Hi

does anyone know (since it’s Christmas eve) are Mumsnet HQ able to delete or hide a thread? Or does that stop today because it’s a public holiday? Thanks in advance x

Why, what you planning on posting?

madnessitellyou · 24/12/2023 12:45

It's a Sunday: is it a public holiday?

If you're even asking about thread deletion might I suggest you don't actually post?

Riva5784 · 24/12/2023 12:49

Have you reported the thread?

littlebitofsunshine · 24/12/2023 12:50

Wow, absolutely no need to be so sarky. I just wondered because obviously when things get reported they get taken down but wasn’t sure if that happens over Christmas or not. I know there’s people that volunteer overnight (I think anyway!) and there’s people that actually work for MN so wasn’t sure if that continued over Christmas. That’s all. Sorry for wondering!

Ask MNHQ , no one else knows. To do that, just report your own post.

Yes they will delete threads but service may be slow and focussed on bad threads as opposed to changed my mind requests

littlebitofsunshine · 24/12/2023 12:52

Ah I see, that makes sense! First Christmas on here so just wasn’t sure that’s all.

Anyone else remember a mad NYE when everyone started multiple threads? I can't even remember what they were about but MNHQ had to suspend posting.

Caused quite a kerfuffle 🤣🤣

They have already deleted one of the James Cleverly threads this morning

@littlebitofsunshine you can name change as often as you like, you can change your name back or continue to name change all the time. The thread should hold your name change just double check before you post anything more on the thread.

There are boards like 30 days only that are automatically deleted too. You can change details in your post so it isn't as obvious to those who may know who you are talking about.

You can ask for a post to be deleted but it can take some time depending on staffing but also what other stuff is going on on MN at the time.
