‘We’re takin it down now’??!

The mental health thread has been zapped. I suppose I should have expected it - I was feeling raw last night and probably opened up more than I should have on here. Lots of other women were frank and open about the impact of the current women’s rights issues on their mental health and it made for somber reading but fucking hell it was a testament to the feeling of so many women on here. And it was deleted because of the opening post, even though that was written over 2 years ago?! It wasn’t ‘civil’ apparently. I can’t remember what it said to be honest. Maybe it overstepped I don’t know. But I’m raging at the cavalier deletion message that ended with ‘we’re takin it down’ - sounds like something you’d say in a computer game. If my post contravened anything I would have appreciated a message from MN. Especially given the nature of the posts I would have expected some sensitivity rather than the gung ho deletion message.

I appreciate this will get deleted too as a TAAT but just thought I’d vent.

Hi all. We're taking another look at that thread now. Please bear with us.

And @Womantheonlykind apologies, we don't think that the strike applies, we'll remove it and email you.

Hi all, and thanks for bearing with us.
It looks like we missed the fact that the thread was first posted in 2018 but had only recently been posted on after being dormant for a while.

We've reinstated the thread now - but it's likely to attract reports because it's out of its original context.
It looks like a discussion about mental health in response to a parliamentary debate, and now that the thread has been revived, that context is missing. And it has become a current thread because it's a conversation that's featured in Active topics - so more people will read and react to it.

Our moderation has changed since November 2018 - we adapt and refine our approach, always with the aim of encouraging civil debate.

Reviving old threads doesn't happen often (which is possibly why we missed this one) but we'll do our best to take context into account and continue to moderate within the principle of civil debate.
