I saw that thread 4 was deleted with the message
about breaking Mumsnet guidelines.
The 3 previous threads were deleted too.

Which guidelines were broken?

I’m rethinking all the posts I’ve commented on now, the air wrap theft, the man pestering the woman at work. The latter having had lots of advice but seemingly no action?

I commented on the Air Wrap thread upthread, it actually came to a positive conclusion and then ended naturally so was probably true.

No one's commenting on that thread anymore and op has not been back. I think that speaks volumes

I invested in softzilla once. Was a fast learning curve.

Was this a troll? The threads are still up.

Perhaps they realise they were a bit too hasty in making another thread so soon after. If it’s them of course.

I think this feeds into OP's query about the inconsistency of when posts are deleted, kept, even moved to classics? Does that happen?

DuckbilledSplatterPuff · 06/03/2025 18:33

The whole thing has been a useful reminder that not every thread is what it seems, but it really has put me off posting, I'm finding. Still there's always the shopping threads.

Supposed to be reinstated now but keeps being delayed.

Being on the receiving end of seeing those images, I’d rather they delayed until it was fixed properly.

Were you expecting to be sent a link by that person that PM’d you?

I thought shark was a reference to Fonz in Happy Days. The series had really gone downhill when Fonz jumped over the shark surfing or jet skiiing.

That is where the expression comes from.

When the writers run out of ideas, they jump a shark

Of course it was fake. That was obvious from the OP of the first thread. Trolls have been overrunning MN for ages. A conservative estimate would be 50% of all threads in AIBU and Relationships are pure invention.

I think that's a very conservative guess

I don’t think so, why?

I wasn’t the person who was PMed, I was the person who saw it on the original thread at night, and then had more of them posted on the thread that I created to report them.

But regardless, my point was just that’s why PMs have been disabled, and presumably why it’s taking them a while to fix that. Also, I’m not sure why it matters whether the person was expecting a link or not. Best not to click on links, but it’s not her fault she was sent it. Anyway, that was my reason for posting.

I fell for it too stupidly. Honestly thought I was a bit more switched on. I think I believed it as I had stayed in a really abusive marriage for 5 years in my 20's despite everyone trying to get me out.

It did seem plausible, but yeah, looking back, honestly no one would take that and react like she did. My ex 's abuse was very insidious and not so much in your face. Definitely will stop me commenting in future, feel a bit daft now!

This is a thread about 4 deleted threads and the deletion message.

Don’t feel daft @Ang69 . Your comment may have helped someone.

I complimented Lavender95’s writing style and got told off for being passive aggressive.
I had asked for another to be deleted as it was definitely not passive aggressive.
I was trying to be polite.

Maybe my imagination is running away with me but is there a new one doing the rounds? Someone with a better tuned radar may know which one and if I’m just getting too caught up with imagining every thread about a twatty bf is from that poster 😁

AnneKipankitoo · 07/03/2025 08:35

@BunnyLake I have just been on one about a 6 year old child. It is being deleted now.
Seems that most of Mumsnet is a bit fake.😂

I'm wondering if that should be a new code

It wasn’t that one (I didn’t see that one). This one makes me wonder if I should make a note of it though.

Now I could be wrong and doing that OP a disservice (for which I apologise, as I don’t have good radar) but I seem to have started putting on a deerstalker and carrying a magnifying glass when I go on MN now. 😁

😁 I certainly feel like I’m channelling him now since that thread, although my mind might be working overtime, thinking every threads now a fake.😁
