Deletions - These are ludicrous

[Hullygully]

Ok, that's enough now MNHQ

Stop it with the mad deleting.

MNHQ, I was wondering if someone reports my post saying 'Hully is a twat' (hypothetical only!), are you then obliged to delete it, even if it's obvious from the context that we're joking around and Hully is not upset by it?

Can imagine this being problematic with all the report-happy Po brigade

Here you go, Justine:

Very impressed that Justine hung around until almost midnight fending off quick fire questions.

Very much hoping that's not the end of it though. MN still needs 'fixing'.

@LtEveDallas

No no, absolutely, but that is kind of my point. The rules are too ambiguous, you and I (and obvs Seeker) see the same words, but with different meanings, and therefore different outcomes.

I'm not joking (or being purposely antagonistic), when I say that I absolutely don't see that line as a personal attack. But you do. So for eg OliviaMN might see it my way, and JustineMN your way - and therein lies the confusion.

I think that kind of inconsistency is going to happen every now and then - and tbh has for some time - as no one person can mod the site by themselves. I think around the grey areas/fine lines we just have to accept that.

I don't think you can set a rule for every situation - better to make sure people are modding in the right spirit, as it were (that's where we need perhaps to recalibrate things a bit...).

No, absolutely, we aim to put things in context and not delete light-hearted rudeness.

A lot

heh heh

@BIWItheBold

Here you go, Justine:

It's a bit early for that innit - even for me?

Oh yes Maryz I agree, one report shouldn't be enough for a deletion, but multiple reports mean that MN reads the thread. God, is that possible?

Well timed return there Justine

Never too early for Champagne, darling

Justine - I hope you had a good night's sleep and come to the issues refreshed - thank you for your time and understanding last night. It would be good to get things back onto a more even keel.

Whilst I might not have strayed into so many threads, I do remember a time when it was really to see a post deleted... it was almost a sightseeing event. Whilst it may never be possible to get back to that level (thanks trolls ) it would be good to move back in that direction.

Make it a Bucks Fizz BIWI and it's definitely breakfast material :)

I have a friend who is 82 and she has a glass of champagne every morning to 'kickstart' her day, as she says

But we were only being light heatedly rude on the 'Stop swearing on MN thread'! And the whole thing has been pulled! it's no fun here anymore!

Has the swearing thread gone??

Oh FFS :(

What, the one with 'arsepartridge' and the like?

How preposterous. It's a gloomy day indeed.

What swearing fred?

Someone started a thread saying 'why do you all have to use rude words'. Silly move really. Red rag and bull and all that

Not fucking me.

oh missed it. Ta, frank.

Bet another ten'll be along in a minute...

I have just had a Realisation. One of the Pos has infiltrated MNHQ. Justine. Be careful! They walk among you ...
