To think people don't realise this about mumsnet

[Teacup40]

I posted a thread the other day which didn't go very well it quickly became a bit of a pile on and I asked Mumsnet to please take it down as some responses were quite nasty, Mumsnet ignored me. The thread kept going and I then realised this could possibly be outing I explained this they again ignored me.
I've come away from this feeling completely shit I struggle with negative feelings about myself which I realise is no-one else's fault but this hasn't helped and I'm also worried people in real life might know it was me.
Anyway there's not much I can do about it and I just wanted people to be aware that if you post and Mumsnet feels the post is entertaining to others it won't be removed when you ask.

That's a shame they didn't take it down I've only asked once on another name and the thread was taken down, I overshared and was also piled on. Anyway I am sorry this happened to you, I also think posters should be able to delete their own threads.

Thank you everyone for taking the time to respond, I get that it's irritating when your invested in a thread and it gets deleted but it wasn't that kind of thread iyswim. I'm neither young nor am I naive I wouldn't willingly post something likely to encourage a negative reaction. I've hidden it and name changed and I definitely won't start another thread lol.

I do agree with the stance on not deleting threads. However, I think if they become a pile on, they should be locked to prevent further commenting. So often an op will acknowledge they’re in the wrong 2 pages in and there’s 20 subsequent pages of posters giving them a kicking.

I’ve started threads and they’ve not gone well. I’ve commented on threads and my response hasn’t been appreciated at all. I tend to just wander off in those instances. I don’t name change, if my username ends up living in someone’s head rent free, that’s a problem for them not me.

Im pretty sure I got some arsey replies when I asked a question once about a recipe, cant remember now, it was something like that or something really mundane anyway

I just ignore the replies I dont like!

Dont take things to heart

What was the question anyway?

I didn’t know taking down a post was mumsnet choice.

whenever I post, I expect nasty comments. In all honesty, they have never bothered me because I see their comment a reflection of the poster themself- which makes me pity them.

You are right about the deletion.
Sometimes I feel obliged to scramble to edit 😐
Very good nickname as well. Must re-read some of your poems soon.
😜

like the compeys in Jurassic Park (r.i.p. Bob Peck)

a thick skin is essential on here sometimes

mostly though, posters who join in are just showing themselves up

• what everyone else has said ^

snort, toss your hair and carry on

It really puts you off I think you can put a point across even "robustly" without being downright nasty.
