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?

BUT THE SECOND THREAD DIDN'T

IT ASKED A VALID QUESTION AND THEN TURNED INTO POETRY

You admit you hadn't read it.

How bloody infuriating do you think that is??

And please answer:

And could you explain why a thread on SITE STUFF asking why a thread was deleted = "a thread about a thread?"

And EXACTLY HOW ELSE IS ONE SUPPOSED TO ASK THAT QUESTION?

Hullygully · 05/12/2013 20:03

Actually. Can we have a self moderated Oldies topic? If you don't want another Moldies-style mutiny?

ChasedByBees · 05/12/2013 20:05

The second thread was nothing like the first. I lurked, it was fun.

Hullygully · 05/12/2013 20:05

It wasn't even much about that, it was mostly poetry n shit.

Please ask Amy to stop knee jerk deletions.

Or here's a thought.

People should stop insulting other people when they disagree with them.

Then the threads won't get deleted.

It's out there I know, but I think it could work.

HanneHolm · 05/12/2013 20:05

lol affect us all
its a website hull
Honestly i have BEEN there - go and get a nice cup of tea instead :)

Hully,

I may not have read it but others from MNHQ will have - I am not officially working now am training a newbie

Threads in Site Stuff do get removed as with anywhere on MN if they break guidelines.

Hullygully · 05/12/2013 20:06

of course it's a website.

Fairness as a principle is the same wherever it is flouted. It must be defended

OP posts:
HanneHolm · 05/12/2013 20:06

you are sounding rather hysterical.
a break. take one

Mintyy · 05/12/2013 20:07

Yes, people have often been silenced by the blanket deletion of threads about threads policy. In the end they get tired of trying to engage and leave Mumsnet.

HoneyDragon · 05/12/2013 20:07

Amy was a bit smuggy and rude about deleting it though.

Hullygully · 05/12/2013 20:07

Amy deleted it. She also deleted the first. I don't believe she had read either.

If she had, the second at the very least, would not have been deleted.

And please answer my question.
