Deletions - These are ludicrous

Ok, that's enough now MNHQ

Stop it with the mad deleting.

OP posts:
thisisyesterday · 29/05/2012 18:58

"Honestly think no deletions would lead to hell on earth - particularly around the trollhunting - we have always aimed to treat newbies on a par with oldies - I think it's the thing that keeps Mumsnet vibrant and comparatively un-cliquey. But interested to hear if folks think different (ps apols in advance for radio silence from this point - have to rush out to pick up children but will be back on later)."

I agree with this. totally.
i HAVE seen threads from newish posters where they have been pounced on by groups of friends on MN and basically had the piss ripped out of them. it's very uncomfortable and unpleasant to watch. and it's nearly always excused by "oh that's just the way X is, you'll learn"

people shouldn't have to learn. everyone deserves a bit of basic courtesy.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 29/05/2012 18:58

That's it, from now on instead of calling someone racist etc I shall say
did you mean to lie all the way through this thread?
did you mean to sound like a member of the BNP
"did you mean to sound so twattish ignorant*

LtEveDallas · 29/05/2012 18:58

Justine, if you have a minute it would be great if you could comment on my posts above. I would love to know why my post was deleted, and why a post I reported (long time ago) that made me feel attacked (upset/angry) was allowed to stand if the rules have my changed.

I'll find them if you want Smile

MardyBra · 29/05/2012 18:58

Has the increase level of enforcements been influenced by advertisers Justine? I have a theory that MN is trying to become a less argumentative place in order to attract a wider blander range of users - a wider market segment than the original target market iyswim - thus increasing advertising revenues.

klaxon · 29/05/2012 18:59

Am I allowed to draw the conclusion that in order to maximise it's advertising potential the site must become ever more like it's local regional equivalent with or without the huns

TantrumsAndBalloons · 29/05/2012 19:00

Well y'know, your site, your rulez

SecretNutellaFix · 29/05/2012 19:00

I think you have answered the question in your second point Justine.

2. Different interpretation of reported posts

So the surmisal that there is a trigger happy newbie at HQ could, actually be true, and that the deletions are the result of an over active interpretations of the guidelines?

I use the word guidelines, because that is what you term them. Not rules, guidelines.

Bugger, that was meant to say 'if the rules have not changed.

And it doesn't have to be Justine (who is now collecting children!)

Elephantscantdothemoonwalk · 29/05/2012 19:03

I have also been taken in by trolls. I would hate to report somebody for being a troll who really needs help.
I rarely report things, I report posts I deem offensive or threads for the same reason. I never go troll hunting. I do sometimes think is that right after reading a post but never question the op.

mistlethrush · 29/05/2012 19:03

I like rhoda's suggestion... 'Did you mean that to sound racist?'

'Did you mean to suggest your son is a rapist?'

mistlethrush · 29/05/2012 19:06

next time the list's updated can you add mine too please?

It sounds to me like MNHQ are just making it up as they're going along Hmm

They're like the government. They know that they've cocked up but won't put their hands up and own up.

Please put me on the list, i don't know how to C+P. I is fick.
Did I mention I was DELETED for FUCK ALL!?

One time in the middle of a thread I posted on another person launched a incredibly vile post aimed at my DDs HmmConfused.

It was so left of center and repungent another poster PMed me to see if I was ok.

I was, because the person who wrote it obviously didn't have 2 brain cells to rub together and I can turn off my computer.

For these reasons I didn't report it, plus it showed everyone else what a stupid fucker the poster was.

I have a couple of pairs of fingerless gloves, if needed, for the strike.

Power To The People

IamtheZombie · 29/05/2012 19:14

Zombie has added herself to the list twice. Both times earlier lists have been C&P'd so that she no longer appears.

Perhaps she should take a leaf out of Stratters' book and just bugger off.

ScrambledSmegs · 29/05/2012 19:15

I have been removed from the list Shock

It's a fix, I tell you, a fix!
