the internet today.

Thank you!

and No.

Yes - and I will send them an email.

I archived up to about 950 posts, I think, so maybe didn't get some of hte last few that were deleted. I hope I did it right! Is this working?

So many deletions :(

131 - I counted! Quite the tally.

Even posts by women who very, very rarely get deleted like Datun as she is so good at making her point while sticking assiduously to the rules.

If I've archived it correctly (fingers crossed) then the whole thread could probably be sent to the 50/50 committee. I don't expect they'd read it, but there is plenty of evidence there of women respectfully stating their cases and explaining why the current situation is unfair and untenable.

Wow. So many deletions.
I read that thread as it was going on and caught up on the end of it this morning. I don't recall anything that broke explicit guidelines. It was mostly women stating that we deserve political representation and saying 'no'.
I'd genuinely like to know what rules were broken there because that's not on.

Oh thanks ArabellaScott. I'm going to have a look and see what was deleted.

I think quite a few of yours were deleted Turtles so I am glad to see you here.

I got a deletion. Not sure what for.

Maybe we're not supposed to say NO?
I didn't contribute but I read, was a very interesting thread and I suppose good that it was / is allowed to stand at all.

We should never underestimate how psychologically weakening and damaging it is to be forced to treat as true something that is not true, with the effect strengthening the more obviously false it is'

I did make a very similar point in post 999. It's a power trip.

Yes, I'd like to know, too. Perhaps it depends on who is doing the reporting?

I imagine it's still attracting reports and that MNHQ will be under huge pressure right now to take the whole thread down, even though it's full.
It's interesting that they seem to have deleted posts without issuing strikes but I'm still concerned about casualties.

Not 999, that was a different point. 990.

I also think that, for the most part, whether or not you were reported is as much about who you are as about anything you wrote.

Wow I'm.wading through the thread. If some of those posters got deleted then something is really up.

My god. I've got a copy of one of my deleted posts and I genuinely am not sure how it broke Talk Guidelines.
It was either due to referring to non-specified politicians as being born male or objecting to the term 'bimbo pills'.
I know MN has to walk a careful line but that is really bad.

Bimbo pills is just so heartbreakingly offensive.

I'm on 2 strikes. Are people getting removed from here for 3. Given that I don't know in what way I have breached guidelines. I have emailed to ask. I'd better shut up for a bit.

Just caught up with that thread now. Well done everybody and great mic drop, Winesalot. What people like Robin don’t seem to understand is their insistence on colonising what it means to be female has reignited the feminist movement. Maybe that’s why we are all so obsessed ..

Whilst the battle is terrifying at times it has enabled me to connect with witty, intelligent and brilliant women which has only served to make my life richer. Solidarity, sisters.

There were some wonderful posts. I wonder if someone who archives could make a new account, with a new name and email address, and post all the deleted comments in a new thread. 🧐 that would be interesting to read.

Obviously the strike rate would be horrendous, so it would need careful consideration. I'd just really like to see the deleted posts. Perhaps out of the context of that thread they would be ok? I mean, they were all ok unless you were a man with a really fragile ego who can't bear dissent or truth.

I didn't post on that thread but read practically every page. There were superb comments from Barracker, Winesalot, Datun and many others, nothing offensive as far as I could see, just truthful replies, pointing out facts, certainly nothing libelous.

I think I had 3 or 4 deletions. One was for saying a certain person hadn't RTFT.

Do you know how many strikes you had Tinsel?

@Floisme

Do you know how many strikes you had Tinsel?

I'm assuming none as I've not had any emails.

I think they reserve the right to remove anything contentious whether or not it actually breaks talk guidelines in any objective sense.
