hate Kids is allowed to run for days, yet a thread daring to question whether an elderly woman was rude is deleted quickly? Also there is currently a thread calling children vile names, such as Cretins and Crotch Droppings which has not been deleted. Will this be deleted as its in reference to other threads?

Of course.

It's actually quite rare for MNHQ to announce that an OP is a troll. I wish they would admit it more often. Trolling is such a huge problem on the site.

The bus thread was ridiculous, the troll OP was so obviously in the wrong and ageist to boot. I did enjoy the frequent repetition of the word "swoop," though. 😀A few of the responses were awful, but for the most part people were perfectly reasonable.

I expect this thread will be deleted soon as a TAAT.

This ^^

why mumsnet exist

Prob outing and asked it to be deleted or fake which is more likely. But yes mumsnet do delete things that are totally fine. Crotch droppings?! That's a new one and tongue in cheek amusing but if said viciously obviously not but name calling is rife on here especially "narcissist" "gaslighted" "cunt" "bastard" etc etc so a crotch dropping is quite mild in comparison u would say and a new phrase in my friends only repertoire when describing a complete tosser.

it can be a mix of reasons for the threads
