A little village between Crewe and Chester.

[JellySaurus]

Are we explicitly banned from mentioning it? The Special Rules do not display on the app.

I had to download a very useful app- but have found the destination!
Banned? Seriously?

Home Fires was filmed there. 😉

Can someone please explain why Bunbury (which I live very close to) is banned??!

I have been deleted numerous times for mentioning either taking notice of that township or that Mrs B would advise going for a walk.

Got deleted for mentioning I was walking through hills too.

I believe it may be considered hunting for things starting with T that sometimes live under bridges. Or to be not in the spirit.

I now talk about checking on the quokkas.

What??

The Place With No Name?

I am so confused.

The 13th Edition is close to the top of the board at the moment so it's still in existence.

I don't see how it can be 'not in the spirit of the site' to encourage posters to keep their cool and avoid posting something that will be screenshotted in order to call MN into disrepute.

I don't see how it can be 'not in the spirit of the site' to encourage posters not to engage in attempts to derail threads.

I've had a post erased for linking to one of the related threads.

Well OP, I think it has to do with it not being welcoming and making some people feel excluded.

Has anyone had a deletion message from MNHQ to say why the place we must not name has been banned or are related posts or posts using the name just being deleted with no explanation?

I think I had one that said it was nits.

I mean, I also was once deleted for warning people that screenshots had been taken by a particular poster a day or so before the posted started a new thread.

Can someone please explain the origin of the reference (the one named after a village in Cheshire which is not to be confused with a similarly-named town in Oxfordshire)?

Took me a couple of seconds to work out you're not referring to headlice 😄

I got deleted the other day, apparently, according to the deletion message, because my post implied that gender dysphoria is a psychiatric condition (which it in fact is, listed right there in the DSM-5); but apparently medical fact these days is highly offensive, apparently, and grounds for being censored in case anyone is offended by factual reality.

Wondering if I post on the Health board about my asthma being a medical condition I’ll get deleted for highly offensive factmongering.

Don’t fact shame me, I can’t help it! I just can’t help those facts, baby!

I always assumed it was Oscar Wilde.

OED : Bxxxy "An imaginary person used as a fictitious excuse for visiting a place or avoiding obligations (see [eg] O. Wilde Importance of being Earnest i. 14). Hence used allusively in various formations."

But I may be wrong ...

I think you are right sow

Now i am confused. I had always thought that mention of the place where little cakes are placed beneath the soil in a thread was not necessarily about T hunting, more a helpful reminder to posters that it is not always sensible to engage. I would have thought MNHQ would welcome such sage advice.

You’d think ben

but apparently not

screenshot warnings are not in favour

Yeah, I got a week's ban for using the c word.

Really, why ever not? Seems like a very sensible thing to highlight that single posts can be screen shot, stuck on twitter and taken totally out of context. People will forget/not be aware. I see it as the same as the Daily Mail warnings.

I suppose cos saying that implies that the poster is not posting in good faith and thats not in the spirit of mumsnet

i think we should just run round yelling ITS A TRAP

still be deleted bit it’ll be a lot more dramatic

I hadn't realised it was a place, I thought it was an ineffable state of mind.

Actually, knowing FWR probably 'effable' is more accurate.
