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?

Because a couple of years ago bunfighty threads were generally given the opportunity to be derailed and brought to often hilarious conclusions.

I can't remember that happening in recent times.

i am a bit concerned after meeting several members of MNHQ on Saturday - I think you were there Rebecca ;-) Whilst for most websites it might be fine to have 21 yo graduates doing the moderation, I am not sure it is the best idea on MN. How can they possibly have the life experience to know what is a joke/what is bullying/what is acceptable/what is not?

Theworldisbiggerthanyou · 05/12/2013 21:53

Shredded I actual agree with you.
I also think that should the posters on here flame you for having this opinion then it will reaffirm comments made by some posters yesterday. It is ok for those who fall in to the "we've been here ages and are mates" group to disagree with other members but how dare anyone else have an opinion against them.
I think Hully has been argumentative and spoilt in her quest for an answer. She was given more than one by Rebecca but because it didn't suit she refused to accept it.

The mods are doing their job. I wouldn't walk in to a shop and tell the assistant she is pathetic or constantly have a go at her just because I did not agree with the shop owners policies. Pretty much how Hully and clan have conducted themselves here.
You are members of this site you do not own or run it. You don't like their rules or reasoning's then leave. Simple answer.

They have 21 year olds?!?

ExitPursuedByAChristmasGrinch · 05/12/2013 21:56

I was going to post that Scone but didn't want to derail the thread. Sad

Not saying you have.

SconeForAStroll · 05/12/2013 21:57

Sorry. I like derailment. Unless it is a train when it is officially A Very bad Thing obv.

But actually one of the most fantastic things about Mumsnet is that they listen to us and take our views very seriously, even if they don't like what we are saying.

And you only have to read some of the more recent posts on this thread to see that there are some people here who definitely have an anti-Hully agenda. It wouldn't surprise me at all to find that she gets more reported than other posters.

But thats not really the point, is it?

SconeForAStroll · 05/12/2013 22:05

I think it started when hq said they love reports. I think some people abuse use it to the full and forget that as a general rule sorting stuff out on thread should be the default.

Are we self modding at all anymore? It seems that the parts of the site that need careful management are pretty much left to get on with it (SN, fwr) and the larkishness is gradually being strangled.

reelingaroundthechristmastree · 05/12/2013 22:07

Everything Artex said.

SinterklaasSterm · 05/12/2013 22:07

Have to agree with Artex.

And now the 'all regs are cunt' posts have started.

Like that wasn't gonna happen.

ShreddedHoops · 05/12/2013 22:09

FWIW BIWI I can only remember reporting for a PA once in my time here - a long time ago, in Feminism, on a thread about Chelsea Clinton where I was accused of being a rape apologist. I reported that. Iirc Hully you were on that thread too! Long time ago. I also report all the bloody ads in S and B. I don't know if Hully personally made any PAs on the threads but there were some and that's why it was deleted. I'm not convinced by the tall Poppy answer but I would be irritated by this kind of a haranguing thread if I was in HQ.

youretoastmildred · 05/12/2013 22:10

carting?

ShreddedHoops · 05/12/2013 22:10

Usual who's saying all regs are cunts?

Mintyy · 05/12/2013 22:11

Self modding is a total and absolute misnomer.

If the site is to be successfully self modded it needs some shit hot staffers at the other end of the report button making judgements on what is ok and what needs to go. And they need to be au fait with who might just be reporting because they are feeling disgruntled or bewildered or have a personal vendetta, rather than reporting because something is actually offensive and really has to go.

reelingaroundthechristmastree · 05/12/2013 22:11

Usual, I don't think Artex meant that.

Have I misunderstood you?
