Why did my post disappear?

[user143677435]

I wrote a long post on the bargain referral thread. As soon as I posted it, it said it was hidden while MNHQ took a look at it. It has now disappeared without a trace, with no notification to me.

It was a review of Gousto, so hardly inflammatory or controversial, and several other users have posted similar with no problems. I tried to be genuinely helpful to others who may want to try it. And it any case, it’s not showing as deleted, it’s just disappeared. What’s going on please? I don’t want to spend time and effort on a post for it to disappear. It’s bad enough when threads get deleted.

Hi there,

Thanks for getting in touch. Our systems flagged this thread as spam and zapped it.

We've had a look and confirm it is okay - please feel free to repost and apologies for the inconvenience. Here is your post below:

"I know there have been quite a few GOUSTO referrals on the thread, but I just wanted to add a really genuine recommendation and review.

We’ve had three boxes now and are completely converted.

I was sceptical at first but thought it couldn’t hurt at 70% off.

I went for the 4 meals for 4 people option.
I thought the portion sizes would be small, so was completely expecting to supplement with rice/pasta/bread but they are really generous portions (more than enough, with leftovers, for two adults and 2 ravenous teenage boys).

Everything we have had had been really delicious.

I love the recipe cards, which mean you can cook the exact same meal again from supermarket ingredients.
I have been describing it as an “interactive cookbook” for finding new favourite recipes.

DH has cooked at least half the meals due to novelty value.

Teenage DSs are fascinated and have started to cook for themselves, building up a repertoire of meals that can do.
They love the idea that by the time they get to uni they could have 20+ meals that they are confident to make completely from scratch, without having to buy a kit each time (because you cook the first time from the kit, but then you have the recipe).

It’s also reduced my grocery bills because absolutely everything is in the box apart from oil, salt and pepper.
It also really reduces the mental load of meal planning.

I’m finding that the week tends to be:
4 nights of Gousto meals
1 night leftovers
1 night takeaway/fakeaway
1 night of store-cupboard meal (beans on toast/jacket potato/soup) on the night when we are at various clubs/sports etc
So all I’m really buying in the weekly shop is cereal, milk, and pack lunch stuff.

You get 70% off your first box and then 25% off for the first 2 months. I get £20 credit.

It’s limited time and the 70% off is only until 14th March

Thank you! 😊
