MNHQ, I know we're not allowed a TAAT but asking on here seems best. Why on earth was the "Sick of hearing about..." thread about the media coverage of cancer deleted? OP clearly took her time to explain her point in a measured way and many of us agreed with her. There surely can't be anyone on here who hasn't been affected by cancer in one way or another, why is only one viewpoint accepted?

Hi @JenniferBarkley we'll take a look at this now and get back to you shortly.

Hi again @JenniferBarkley thanks for raising this with us. We've had a retrospective look at the moderation decisions here and agree that we were too hasty in removing the thread. Threads that are 'difficult' (for want of a better word) inevitably draw lots of reports but that shouldn't mean we can't have those discussions.

We can also see that lots of posters with personal experience of cancer were in agreement with the OP and it was emerging as an interesting thread. With that in mind, we've reinstated it now and will leave it to stand provided it stays on track.

Obviously, we encourage everyone to report posts you think break our guidelines - and we're thankful to all who do - but if it's a case of just not liking a thread, do bear in mind you have the option to hide it.

Thanks.

Hi folks

We deleted the SSE thread because we had some concerns. We can't really chat about them here but if it gets ironed out, we'll reinstate it.
