Posted before about my husband and finding messages, and it's been deleted! Why?!

OP posts:
Redglitter · 15/12/2018 10:23

One of the messages showed her first name, but also her second initial was evident too. Maybe that's why

That shouldnt warrant the entire thread coming down though. At most maybe just that post but really how identifying is a first name

dippledorus · 15/12/2018 10:26

I saw the thread and honestly didn’t think you should have shared the screenshots.

bumbother · 15/12/2018 10:33

I don't know, but it was not your usual spelling of the name, plus her surname initial, and she mentioned a country she had recently returned from. Easily identifiable if you knew her.

BeanBagLady · 15/12/2018 10:38

It is true that the screen shots would have been incredibly identifying, and we know how these things end up in the gutter press.

Maybe worth discussing with MNHQ, OP?

Bellendejour · 15/12/2018 10:45

Don’t worry too much about the old thread, perhaps MN can reinstate it minus the screen shots.

I hope you can manage okay today OP, I didn’t see how the thread unfolded but I’m guessing you’ve confronted him.

If he’s cheated, and in such a flippant casual way, I’m so sorry.

You’re worth so much more. Flowers

Hello OP - we're so sorry you're going through this. Your thread was actually hidden last night by one of our moderation team who was concerned that your privacy might be compromised by the screenshots. We're reinstated it now - it's your call, but we can remove the images if you're worried about being outed. Flowers

Kneesbend · 15/12/2018 12:36

Dipple, they were relevant to the thread.

Hope you’re as ok as you can be, OP.

dippledorus · 15/12/2018 12:44

They shouldn't have been posted identifying the other parties. Their names should have been taken out. imo.

Kneesbend · 15/12/2018 12:57

So you meant to say they should have been edited? You said they shouldn’t have been shared.

Either way, let’s hope OP is having a good a day as she can.

dippledorus · 15/12/2018 13:05

She should not have shared the screenshots because they aren't hers to share and in order for her to get them she was in someone else's phone.

Does she have the permission of the parties involved to share those screenshots?

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 15/12/2018 13:13

She wasn't in someone else's phone - they were on the family iPad.

dippledorus · 15/12/2018 13:56

from her husband's phone because it was linked.

hammeringinmyhead · 15/12/2018 14:12

And therefore fair game.

stopitandtidyupp · 15/12/2018 14:15

And therefore fair game

This. Hope you are ok op

dippledorus · 15/12/2018 14:15

I disagree, I am sympathetic to the OP but I don't think she should be revealing someone else's identity on here.

Spoilingthem · 15/12/2018 14:28

I have had the screenshots pulled

OP posts:
SummerGems · 15/12/2018 15:30

In a time where practically every thread on aibu and relationships is a troll and is pulled anyway it’s easy to see why someone would post screenshots in order to verify that they’re legit. Afaik nightwatch don’t have the capacity to edit posts and as such the thread had to be hidden for that reason.

Anyway what’s done is done and getting too het up about it achieves nothing.
