Deletions - These are ludicrous

Ok, that's enough now MNHQ

Stop it with the mad deleting.

BUT it shouldn't matter WHO is reporting or indeed WHAT they are reporting if HQ are applying the rules fairly, they would just ignore the fluffy bunnykins and MN wouldn't change.

HQ should ignore reports if they are fucking stupid, quite honestly.

CaseyShraeger · 29/05/2012 17:16

It doesn't even read as though tethers said the poster was a racist. She implied that the particular viewpoint that had just been expressed was racist.

Really, MNHQ, really really really you are deleting one HELL of a lot more now than you ever did before, largely by scope creep on what constitutes a personal attack. It ISN'T the same as it was five or six or seven years ago. And the frustrating thing is that it doesn't even seem to have been deliberate. It's your site; if you want to start extending the range of deletions to anything you want say, people whose posting style reminds you of your sixth form geography teacher then that's your prerogative. But at least then you'd be accepting that there's a change in policy; in the current situation there's a loud insistence that because the written guidelines themselves haven't changed then it logically follows that the way in which they are applied is also unchanged and that's very frustrating when it's obvious that it isn't.

No LemarchandsBox lovely. I have a grasp of what racist actually means..... Wink

So, to sum up.

A whole load of prolific regular posters who have been on the site for YEARS, all say that deletions are far more frequent and the delete button has gone trigger happy. Examples are provided.

MNHQ (rep.d by Rebecca), say that absolutely nothing has changed.

Off to make tea now. Pork stir fry with scrambled eggs in case you're interested. Then I might read the newspaper, then watch a bit of TV whilst picking my nose.

Meanwhile please ensure my spirit lives on and joins the rebellion on this thread in my absence. Thanking you kindly Smile

And on that note, I'm off to roast a chicken.

Oh, forgot to say, deletions are far more frequent. Is irritating as I only get on here for a few hours each day and when trying to catch up am completely lost. I have no mouse so can't do cut n paste thing. Can someone please add me t'list?

Has Sarah really gorn for good? Sad

sassytheFIRST · 29/05/2012 17:44

I have Never been deleted in 9+ years of mnetting. Until this week.

It's all changed. George Orwell would be reaching for his pencil to scribble down some inspiration....

OracleInACoracleocus · 29/05/2012 17:44

A whole load of prolific regular posters who have been on the site for YEARS,

Let's not forget, prolific, regular posters who never agree!

The trouble is that some of the posters that have been put off by the recent wave of heavy fisted handed deletions are some of the people that have helped it have the quality and character it has. If lots more of those posters delete what will be left? Some people in their quiet little quiches on the outskirts, and a whole lot of newbie racists and rape apologists that will find that its not worth posting anymore because there's no one to have a good argument with any more. Or perhaps it will go down the route of uber moderation and morph into the boring sister of another well known site.

usualsuspect · 29/05/2012 17:46

I'm annoyed that goading AKA trolling threads/posts are allowed to stand

I agree that MNHQ seem to have no idea what an internet troll is

I feel like that man in UP when he is the only holdout against the new bigger and better housing estate that's being built on the grounds of his house.

Is the site being changed to suit a different demographic and this is one way to push us out?
