Deletions - These are ludicrous

Ok, that's enough now MNHQ

Stop it with the mad deleting.

Hully. Thanks for saying that. But I have a habit of coming on a thread to talk about one thing and always digress. Blush

CatitaInaHatita · 30/05/2012 15:15

I'm afraid I don't have much to add on the tennis player front; I think my credibility is on somewhat shaky ground there, seeing as was a devotee of Boris Becker in his adolescent glory (and I was a mere slip of a girl, in my defence).

However, having read this mammoth thread, I would just like to add my observation that the banning of ArtexMonkey seemed to me to be thoroughly unfair and uncalled for. I assume MNHQ made some kind of mistake, as I know they are not prone to doing things without good reason. However, the fact is that she is banned while other posters, whose behaviour seems to me to be regularly beyond the pale and I report on a regular basis. (and I shall not name because I don't want to be deletes) are still alive and kicking. I really don't see the logic.

Have you not noticed the enormous glass house in which I dwell?

Can we just play here a bit, Helen, until Mummy Justine comes back? Grin

NarkedPuffin · 30/05/2012 15:19

What is the list for?

And is this about threads like this (23:44 onwards) and the one where people complained about posters talking to each other?

HelenMumsnet · 30/05/2012 15:25

@BIWItheBold

Can we just play here a bit, Helen, until Mummy Justine comes back? Grin

If you want to. And you play nicely

Who's going to bed at 3.15? lazy cow

mistlethrush · 30/05/2012 15:27

Puffin - I don't think that the thread you linked to was too bad - some posters seemed to ignore the question and make up their own problem to answer but lots of people did answer the OP. Sometimes a thread goes off-piste with people diverting from the OP, many times it might be on purpose because they feel that the OP is a troll. Sometimes it just happens... particularly if you've not seen someone around for a while and want to catch them....

The List was, I think, for agreeing with Hully that the heavy deletions were changing the face of MN and making it unrecognisable in a bad way.

Thumbwitch · 30/05/2012 15:28

Fuck off Rhubs, I'm in Australia, it's 00:27 here bloody insular British types

Grin
mistlethrush · 30/05/2012 15:28

TheRhubarb - not everyone's on the same timezone remember Grin

mistlethrush · 30/05/2012 15:28

And there's an example of me stalking TW around the threads (again). Sorry TW!

Thumbwitch · 30/05/2012 15:29

Grin - good job you isn't a hater, innit, MT!

mistlethrush · 30/05/2012 15:33

I think you might have found out by now!

You nearly always get in first... I could post on many more threads and just say 'Wot TW said'

Thumbwitch · 30/05/2012 15:34

Grin (again)
Look at me, still bloody here, still on MN - I am going to bed. Now. G'night, will catch up with Justine's comments in the morning.

NarkedPuffin · 30/05/2012 15:36

I have been confused by some of the deletions and by non-deletions. There was a thread that used - inappropriately IMO - the word 'holocaust' in the title that was left for ages, and may still be there. I am used to being deleted for some things Grin and accept that but I do remember being really surprised by one recently where I wasn't telling the person to fuck off actually rude and yet got deleted.

Hullygully · 30/05/2012 15:37

Has the thread about Bof and Stratters been deleted now?

WTAF?

WheresMyCow · 30/05/2012 15:40

It had, just as I was reading it Shock

Came to add my name to the list...meant to do it yesterday when there was only about 300ish posts but forgot and now look how big its got Grin

ScrambledSmegs · 30/05/2012 15:40

Hang on, where did the BOF/stratters thread go? We were having a nice chat about Mallory Towers, nothing unpleasant at all!

Oh, and someone implying something nasty popped up, but I thought we all ignored them?

rhondajean · 30/05/2012 15:41

It's making my head hurt again. I was just starting to feel better too.

Jins · 30/05/2012 15:41

It's getting a bit silly now

Thumbwitch · 30/05/2012 15:41

It HAS gone!! it's been deleted due to bunfightiness! Shock
