Deletions due to being discussed elsewhere

Hi

I was wondering if this is going to be the case for all posts now? Can they be deleted just because they’re discussed elsewhere?


It’s a public forum of course all posts might be discussed elsewhere, that’s the risk you take when you post online.


Why doesn’t this happen when people’s threads end up on Facebook/twitter pages dedicated to slating MN users? Not to mention the scummy journos who lift entire threads on here but MNHQ are happy to keep them?


I thought you didn’t delete threads unless against guidelines etc? Is this going to be a new guideline? Must not be discussed on certain forums?

We had to extend the house when Dh found “a bargain” three piece suite. The 4k it costs us to build a conservatory to make room for it or the fact some of it had to be stored in his dads garage apparently does to mitigate its bargainousness.

We had picked the sofa and chair together, discussed the fact that the playroom (dining room) is very narrow and there would be no room with a giant pouffe

All he had to do was order it and pay for it

Ok fair enough, I thought you were one of the Reddit posters who are intent on discrediting Grommit and 'proving' she's a troll and a man.

Give it a rest? I've only made 1 comment. I meant it was strange that Grommit reactivated a dormant thread to talk about her plight on Reddit when there's nothing in the thread title or op to even suggest it is to do with Reddit. But I guess she must have had time to browse through other talk threads during her distress yesterday and happened upon this one.

It's not strange at at all Tim the OP can see and click on anything in active convos the same as the rest of us. Give it a rest now, eh?

Not as bad as dh honey

I sent him off for a small sofa and chair within budget and he came home with an extra ginormous pouffe that cost as much as the sofa!!

You allowed your DH to go shopping for furniture? Hmm ALONE??? Shock

Good God woman, then you deserve all you get. Have you learned nothing of menfolk so far? Think yourself lucky it was only a giant pouffe he came home with and not a wall to wall, floor to ceiling tropical fish tank or one of those outdoor hot tub abominations. Sex soup. Eeeugh.

How strange that you came to this thread to post about your situation. How do you even know it's to do with Reddit?

Grommit - “I set up a thread over there to challenge them and have just been abused again... stuff they were saying about me over there feels worse than the rape”

Without meaning to hurt your feelings, I have to say that this sounds like the time to draw on RL relationships rather than get into arguments with strangers on the internet.

There were more than a few people 'troll hunting' on the thread on here this morning.

Return - MNHQ said they had were pulled due to reports and that sadly they couldn't do anything about the troll hunting on Reddit (obviously) but would deal with any here. They were lovely about it.

This thread wasn't about you Grommit. And your threads here weren't pulled because of you being discussed on Reddit. They were pulled because lots of people on MN reported them.

Oh good, because it's been a shitstorm, I'm knackered and can't be doing with it anymore. God bigger concerns than those cunts over there.

I'm not sure that was the thread which inspired the OP here, Grommit. I think @Dippingmytoesin was talking about a thread about a split up.

Erm, hi. OP of the pulled thread here.

I contacted MNHQ to ask them if they could do anything about the fact that some posters from MN were ripping me to shreds on Reddit, using the same names they used here on occasion. I know that Reddit is sod all to do with them, but am in disbelief that posters are able to post bile about mumsnetters over there, then post here still.

My OP was about being raped. On the Reddit thread I have been called a "male masturbatory fantasist", "troll" and other, awful things.

I only provided details about what happened to me as posters told me I was being "vague". I set up a thread over there to challenge them and have just been abused again.

I no longer care if they believe me or not. I am just amazed that there are people so absolutely vicious. The stuff they were saying about me over there feels worse than the rape.

Apparently I had sock puppets and name change failures and alsorts. Which is weird as I was asleep by 02:30 and haven't seen what was posted after that!

Bloody awful people on there.

I do that as well Dixie, I use them as sandwich boxes/salad boxes for work. It's more environmentally friendly I would have thought to reuse a box once than throw it away?

Ooh honey, I would have RAGED at that. We have 4 TVs. There are 3 of us. One in my room - never used, one in DDs room - never used. One in playroom - used maybe monthly.
He bought them all.

He wants one in the kitchen because the woman who lived here before left her TV mount behind.
No. No. No.
