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

nope.

On FB yes, not here. But its not the op that's the problem. Its the way the site is treated to accommodate an op that is the problem.

We're not sure we agree with that Honey but, as this seems to be about one poster in particular, we think it's best we continue this convo with you off-board.

We'll drop you a mail shortly.

HoneyDragonSponseredByCocaCola · 02/08/2012 11:37

I am trying not to keep it about one poster. It's just highlighted a few issues I have already noticed. Mail would be good as obviously I don't want to say anything inappropriate on here.

I agree Honey. It's not about a particular poster - but it's about how certain posters seem to get preferential/special treatment by MNHQ.

HellenicGamesMumsnet · 02/08/2012 12:10

OK, we can assure you that NO ONE gets special treatment. No one.

We give everyone the same benefit of the doubt except the schoolboys and the pervs and we give everyone the same warnings/banning treatment (should it be needed).

The only way that it could possibly seem as though an obvious troublemaker is getting special treatment is if folks haven't reported them to us.

It's also worth noting that it can be tricky to warn a poster for his/her posting style when he/she has been roundly personally attacked on the boards by a whole group of others. We'd much rather you reported to us than post your thoughts on the boards so that we can warn/ban the troublemakers nice and quickly and cleanly.

Hot brick of jizz was on another thread - that hasn't gone as it?!

I'm not special

poorbuthappy · 02/08/2012 14:14

What's happened up there is exactly what we are talking about.
Why does the convo need to continue off board?

What could possibly be so confident?
