I think I might be a bit cross or possibly peeved.

I was on a thread yesterday that got deleted. I read it all again today and STILL cannot figure out why it was deleted and no reason was given. If it was due to the goady nature of the op, other far worse ones have stood and got bunfighty despite people saying they reported it.

You say you want us to self police - I have seen loads of excellent examples of that happening of late, especially with some of the odder trolls ops the last couple of weeks.

I think if you don't let some threads stand than the goaders get away with goading as they can keep repeatedly writing ops like this safe in the knowledge that you will delete them and any ticking off they get will be behind the scenes.

This leaves the rest of us wondering what possible reason you have for penalising the contributors to a largely harmless thread ad indulging people who continually allude to other posters being snipey bullies.

HQ I know you're busy. I know these things annoy you. But if you keep taking this course of action it will make Mnet look cliguey and like a playground. Your posts simply radiate eye-rolling at the moment. I appreciate you are fed up with the harping on, and no it's a lighthearted in your responses, but please if you are not prepared to deal with ops like this at the source and stamp it out that way, then don't get all trigger happy with the red button and cross when people want to know WTAF is going on.

I think at times you let your self be manipulated, or you certainly appear that way.

I'm sorry for being a miserable cow, but I am fed up of being on cracking threads with some really nice Mnetters only for them being deleted without reason. Sad

What thread?

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 01/08/2012 16:55

I completely agree with you.

Cannot understand why some people seem to be able to post whatever they like, and then go whining to MN to get it all deleted. Grossly unfair, and yes you are right - MNHQ are letting themselves be manipulated.

RunYouBastardRun · 01/08/2012 16:57

Right there with you.

HoneyDragonSponseredByCocaCola · 01/08/2012 16:58

Tantrums it doesn't matter which thread, I don't want to look like a stirrer iyswim. But it was funny, it went on a tangent. The only way the entire thread could look like a personal attack was that the op looked daft for posting it.

Plenty of others go the same way. I really think some people are now totally taking the piss out of HQ

I've noticed it too.

HoneyDragonSponseredByCocaCola · 01/08/2012 17:03

well at least I know I'm not imagining it if others see it too Smile

I agree with you entirely, OP.

LeB0F · 01/08/2012 17:13

What have I missed?

Smile
ThisWeekonFancyPuffin · 01/08/2012 17:13

Totally agree with you HoneyDragon

TantrumsAndOlympicGoldBalloons · 01/08/2012 17:16

I only asked because it has happened a few times on threads I have been on or read and I wondered if it was the same one particular I was reading yesterday which made me laugh.

The whole thread deletions are beginning to baffle me tbh, some which clearly are attacking/goading/racist are left to stand and others deleted for seemingly no reason.

Olympia2012 · 01/08/2012 17:36

Yes. I agree!!

And yhr thread yesterday...., was it the one which became full of recipes in the end? Including realitys carb free cheesecake?

HoneyDragonSponseredByCocaCola · 01/08/2012 17:38

Tantrums it was the very funny one yesterday Smile

BOF - A Mnetter posted a goady self indulgent op. It was briefly pointed out to be a bit silly and then people swapped recipes and went looking for bricks of jizz, standard Mnet fair really. The thread wasn't special it was just another that got deleted for no damn good reason.

And another thing that witty

5 4 3 2 1 count down thing gets on my tits as a response to people asking for a thread not be deleted without good reason Angry

I was waiting for the chavs cheesecake recipe when it all went pfffft before my very eyes Sad

Honey, I suspect the goading op won't be back.

[has seen it all before emoticon]

[sigh]

But if anyone wants to repost a few more no-calorie-no-fat-chocolate cake recipes I will be very happy.

Olympia2012 · 01/08/2012 17:45

BOF when it got deleted we all piled onto your thread and you told us to shush or we would get your thread deleted too!

Olympia2012 · 01/08/2012 17:46

Oh, I think that op will be back..... If not already. Unless she is banned.

MarygoeZforgold · 01/08/2012 17:46

Exactly Olympia Wink. I suspect so.

NettOlympicSuperstar · 01/08/2012 17:47

I want to know what Reality did with her artichoke.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 01/08/2012 18:08

You really don't Netto. Wink

Sportofino · 01/08/2012 18:10

Yes - tis very annoying that certain posters get away with it again and again and then all the evidence gets deleted. Then they come back AGAIN and either plead innocence or claim everyone else is a big bully. It is very juvenile.

Olympia2012 · 01/08/2012 18:19

I think realitys kids ate the artichokes in the end!

HoneyDragonSponseredByCocaCola · 01/08/2012 18:19

That's my problem, nothing is left to stand. People are shat upon for pointing out that namechanging to "protect themselves" doesn't work if you tell everyone who you are.

Saying you are keeping your name as you have nothing to hide, and having posts deleted makes me all eye rolly too.

And I don't understand all this banning crap either. It appears some posters have a revolving door here and others names can't even be mentioned without a thread going poof, despite them being long gone.
