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?

[RTKangaMummy]

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

Her family website are also lifting pretty much all their content from here, yeah I've noticed you lazy bitches

Threads have been on the daily mail for ages now, if you post on a public forum then you are posting in public

Yes it's shit that rags like the sun and daily mail pick up from here but if you don't know that how long have you been here?

@Mebutnotasyouknowit I am sorry that I assumed that MN HQ had made it go poof, it is really horrible what they have done to you

@TimMumsnet When I click on your link it just brought me back to this thread again, so no idea what that means

Surely, if you posted a note on the thread after deleting the content then people would understand what had happened and not assume the wrong end of the stick, like I did

How are we supposed to support one another if this sort of thing happens time and again?

@Wheely I bet The Sun writes half the posts so they have something to write about.

@Mebutnot I bet you are, so sorry. I hope other things are getting sorted for you I really do - regarding the Sun, it will be forgotten tomorrow by anyone who sees it, and no one knows who you are at all, even if they know you and your work/home life situation it would only be a guess.

Sending you a big hug

I've come back to post in crisis after a break of around 5 years.
No I wasn't aware that the posts turned into news stories.

I'm feeling doubly stupid and naive now.

So sorry to hear the press have done this mebut please know that you have loads of support.

I know it's open internet and anything that anyone posts can be copied and posted elsewhere, but anyone with a moral compass would not do this. It's gutter "journalism" at its most vile, taking someone's real life problems and turning them into sensational stories for monetary gain.

We've all been complaining about it for ages

But it's a public forum

Anyone with a moral compass wouldn't work for the daily mail or the sun

I'd commented on the thread and it came up for me with a message from MNHQ saying that it had been removed due to privacy concerns from the OP.

If genuine posters get their problems lifted, and dumped into the tabloids, and MN reckons there's nothing it can do about this, I think a big fat banner to that effect is needed.

@LineysRun I completely agree! Yes it's a public forum but people do post very sensitive things and there should be clear warnings so they can at least think about changing details. I don't understand why it's impossible to do anything about it either. I'd be devastated if some of the things I've posted appeared on the daily mail website or similar. It's not that it's private on here but it's just not the intention to have that then appear in a totally different context, in a far more exposed way as a piece of entertainment. Just awful. I'm so cross and upset for @Mebutnotasyouknow it.

Mebut you're not stupid or naive, they're total shits to take a thread like that about your marriage and air it however anonymously. Huge hugs for you.

Every post should start with "the Daily Mail is shite" so they feel less inclined to quote where the story came from/ send people to view the post/screenshot the post.

Im so sorry me
Iv said the same, i will never post with any problems now.
I don't even post on threads that i think will be picked up just incase now.
Its a shame but this site is not a safe place anymore.
Not sure im going to stay a member.

I wrote about something upsetting and two years later when I googled for information on something similar my original mumsnet post popped up. It was very identifying and so I asked mumsnet admin to delete the post, which thankfully they agreed to do

I honestly think that when an MNer hits 'post' on their first post of the day or whenever they start a thread a pop up message should say something like "Your post is public and we cannot guarantee that it will not be picked up by other media sources. Click to continue and post" or something like that. I know we all pretty much know it's a risk we take in order to get the help we need, or to offer help to others, put I don't think a reminder now and again would be out of order.

Either fuck that fuck or fuck every fuck other fuck word fuck in fuck every fuck post fuck we fuck make fuck should fuck be fuck fuck.

I'm pretty sure that years ago someone's story on here ended up in the press and she was outed in real life. I think it caused a huge problems. I'd forgotten about it until now.

Maybe some of the old schoolers will remember- Maryz do you remember- she was a regular poster?

Anyway. I'll probably deregister with this account and log in with the name I used to use at some point. But I don't think I'm ever going to be able to share any personal problems again. It's a shame because MNetters have got me through some fairly serious stuff in the past and I've been in a few meet ups. Now I'm just glad no one knows who I am.

This behaviour is a massive problem for mumsnet now.

The business model of the site requires people to share troubles/dilemmas/funnies.

That was compromised after penis beaker, really.

What does pbp mean?
