Deletions - These are ludicrous

[Hullygully]

Ok, that's enough now MNHQ

Stop it with the mad deleting.

Yep Honey. You inferred that they couldn't be bothered to explain wanted us to bugger off. They implied it.

I can't help it. It's like a disease. You should see me on less vs fewer.

Was that to me TheRubarb

So fed up with having the 'guidelines' linked for us. We know them. But we're being deleted for having an opinion. I tend to find that discussions without opinions are a tad shit.... bit like this place atm

There is no point in linking to the guidelines.

We know them.

The point is that the deletions are much more prevalent and we want to know why.

Do MNet HQ have some new staff? Sometimes newbies can be overzealous when applying rules.

Barbara - I brought a step ladder and a black spray can into my local Tesco. When I finished the sign at express checkout read "10 Items or less fewer".
The store manager was all . I said "No need to thank me."

Mumsnet is just fucking dire atm.

Good day to you all.

I don't believe any of you.

And I defended you MNHQ the other day when it was suggested you wanted to vanilla the site.

I said it was a tad conspiracy theorist.

Now I wonder.

I don't like being censored either and this is what it feels like. I am a grown woman, I am responsible for what I say and I take full responsibility for that. Some deletions actually make it look like I've said something awful when I haven't, I've just used vulgar words to illustrate how annoyed I am at someone.

I can handle that MNHQ and I am capable of defending myself and my opinions so please give me the courtesy and freedom to express those opinions in ways I see fit. (Obviously without resorting to personal insults unless they started it first )

And when we state facts about a poster for the benefit of others on the post, or just to question them so we can have an explanation, please allow us to do this. Again we are all adults and if someone starts a thread under a different username or has provided different information than previously, we should be allowed to point that out without being deleted.

The deletions are becoming more offensive than the posts themselves.

You startin' Barbarawoodlousefuckityfuck?

I think you do believe all of us, tethers.

Can we speak to Helen please? I like Helen.

I was deleted for the first time recently. For telling the truth. It's the beginning of the end I tells ya. And that thing which posts in the middle of the night being sexual and unnecessary is allowed to do as it pleases for long hours at a time. I'm miffed.

Some times I feel like telling some MNHQ staff to fuckety the fuck off with their patronising posts, but I don't because that would be breaking the talk guidlines and would get me deleted.

You're right, Pan.

It's myself I don't trust.

Arf at 'I defended you'

See Hully I bloody TOLD YOU

They would rather have x amount of trolly fuckers than us old fussy bastards expressing doubt.

MNHQ hates us
We don't fucking care

etc

Or Olivia, Showy? One of the attractions of MN is the light touch. Or was.

You did gerrof you did.

There's a lovely old poo one going great guns at the mo.

Did I mention that I got deleted for saying someone's point shone like a burning cross on a lawn?

I think I did. About fifty times. I'm still baffled.

Ooo let's have this thread as a petition for the Old Ways.

Add your name if you no like the March of the Vanilla Po.

Hully
Gerrof
Tethers
Empress
Showy
Jacqueline
Rhubs
Bibbity

And to repeat a very dull post which I have probably posted on loads of threads in recent weeks.

There is an inherent contradiction in leaving disablist/racist/sexist shite up as it is hoped that the MN massive can 'educate' the errant poster (aka self-moderation), but the mass deletion of any posts which express slight doubt about the veracity of another poster.

Tin FOIL hats

Not tin hats

I am not advocating that we go over the top in manner of Somme and go for the huns

Should we have a new petition thread?
