You are digging a deeper and deeper hole MNHQ

Oh, I guessed who the OP would be...

It's a bit of a mole, mountain situation, but the fact that you are allowed to post wind-up threads, but not allowed to question if it is a wind-up, is a bit odd really.

amillionyears you need to get out more. And if you don't like MNHQ, step away from their website maybe.....

It was a joke thread...end of. I have seen some fabulous joke treads here by people who name change so they can have fun. It harmed nobody, most people guessed pretty quickly that it was a wind up. Lighten up.

shiney, that was nasty and untrue, and I have reported.

I hear cake-baking is a really nice pasttime for those with time on their hands...

god, this is why I hardly use mn anymore. people report for nothing, the PO are taking over and any humour has been quashed under self-important naval-gazing and faux outrage.

Good, good LoopsInhoops. I shall go and stand outside the head teacher's office shall I?

I shan't beat you up in the playground later for being a snitch, don't worry

As someone else said, I imagine MNHQ can do what they want, it is their site.

If you don't like it .........

This is another wind up, right?

I read the cake thread. T'was funny especially "No, he's not hen pecked. He's a Geography teacher"

I have two vomiting children. Why can't we have fun threads?

shiney, careful now. don't be a poo-poo head.

thats not offensive, is it?

I have REPORTED you for that, TrampyPants...

Its not that we cant have wind ups .. its people shouldnt be deleted for saying its a wind up

If you are going to let people name change to wind people up then other people should be able to say this is a wind up without fear of deletion

Thank you Fenton. If it wasn't for mumsnetters like you I'd be able to GET AWAY with referring to someone as an idiot.

And we can't have that can we?

They didn't 'let' her namechange to wind people up - they genuinely thought she had a bad cake eating husband to rant about.

Fenton... you've hurt my feelinks

'Im telling on youuuuu '

frasers its already been explained up thread that MNHQ only knew it was a regular poster on a NC at first, not that it was a joke thread.

I missed cakegate. How bloody hilarious.

I didn't know people got deleted for saying something was a wind up.

I still think you are getting your knickers in a twist about nothing OP.

If that thread highlighted a need for the wording to change - that's a good thing. MNHQ should, as a business, always be looking at their policies and procedures and ensuring they are fit for purpose and this shows that they do that. They respond quickly to any gaps or areas of uncertainty or confusion.

I have a business, and also do the policies and procedures for my husband's business.

There are times that something happens and you realise that your policy for that is either lacking a clause, or what is there is open to misinterpretation and so you change it and you change it PDQ!

Oh, I just did a genuine 'Aww' at that Trampy
