When a troll thread is deleted on "watched threads" why does it just go poof with no evidence or message from MN HQ? eg: the thread about "text to me by mistake" thread?

It was in my watched threads list but now has disappeared poof since this morning

So presumably was a troll or PBP but please could MN HQ delete contents but leave a message on the thread on watched list for at least 48 hours

Otherwise people say need to post X to make it ones "I HAVE POSTED ON"

Then others get annoyed

I am on iPad app btw

Thank you

That women whose DH is abroad in the hotel was deleted?! Ohmigod I don't know why I bother reading anything on here anymore...

DontBuyANewMumCashmere · 30/08/2017 15:58

But sorry you're right, it's so annoying and people end up posting stupid placemarking messages.

Wishforsnow · 30/08/2017 15:59

I think she asked for it to be removed as it's in the Sun newspaper now

RTKangaMummy · 30/08/2017 15:59

Well I can't find it anywhere

Was reading it this morning in my watched list but now it has disappeared from there so presume deleted

Ok thanks but why can't MN HQ delete contents but leave a message explaining why it has disappeared

So watched ones don't just go poof

The app is incredibly annoying for this. Mind you if it worked, active would simply be full of deletion messages at the moment...I don't think I've clicked on a thread (apart from my quiche Wink) that seems genuine.

doowapwap · 30/08/2017 16:08

I was reading that this morning....

At least we now get a message on the ap for threads deleted in "threads I'm on", that's a welcome change

TimMumsnet · 30/08/2017 16:10

Hi @RTKangaMummy - thanks for raising this, do you have the most recent version of the app? We added support for deleted messages recently. You can check here to see.

Mebutnotasyouknowit · 30/08/2017 16:11

I was my thread. It's been lifted off here and is all over The Sun on Facebook and their website.
God knows if those vultures will actually print it.
I'm not a troll and I am devastated.

Ninjakittysmells · 30/08/2017 16:13

Oh Mebut, I am so very sorry. I hope you manage to continue getting support Flowers

Sairelou · 30/08/2017 16:13

Is that only on threads you've posted on though TimMumsnet? Because it's disappeared from the threads I'm watching too.

WhoWants2Know · 30/08/2017 16:15

What absolute bastards to do that to you, mebutmotasyouknowit The whole point of this place is to be able to ask advice without the whole bloody world (and husband) finding out!

Mebutnotasyouknowit · 30/08/2017 16:27

I asked for it to be deleted.

I didn't realise it didn't say "removed at posters request due to privacy issue" as that's what it said on my link.

I really don't want all the people who took the time to post to now think I'm a troll.

PeppercornIsMime · 30/08/2017 16:33

Literally all the major threads on here are all over the suns online site "sunbathing topless in family resort"

"Hubby self pleasuring beside partner"

Nothing is safe!

AcrossthePond55 · 30/08/2017 17:01

Dammit mebut I'm so sorry to hear this!

I wish you all the best. Strength and wisdom to you. Be happy.

xqwertyx · 30/08/2017 17:17

My god I did not realise the Sun was doing that! Scraping the barrel or what. Is there nothing HQ can do to prevent it? Such a shame, I don't think I would post any issues i may have on here now.

I just had a look and they have even posted screen shots, is there nothing MNHQ can do to prevent that?

Wheelycote · 30/08/2017 17:18

Was the 'text me by mistake' thread a Troll😮????

Mebutnotasyouknowit · 30/08/2017 17:29

qwertyx
I'm horrified.

wheelycote
No im not a troll.

PollytheDolly · 30/08/2017 17:36

I was on your thread mebut. I'm so sorry that happened to you Flowers

notapizzaeater · 30/08/2017 17:46

Surely there must be a way of MN stopping this :-(. So sorry it's all over t'web

Fudgit · 30/08/2017 17:52

Mebut I'm so sorry to hear that Sad. How horribly violating. I'm paranoid about posting things on here now and it's a shame because the support can be great. I really hope you're ok. Please PM if you want to chat.

Wheelycote · 30/08/2017 18:06

Whatttttt!!!!!! Mebutt so sorry that's happened!!!

Sun you are the scurge!

Wheelycote · 30/08/2017 18:10

I mean.....they're lifting stories from a forum!!!! Seriously!!! I'm livid for you Me. It's just out of order. Does that mean they're trawling through the site for gossip????!!!Ewwwww and pathetic comes to mind for a national paper.

Wheelycote · 30/08/2017 18:12

No wonder mumsnet is getting lots of Trolls....trolls coming nosing for more gossip and to poo stir.

I'm outraged!

OnionKnight · 30/08/2017 18:16

It's well known that threads are at risk of getting lifted and there is nothing that MNHQ can do, they probably welcome the extra clicks tbh.
