I don't know if this has been asked before. Deletion messages on watched threads

Could we have this please

I am such a Good Girl these days and instead of commenting on threads getting involved in bunfights I do as I am told and report, report, report without commenting. However, apart from having to log in to my email account (which I am too lazy to do, or have forgotten what I have reported by then) I don't get to see some of the rather fab deletion messages.

What do we reckon ?

I'd second that. It would minimise people posting simply to say 'marking place' I would have thought.

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 22/12/2014 00:38

Yup

Oh yes bonne idee.

SilverShins · 22/12/2014 01:01

Yes agree. Anything to rid threads of 'marking place'.

ElizabethHoover · 22/12/2014 01:27

Can someone give an sb of a funny one. They always just say something abiut OPs identity to me

AwfulBeryl · 22/12/2014 09:14

Yes, I agree. Will also stop the taat asking where did the bla bla bla thread go.
Most of all it will satisfy my nosiness, it really irks me when a thread off my watching list disappears.

Great idea.

RowanMumsnet · 22/12/2014 09:31

Yep think this one is in the works, it's just that Tech has a veeeery long list to get through. We do agree it would be useful though!

AuntieStella · 22/12/2014 09:32

I thought most deletion messages were pretty basic these days?

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 22/12/2014 11:16

Hoorayyyy Smile

Good idea

It not only cuts down on the place marking but also the threads springing up, asking why they were deleted.

cozietoesie · 22/12/2014 12:01

Thinking about it, it would also save time in searching for threads. I may be alone in this but when I go back to review a thread, I generally look first for threads that I've already read - purple instead of blue. If I can't see it and I'm on a different machine or have cleared cookies and cache recently (both of which are frequent) then not seeing a thread means I have to go looking through pages - and if it's been deleted, I simply won't know unless someone else has mentioned it.

Pleased to hear that it's on the list, Rowan.

Oh good Xmas Grin

Like AF, I report and report without comment.

The deletion messages would be a sort of reward, I think.

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 22/12/2014 23:49

damn right Smile
