MNHQ, why was this thread deleted?

Why was the AIBU thread

'To think that this man should not be allowed to live in student halls'

deleted?

Deletion message states that personal information was divulged, but it wasn't: there was a link to legitimate news sites that reported the info. Public domain!

Why are you more interested in protecting a violent criminal than the youngsters he may gain access to? Why can't we discuss this?

MN - if this information cannot be in the public domain, please tell us why.

To hear a genuine and reasonable reason why it shouldn’t be public would probably put my mind at rest greatly on the issue.

And other universities need to get the message loud and clear that this sort of thing is not acceptable @MonsteraDeliciosa

Indeed @GinWithChocolate .

Till now I'd have thought that it went without saying.

  • its in the public domain
  • he was convicted, there's no sub judice issues here
  • very many MNers will have DCs at uni age and have an interest in knowing this
  • and it's a really, really shit decision from the university, the sort of thing that MN should be all over given its membership.

Would love an explanation

GCAcademic · 23/10/2022 19:16

Has there been contact from Cardiff Uni to MN for instance?

I'd put money on it.

Thank you to all the posters bringing this to a wider audience.

Shame on MNHQ for deleting the threads and helping to protect a killer and a disgraceful public body, whilst leaving young women at risk.

KILLER????? Nobody died. Do please check the facts.

The poster has already corrected their mistake. Please do read the thread.

Yes 2bazookas please do check your facts. I corrected my mistake immediately after posting. If you were as proficient at fact checking as you expect others to be you wouldn't have posted your comment. Pot, Kettle springs to mind.

Thread in Feminism is still around, interestingly.

Perhaps it's just a matter of time 😒

Have you reported this thread to draw MNHQ's attention to it? Despite this board's name, they do not routinely read it.

CherieBabySpliffUp · 23/10/2022 19:34

Who's taking bets on this thread being deleted before anyone at MNHQ answers the question Hmm

MonsteraDeliciosa · 23/10/2022 19:37

I've reported it.

Hawkins001 · 23/10/2022 19:42

I must admit, it's puzzling

CornishTiger · 23/10/2022 19:44

I would like to know this too.

TheNinthLock · 23/10/2022 19:54

I would like to know this too. I have a colleague with a child at Cardiff and a friend whose dd is seriously considering applying to Cardiff.
MN used to get behind important issues, what has changed?

I’d not be surprised in the least.

FreedaDonkey · 23/10/2022 19:57

I saw this earlier on Wiwikau and was disgusted, it's not been deleted there as far as I can tell so no idea why MN deleted it. It's in the papers.

Pixiedust1234 · 23/10/2022 19:59

Posting to add my support. I would like to know as well.

Skinnermarink · 23/10/2022 20:02

HQ have just deleted a troll thread asking about centre Parcs being overrated 🤷🏻‍♀️ So they’re definitely about tonight. waves

To be fair, centre parcs are over rated

That the university Facebook group ?

Snowjive2 · 23/10/2022 20:10

This thread started 2 hours ago. It’s an important question. Why no answer, MNHQ?

LOL it's funny because it's true.

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 23/10/2022 20:11

Hi folks - so sorry, it looks like this was deleted in error. We'll reinstate it shortly.

PeekabooAtTheZoo · 23/10/2022 20:12

Mainly though I commented fairly early on the other thread and was hoping to catch up on that thread's important discussion this evening.

iklboo · 23/10/2022 20:14

Thank you @YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet. Sense prevails.
