You deleted a thread this morning and the deletion message stated that you did so because "it contained inaccurate information and narratives".
On this basis 50%+ of threads on here should be deleted. Perhaps far more.
Yes it did contain nonsense, but many of us spent our time correcting it and posting research and actual information to refute the nonense so it is important for that to remain.
Some posters responded to the information posted saying it was interesting and wanting to know more. If the whole thread is deleted then all of the useful information posted to refute the nonsense - information that seemed to be helping people who read it to understand the issues better and more scientifically - vanishes as well.
Can you explain what criteria you used to assess whether to delete this thread and to decide to do so, compared to many other threads containing far more misinformation and less accurate information refuting it? I see far larger quantities of "inaccurate information" or "narratives" on Mumsnet daily.
You may well have had a good reason for deleting it but if so please explain it. The reason given makes no sense at all given what else that it far worse in terms of accuracy, you let stand. So please as a minimum be transparent about why you deleted it as the reason stated stands no scrutiny.
It's also depressing and irritating when people have invested their time in posting to prove inaccurate nonsense wrong and then you delete the whole thing. Why should we continue to bother to do so if you will do this? And if the sane and rational posters do not bother - because you will delete the thread anyway - discussion will degenerate further and become more "inaccurate" with nobody sane or informed to point out the obvious flaws in the nonsense.
Very depressing and I hope you'll either reconsider and put the thread back, or explain exactly how the inaccuracy here (that was called out!) is worse than that in so many other threads about Brexit or politics or the cost of living or pregnancy etc.
Informed posters will not bother to continuw to provide facts if the whole thing gets taken down like this for spurious reasons.
So why did you do that in this case? The reasons stated in the deletion message don't stand up to 5 seconds of scrutiny.
