I see we have been nannied again and a thread removed due to speculation
No wonder GN is so boring lately.

The moderation on this site has gone to pot.

Sodapop,
I'm only naughty some of the time, I'm not little, I'm not old (I'm middle aged, I think, in this day and age), dammit woman you got me on the 'grannie'! ?

Well, I'm assuming that because of this comment early in the thread:

(Being GC is not a polite term for transphobic)

MaizieD Sun 27-Jun-21 17:16:23

'Gender Critical' I assume, Lucca

Lucca Sun 27-Jun-21 17:12:46

GC???? Please ?

The Portuguese thread is obviously being left because GNHQ are:

a) In awe of the international linguistic abilities of GNetters and decided to leave it to see how clever they can be.

b) Realised that it's the one thread where no one has insulted/argued with anyone else and so are enjoying the peace and quiet.

c) Haven't taken their heads out of their books for long enough to notice the dozens of reports that it's a spam thread.

Lucca Sun 27-Jun-21 16:47:20

So how come the Portuguese thread is still there ????

Lucca Sun 27-Jun-21 16:44:49

Looks like I missed a lot of interesting and scandalous stuff! What or who is GC?

Alegrias1 Sun 27-Jun-21 15:42:27

I get quite offended that people think I'm so easily offended.

Puzzled Sun 27-Jun-21 15:07:37

No matter what you say, it will offend someone!
Especially if it is true

This most likely will!

Yes, I often do but dashed it off quickly as it was a short post.

aggie Tue 22-Jun-21 10:00:28

We can edit , go to preview, read and correct then post , not that I always remember to do this ?

Callistemon Tue 22-Jun-21 09:57:11

Goodness knows where apathy came from!
I thought I typed why

If only we had a minute or two to edit!

Who's GC?

Gemma Collins? grin

I thought this thread was about the dating bloke. That thread went poof quicker than the magic dragon

Callistemon Tue 22-Jun-21 09:56:14

welbeck I see that you already explained apathy, apologies.

Callistemon Tue 22-Jun-21 09:55:30

25Avalon if it was your thread, which I didn't see, it would probably be because it is sub judice and too much speculation on social media could prejudice the outcome of a trial.

Alegrias1 Tue 22-Jun-21 09:52:38

Who's GC?

MBHP1 Tue 22-Jun-21 09:50:58

I am a bit incapacitated at present and thought I would give GN another go.
Oh dear! GC has been silenced!
Think I will go see Mumsnet where tolerant people existed last time I looked.

Severnsider Fri 18-Jun-21 15:24:23

I had a thread removed for criticizing Stonewall.

I was obviously stonewalled!

Galaxy Fri 18-Jun-21 15:17:13

As a site GN is very troll heavy at the moment, some deletion might be a good thing.

Galaxy Fri 18-Jun-21 15:15:49

I didnt see the thread but if his speculation on an upcoming court case then of course they should delete if it would impact on a prosecution.

I once had a photo removed from Facebook of a cute little cat sitting under a Christmas tree, part of my yearly holiday advent Calendar I do each year to countdown to the 25th. The reason given for deletion - it might encourage suicide!

I believe it was the thread I started re Wayne Couzens, deleted for too much speculation! What is too much speculation? I see plenty of speculation everywhere on GN. If you deleted them all there wouldn’t be much left on here apart from games. So do we add to the rules “No Speculation “?

read The Contempt of Court Act 1981, with special regard to the strict liability rule.
this forum ie GN and anyone who posts on it, are just as subject to the law as anyone else.
GN cannot ignore the law.
nor should they allow any posters to do so.
