Love Island Thread gone poof!

19 replies

The Love Island thread on Telly Addicts has disappeared and there's no trace of it. Not showing on my list of I'm On with any deletion message and apparently I am not the only one.

Will it be reinstated or do we need to start a new one?

OP posts:

doesn’t even say why 🤔

Could it possibly have been started by a user who has asked all their posts to be removed?

Mumsnet only typically do this in extreme circumstances these days. I'd guess the OP possibly was one of the posters doxxed in yesterday's data breach.

Please could you clarify HQ?

The message on the vanished thread was "this thread has been withdrawn" and nothing else. Not "at OP's request" or "because it's not in the spirit of Mumsnet" or any of the other deletion messages we usually see on troll threads or bunfight threads.

So - please tell us why it has gone? A thread like that does not really belong to the OP, it's a community thread for everyone to contribute to as an equal.

IF (and it's only an if) the op wanted to disappear from MN because of privacy worries then just their posts could have been deleted.

The rest of us want the thread back please! Could you kindly comment?

I've never previously seen that bald "this thread has been withdrawn" message in 15ish years on Mumsnet.

Bump

CarpyDiem · 07/06/2022 19:44

I can't see why it needed to be zapped - but if there were posts which crossed the line, couldn't they have gone, rather than the whole thread.

And we know, from MN past and what was done to protect Riven's identity, that you don't need to pull a whole thread even when there is an extremely high-profile outing

OnlyHereForPete · 07/06/2022 20:25

Bump. I love the MN Love Island threads, better than the show itself!

Princessoftheuniverse · 07/06/2022 20:26

Could we please have a reason for the original t thread being deleted. Unusual not to have one. Thank you.

Nomad916 · 07/06/2022 20:30

I suppose someone will have to create a new one?

We're all posting on the Where's the old thread gone thread. Would be good to know why the old one disappeared though

TitsInAbsentia · 07/06/2022 20:50

If there was a problem it would be good for us to know!

MinglingFlamingo · 07/06/2022 20:58

Yes!!! We have all moved on to this thread!

Useranon1 · 07/06/2022 21:59

@mnhq whaaaaaaat happened?!

LilyMumsnet · 07/06/2022 22:03

Hi all

With the current situation, we are deleting posts at request. The last thing we want to do is cause anyone unnecessary concern.

Thanks for making a new thread. Might stick it on TV soon, I must be missing out!

Hello

You can read about it here: www.mumsnet.com/talk/site_stuff/4564026-change-in-format-of-response-to-report-emails

We are in currently in discussion with everyone involved (about 20 posters) so there's nothing to worry about from this point on. But we know it's concerning, and we're really sorry for that. Flowers

FFS has the new one gone poof too? Can’t comment on it

runningfromreality · 14/06/2022 21:36

Ok I’ve made a new thread having realised we got to 1000 posts! Called Love Island behaving ourselves. Can’t work out how to link.
