So I come back to find that you have deleted my thread asking why my Santa thread was deleted.

Of course it was a thread about a thread, it was asking a question about the thread.

Wtf else is one supposed to do?

I put it in site stuff.

It was also a really nice friendly thread full of poetry and laughs. Why why why why was it deleted? What the hell is going on there?

Secondly, if one wants to talk about something, and that something has been deleted purely owing to others mischief, does that mean that one is never to talk about that subject again??

How mad is that?

I asked about the reading/not reading of the second thread, Cakeetc. I wonder if you'll have more luck with a reply?

Of course they are moderated, no site would seriously leave themselves open to being sued these days.
It's the ninnies who report stuff because they are 'offended' who need to be moderated.

There were people from the first thread because...

drum roll...

they too wanted to know wtf had happened.

Then we just talked to each other pleasantly

How many people have to tell you it was pleasant and there were no pas?

I thought Hully was being an arse. But that's never been a reason for deleting a thread Confused

Why would you report it? Stating that people are arses for not endorsing the magic and beauty of Santa, is part of the fun...

ExcuseTypos · 05/12/2013 21:24

Has MNHQ been on a little too much gin?

None of this makes any sense.

ShreddedHoops · 05/12/2013 21:25

Oh fgs, just leave and start your own site rather than haranguing the people who run this one. What exactly are you hoping to achieve here? You're behaving like a needy friend / toddler / teen. It's only a website - get a grip. It really does seem like Moldies all over again - the same small group of posters banging on about how it's not the same anymore and trying to tell the staff how to run their own site. Hmm I don't know why I keep clicking on these threads but I doubt I'm the only one who just thinks ffs find a different website then.

reelingaroundthechristmastree · 05/12/2013 21:26

So don't bother then ShreddedHoops.

You can always dereg yourself.

Never seen MNHQ sockpuppeting before. Most unedifying.

greenhill · 05/12/2013 21:27

I'm a big reporter of threads. I wouldn't have reported the original thread or this one.

hully you are an acerbic poster, but never a dull one. I think you are being targeted. It is not fair...

XmasLogAndHollyOn · 05/12/2013 21:28

Do you think this is something to do with faber & faber's shithot legal team and all the TS Eliot?

Golddigger · 05/12/2013 21:30

Isnt it often said that if you dont like the site, then leave?
Dont actually agree with that myself, but there are definitely some complaining posters who have said that themselves many times before.

ShreddedHoops · 05/12/2013 21:31

Haha. Glad I've given you a target! No plans to dereg - it's much the same as it's always been around here. And I like it so I'll stick around.

greenhill · 05/12/2013 21:31

I thought you were a submarine captain hully I'm obviously confused...

reelingaroundthechristmastree · 05/12/2013 21:33

Well you say that Gold but who do you mean?

I really haven't seen that.

reelingaroundthechristmastree · 05/12/2013 21:34

Shredded lovey, why would you think you are now a target, and for what? Confused

youretoastmildred · 05/12/2013 21:34

How are the moldies? are they still going? Do they have any fun or is the ideas-gene-pool utterly deracinated by exclusivity and they all have tiny heads and can't say the letter"s" because there is something funny about their lower jaws?
