why is mn so slow to delete threads

[2shoeshatesbigots]

with disablist terms in them?
yet are about at the time?

Which thread 2shoes? Maybe if others report it, it'll go faster?

here
i know it looks like I am stirring but the word in the op is offensive and disablist(not going to put it on sn)
I reported, zilch, yet they just deleted a nasty thread, so are about.

Would have given up half way through that post, so would have missed that.

Watch those .....

i know.
I must stop.
I AM really trying.
maybe I will stop using .

just to remind me.

Hello 2shoes. You should have had a mail from us by now.

i have thanks
I think the bit in the guide lines is very good.

I'm not good with computers, so I don't understand why mumsnet don't have an edit facility. Then you could point out when a poster was being prejudiced and offensive and they could edit their post. Learning would have taken place. When a thread gets deleted, some people get annoyed about it and that means the point is lost. Better to see an apology and correction.

Oh, and I often use three dots. They are a punctuation type known as ellipses and totally appropriate in many instances.
Reclaim your dots 2shoes!

thats a good idea Goblin not that I go on there regulary, but netmums has a filter type thing, which out offensive words, I think it even does it for spastic. hence someone discrining CP and spastic diplegic for example looks like diplegic!

The difficulty is that you don't want to censor swearing as such, just specific offensive words. So better for someone to be told why they're being unacceptable and they can edit their own words.
The Urban Dictionary has hundreds of thousands of offensive racist, disablist and sexist words, and they change all the time. I think a swear filter would blow a gasket.
