Not sure if I am allowed to ask this on here.....

I do think you cant expect every rule to be listed. I once worked at an organisation where a volunteer took all their clothes off whilst volunteering, we didnt have that specific issue in the volunteer guidance but we thought it was a given.

Sorry - I'm sure it was distressing, but ?.

I know what you mean, but this sort of thing crops up over and over. It's honestly not that I want to post slagging off posters (I have already said that 'post mortems' are often counter-productive, and that I find/found Alegrias' posts well-informed and interesting), but as Josieann says upthread, if we don't know from HQ what will be deleted and why, we end up being told by other people what is acceptable and what isn't, which is less than ideal.

It takes a special type of idiot to get naked at work surely

If she’s left I don’t blame her - the politics board is very intense & some people invested an awful lot of time arguing with complete strangers.
I hardly ever look at the politics threads anymore because they’re very repetitive ( same people saying the same things ) & just too argumentative - it got boring too.
Rather spend my time on here talking about nice things.

Hopefully she’s found better things to do.

Blimey.

Yes Male, I cant tell it all I am afraid. It was because he was an idiot. And probably an exhibitionist. I have made it sound funny (and it was in retrospect) but it was a bit stressful, for those in charge to say the least.

Was it a man?

(Can we do this like the ‘Yes/ No Game’ please Galaxy?
You won’t feel as bad then for telling us)

Why did they take all their clothes off?

Oh Galaxy ?
How dare you tell half a story like that!

I dont think that should say.

I think it’s just common courtesy not to criticise other posters behind their back. Do we really need rules and guidelines to tell us that?

Who are you calling a fool? Joke.

I agree she could have a sharp tongue and didn’t suffer fools but I saw her as a good egg.

Alegrias spoke with authority. She was extremely knowledgeable.

That's as maybe , however we are all entitled to our opinion and should not be shot down by anyone

So why allow random posters to make up forum rules that suit their narrative and tick others off then?

I don’t think that they look at the boards here at all

I don't think they look at anything unless it is reported

I agree, I doubt they can spend hours scouring all the threads as they moderate Mumsnet as well.
We used to have our own mods but I don't think that's the case any more.

Discussion of other posters isn’t allowed.
So the lemongrove stuff is fine, but not the Alegrias stuff.
I’m pretty certain that Alegrias would not like it at all that she was being discussed here.
She is a very private person

But how would anyone know?

If it's ok to discuss one missing poster then it's ok to discuss them all or it is not - if not then GNHQ should make that clear in the guidelines.

As a poster who was berated by Another for mentioning someone no longer posting and insinuating that it was against the rules, I now feel a bit confused miffed if that is not the case after all. Interestingly GNHQ did not remove my post so no one can have reported it anyway!
Storm in a tea cup. But life's too short to worry!
Although clarification might help.

I think Fanny is right we dont know if Alegrias would like it so we should probably respect that and do our own censorship

Agreed, as far as saying anything negative is concerned (not that I would want to - I prefer to say what I think face to face and keep it to the topic or thread concerned) but if we are expected to post according to rules, we should at least know what they are.

No blooming wonder, Fanny!!!
I was trying to keep my head down and still I being got at! ??????

Moi? I'm such a shrinking violet, how could anyone think that of little old me????? ?

It certainly wasn’t funny at the time
(And I hardly dare mention all the crud that’s been written about me)

Ha ha! I remember that Mary!
Sorry, I shouldn’t laugh, but I’ve never seen you so cross!

In the past, GNHQ have deleted posts about missing posters and said that those posters may have private reasons for not posting and they do not allow this.

Some time ago, I hadn't been posting, after a pile on and read a post, speculating that I had been banned! I was not amused!!!
