There seem to be so many deletions on threads these days. I’ve had comments deleted that apparently broke Mumsnet guidelines that would have always stayed in the past - eg someone asked in a fashion thread about some shoes and I said they were “really fucking ugly”. It probably wasn’t a very nice comment but why does that break the guidelines? It’s not a targeted attack, it was an opinion on shoes when someone had asked for an opinion on shoes. I’ve seen loads of other people’s comments deleted in threads and it makes it really hard to follow when they’re being quoted everywhere. Again, not targeted attacks, just something that’s been reported because OP was called unreasonable or similar.
One of the things I always liked about MN was the fact the conversations weren’t tightly monitored like on Reddit or Netmums. It seems to have really changed over the last few months and I’m just wondering the reasoning behind it.
