Can someone tell me why some messages get withdrawn? Offensive? Just being nosey really, the withdrawn messages always intrigue me the most!

could be any reason.

Perhaps they were offensive, perhaps the poster decided that she didn't want to say what she had posted after all, perhaps someone gave out too much personal information...

Tis easy enough to do, you just click on the exclamation mark at the right hand side of the post and report it to MNHQ and they will do it as soon as they see it (assuming there is a valid reason)

But sometimes they are slow (particularly at weekends, they will insist on having what some people call a "life")

Normally offensive, unless "at poster's request" then they normally said summat they regret

I never even noticed the exclamation mark - amazing observation skills!

Cruel CSWS!

if you request it it says:

Message withdrawn at poster's request.

Sometimes posters ask for all their messages to be removed, specially if they have given out information which might allow someone to find them in RL

You do sometimes get: 'Poster withdrawn, and given a good talking to up a dark alley'.

Well, you never actually read that, but perhaps you should on ocassion.

Sometimes people post their email addresses to enable others to contact them - then ask for the post to be withdrawn later for privacy reasons.

I asked for a post to be removed once when another poster inadvertently put my real name on here.
