As part of their support for Pride, £80,000 is being donated to Mermaids.

Mimmymummy is overjoyed.

Two deletions now! In case anyone was wondering what I said that was so controversial, I talked about by DH's concern about that company who advocate unnecessary medical treatment of children and its effect in leading him to the mountaintop view on these issues. And it looks like the phrase, which I learnt on Mumsnet, is now out of bounds. Happy to get more creative with my language!

And then how he's now working through our Tesco accounts with various arms of their business and deleting them. Two accounts down already, and currently on the phone to another.

Why has that phrase been put in the sin bin? Wtf??

SerenityNowwwww · 03/07/2020 12:32

Pokey tanktops?

Perhaps it leads the to unsuspecting posters googling an unknown phrase and stumbling across something that leads them along the same path?

Am I allowed to say Owain is a massive wankbadger? Asking for a friend.

Distractable · 03/07/2020 12:38

How do I ask Mumsnet Towers the reason for the deletions? I've only just started to post etc after long time lurking so I'm not sure how to do it!

ArriettyJones · 03/07/2020 12:40

Report the relevant post and as nicely on the report screen.

ArriettyJones · 03/07/2020 12:41

ASK nicely^

SuckingDieselFella · 03/07/2020 12:44

@Distractable I clicked 'report' on my post which was deleted and asked for an explanation. I also made them aware that this thread has been screenshotted on twitter and posters are being subjected to 'TERF' style abuse. These two events may not be unconnected...

@JustHereWithMyPopcorn Owain is allowed to say I am a member of Stormfront Grin so you can go right ahead.

Distractable · 03/07/2020 12:52

Thanks all. I have reported myself! I moderate a Facebook page and have every sympathy with the hardworking mods here. Would be good to get clarity though!

GrandmaMazur · 03/07/2020 12:56

Have written

Distractable · 03/07/2020 13:03

Just scrolling through threads and I notice that someone else has used that phrase that I think led to my deletions. Just this morning! Looking forward to my response from the mods now.

SuckingDieselFella · 03/07/2020 13:40

Not all threads are policed by wankbadgers.

Thisismytimetoshine · 03/07/2020 13:54

It may not be the actual phrase itself, MNHQ have a very strange moderation policy.
Post reported? Delete, no questions asked, on the grounds that someone Has Been Offended.
Whether it's objectively, deliberately offensive doesn't seem to be a factor at all.

Very handy for any thin skinned weasel with a grudge 🤷🏻‍♀️

SerenityNowwwww · 03/07/2020 13:56

so what cant we say? Is there a list? Do we have to guess? Is it like in Oranges are not the only fruit where she is sating all the bad words she can think of?

If only there was a like button.
SuckingDieselFella · 03/07/2020 14:02

I bet this is the most fun some wankbadgers have had all year.

You can just picture them two-finger typing in their mum's spare room.

@LankyScot They moved their HQ from Cheshunt to Welwyn Garden City a few years ago - but I guess it may still be sent on?

Pretty sure that’s ok.
LankyScot · 03/07/2020 15:39

Dah! Thank you. After the move was HQ called "New New Tesco House"?

fatblackcatspaw · 03/07/2020 15:41

sorry just leaping in here - have you tried Iceland? total life saver for me when Asda failed big time. They do do fresh stuff, choice is limited, one kind of tinned tomato one kind of ground coffee but that has its freedom. And the frozen fish is marvellous. (And I know that a post about food deliveries is a ridiculous thing to make me join Mumsnet which I've held off as I don't have any children but I've been really impressed by your boards here - on twitter same handle)

Sexnotgender · 03/07/2020 15:42

Turns out I follow you already😊 and you me.

SerenityNowwwww · 03/07/2020 15:43

Sexnotgender - no I believe that if you prefix comments with 'I think' or 'In my opinion' that makes it alright.
