Posted helpfully on a thread the other day. There might have been 10-12 posts in total. I was tagged, so logged on to find this deletion message
"Thread deleted
Message from MNHQ: Thanks to all who have posted with help and advice so far. The OP has had second thoughts about this thread - it's a little sensitive and contains a fair amount of identifying info. We've agreed to take it down now."
Mumsnet - I am done. I thoughtfully took time to support one of your users for free, my time, no cost to you. This excuse about "identifying" is just rubbish. Poster was a little bit hysterical, over the top, but with only 10-12 posts - there is no way that thread was ever going to be identifying. I can no longer spend my time, emotional energy and effort supporting users on a site, where, on a whim, that thread will be pulled.
I dont even get to keep my comments - they were thoughtful, hopefully helpful. You know that many of us believe our comments should stand so they are useful to future users. Surely that is the whole point of nicknames - users remain anonymous.
I get deletions for PBP, trolls etc. Thank you for those deletions. But not this.
