Deleting the regular information roundup on the Ukraine War Threads.

[DucklingSwimmingInstructress]

Mumsnet what on earth are you playing at?

I have done a roundup of information from 4 different Ukraine news outlets for THREE years now, almost every day. You know this. You've seen it, the thread has been reported when unpleasant people invade the thread; it's one of the most long running threads in Chat. It serves a purpose.

Today, in your infinite and oh so great wisdom, you decided to delete the 20 minutes' work I'd done on the Kyiv Independent Telegram thread.

This is the message I got:
Hi there,
Thanks for getting in touch. We have checked and in fact deleted your post altogether because it was really just a wall of cut and paste links rather than a considered contribution to the discussion.
Best,
Hope

These threads have been useful to people for 3 years. They are read and commented on and the curated information, I've been told, is useful. On the basis of these threads as a whole, one person even put together a vanload of supplies and took it to Ukraine.

They take hours and hours of my time.

If you had a problem with the posts, then why start now and not three years ago?

Please restore it.

Thank you! :)

Glad its sorted now

its the copying and pasting at a guess

Not hard to guess, when the official reason given was "We have checked and in fact deleted your post altogether because it was really just a wall of cut and paste links rather than a considered contribution to the discussion."

Glad it is sorted and thanks for continuing to post the links and information

There's a rule against copying and pasting information in a thread that's specifically about providing information?

when i discussed with one of the admins once because it was useing eg wikipedia , your not allowed to direct copy and paste, even if its providing info,

Illuminating.

Wow, that's kinda ridiculous, we're not writing essays for uni here. Glad they backtracked because those info roundups are so helpful.
