Aargh! The annoyance of going to look at a thread you've been on and enjoying and finding this message in its place. The worst part is not knowing or being able to work out why.

I was on a thread a day or two ago that I thought was pretty benign and inoffensive, so was mystified and disappointed to find it deleted and having broken guidelines. It must have taken a very bizarre turn!

AIBU to wish there was just a little explanation, literally one or two words as to what was done wrongly when the "broken guidelines" message appears, be it on a post or whole thread? Would help us not make the same mistake again, after all!

Hi all,
That was my fault, sorry! It was one of several threads started by the same troll - we deleted them all at the same time, hence the standard message. Point taken though and we’ll make sure we give more info in cases like this, because it was a rather innocuous thread really.
Do remember you’re always welcome to drop us a line if you want more info about a deletion, we're happy to help clear up any confusion.
Regarding the titles disappearing, though, this is something we will need to tell Tech about, could you possibly tell us which browser you are using, @RightOnTheEdge ?

But but but... @HopeMumsnet I didn't say which thread I was talking about!
It wasn't the insomnia one, nor the one there's another AIBU about.

It was "Can you smell illness on others?" which was about, well, smelling illness. It also went on to other feats of olfactory prowess, like smelling ladybirds.
I didn't see the issue, and deletion message only says breaks guidelines, not troll or PBP.

Do you have the title of the thread? We'll have another dig and double check what happened here!

Hi @Lycanthropology oh yes, I've found it and it's not the thread @HopeMumsnet was referring to - not your fault this time, Hope! 😁

The OP had some pretty glaring inconsistencies in their posting history and were banned as a result. OBVIOUSLY this should have been noted in the deletion message and we're really sorry about that. Also take your point that the discussion was otherwise an interesting one and we could have let it run.
