Why are ageist posts not in the line up of isms that mnhq will delete?

Hello mnhq,

Genuine question. I reported some posts last night for ageism and just came to see if they had been deleted and they haven't. The thread has died so I thought that's maybe why, but when I went to check in Talk Guidelines I see that ageism isn't in there.

"we'll remove posts we consider to contain personal attacks, to break the law and/or to be obscene, racist, sexist, disablist or homophobic, once they are brought to our attention"

I just wondered why it's not there?

Apologies slubber, we're not ignoring you - we're going to discuss this with the team and come back to you ASAP.

Yes, I agree we should add ageism to the list and we will do - thanks for the heads up. I do think with regard to the particular discussion you mention though that highlighting the issue of casual ageism on the thread is probably more likely to have an impact than deleting posts, which is why we left the discussion as it stood.
