Why was my post hidden?

Hi

My post was immediately hidden on my Drinking Establishments thread in Chat. I can't work out why.

Nothing dodgy in it I don't think...

Someone was probably offended.... this is mumsnet after all. Always posters who are uptight

MrsTerryPratchett · 10/04/2023 17:49

No, it was instantaneous. The second I posted it. Even the most easily offended would have taken a second to report Grin

Contained a link? Some links are automatically hidden until they are assessed by a breathing person!

No links, gifs, no pictures. I think I did @ someone but in a friendly fashion!

That is odd then! Have you posted again on the thread?

pickledandpuzzled · 10/04/2023 21:39

What time was it? There is t even a deleted post message around 5.30.

MrsTerryPratchett · 10/04/2023 22:28

I can see it. If I filter by my posts.

And I posted just after and that one was fine.

That's extra weird then. Invisible posts.

There are some words that make posts automatically deleted i think like a term for "chewy sweets."

Hi there,
The posters here know what's what and have given good thoughts, but if you're still curious do report in with the url and we'll have a more explicit answer?

She has said there was no link.

What url are you expecting?

Toffee? Trebor Softmints? Wine gums?

The report will contain the URL if she reports directly from the hidden post, then we can have a look?

pickledandpuzzled · 11/04/2023 09:15

I've reported it and tagged you. I'm now so curious...

Fruit pastilles?

Someone is going to have to spell it out for me

I believe the first three letters are g u m, then the next four are mies. Despite them being a way to take vitamins.

Ooooh

I tested, and yes, the chewy sweets do automatically prompt a hide, presumably because they're a staple of cannabis-related spam.

Can MNHQ do the same with witch doctors? Every now and then there's an absolute deluge of them claiming to fix your love life.

Cheers @Pixiedust1234!
