Well this hasn't appeared in Active although earlier posts are still on the list

That’s interesting.
@MNHQ is there a reason for this?

Pythagonal · 11/04/2018 00:28

It's showing up now.

TyneTeas · 11/04/2018 00:30

There are a lot of trans threads on Feminist Chat at the moment (the vast majority on the first two pages right now are), however if there has been a decision to take them off Active, it does perhaps 'risk' them being more frequently started on other boards

It hasn't shown up for me in either mobile or desktop and I don't recall seeing any Feminism Chat threads showing in Active this evening

what are the criteria for a thread, say from aibu, getting into active conversations.

I know that sen threads are hidden from active for some reason.

BlackeyedSusan · 11/04/2018 00:46

It is not showing up on the 100 threads with new messages.

AnitaLovesVictor · 11/04/2018 01:23

I've noticed FWR threads that come up with a search, when you try to click on them, you get the biscuit.

But when you actually manually look through FWR - the thread is still there.

Krakauer · 11/04/2018 01:52

Why on earth are SEN threads not shown in active?

CircleSquareCircleSquare · 11/04/2018 02:06

Maybe this is for evenings only?

ChattyLion · 11/04/2018 05:09

There’s threads in Active (multiple style and beauty ones!) that haven’t been posted on for a hour. My very recent post to Feminism chat is not showing in Active. Eh? Why not?

ReluctantCamper · 11/04/2018 06:18

I have reported this thread to @MNHQ with the following text:

The OP is right, there should be at least 2 FWR threads in active based on their most recenbt posting time. Can you explain what's going on here?

This is a bit weird.

LostArt · 11/04/2018 07:11

People noticed SEN threads were missing from active too. Maybe it's a glitch?

rememberthetime · 11/04/2018 07:15

I've noticed this the last two days. Could be a tactic to prevent people stumbling onto threads and then complaining about them.

AnitaLovesVictor · 11/04/2018 08:15

SEN threads are deliberately not shown in active, because they were attracting a load of trolls. Unbelievable, but there you go.It was decided to try and give people posting about their dc's SENs a bit more privacy- it's a very supportive place.

OTBT (Off the beaten track) also doesn't show up in active, or google searches.

Lefthanddown · 11/04/2018 08:20

SEN is missing from active (I think) because parents would start a thread re their child and people would come along and say it's not a problem, it doesn't matter that your child can't write age 7.

It happened years ago with the consent of parents.

I know people on the site have complained about the FWR board always being trans, MN are being pressured for allowing talk re the consequence of Self ID, so....

Lefthanddown · 11/04/2018 08:26

SEN hasn't been in active for years as far as I'm aware. I recall a thread years ago where parents were asking for it not to show in active due to unsupportive comments from parents of Neurotypical children.

As MN are under pressure from MN users and external groups to close down the threads on FWR, I presume that's why threads aren't showing in active

LostArt · 11/04/2018 08:30

I don't think some of the education threads are showing either. But can't remember which topics I've hidden, so that might be just me

ChattyLion · 11/04/2018 08:32

Confused But hiding FWR is not a solution to ‘too many trans threads’ in FWR in a site where anyone can start a thread in on whatever they want. (..Not saying that you’re saying it is)

It could be a response to TRA calls to silence women, but I thought MN wanted to allow this discussion? Many of us have literally no other place to discuss this.

Krakauer · 11/04/2018 08:38

That is so unbelievably sad about trolls and the SEN threads being hidden Sad

LostArt · 11/04/2018 08:45

No, I'm wrong. The education thread is now on active, although I wasn't twenty minutes ago. I'm hiding lots of threads, but this one isn't appearing in my active.

PompholyxOfUnknownOrigin · 11/04/2018 09:02

could someone tell me what FWR stands for please?

AnitaLovesVictor · 11/04/2018 09:04

Feminism/Women's Rights.

PompholyxOfUnknownOrigin · 11/04/2018 09:05

Thank you Anita
