Are there published statistics on deleted threads/posts?

Sorry for asking if this is somewhere in a FAQ.
I was wondering today, after seeing the umpteenth "Mumsnet is transphobic" post if there are statistics on how many threads and individual posts are deleted here? When a post is reported there is the opportunity to select a reason, or other (with explanation). Would it be possible to see a summary of these deletions?

preferably with the total number of posts/threads made in that time-frame (eg, monthly, quarterly, annually)

The reason i ask is that here and elsewhere i see "MN is so hatefully transphobic" but i see that conversations about trans issues, or touching the trans topic, are often swiftly moved to the FWR board or deleted.

And even on the FWR board it seems that there are parameters about what can be said before being deemed transphobic and zapped. I'm fine with parameters, as long as i know what they are, but i am uncomfortable with the accusation of transphobia without investigation or evidence to back that up.

Hello @Brefugee right now, we don't have summaries of deleted posts. With regard to parameters - you're probably familiar with our guidelines on this specific issue, which allow for civil and mutually respectful debate, rather than a prescriptive 'tick box' of what is or isn't allowed.

We sometimes move threads to FWR but take this on a case-by-case basis and we'll only remove a thread or post if it breaks our guidelines.
