Mumsnet Talk

...to tackle the trolls which appear once the gin bottle(s) is/are empty and MNHQ have staggered off to bed.

I warn you though...I am not cheap ..but may accept wine in lieu of payment...and promise not to engage with said trolls by trying to help them see the error of their ways....honest.

yes, several of us in furrin climes have offered too

Tech is overseas and can jump in when he feels like it

I too could kick in a few hours. You can pay me in chocolate, daily.

I am not overseas....just insomniac [brin]

Yes, we have been invaded by nutjobs

Is school out yet??

I just don't think that these newer versions of trolls are schoolchildren.
Daleington. How do you know that those of us volunteering are lesbians?

It's a shame they are acting like schoolchildren though. You'd think that gainfully employed folk might grasp they have something to lose by acting like losers.

Like wives, and girlfriends, let alone jobs.

Tis a shame. I am in forrin too, and have spent most of the last month bored to tears of an evening dodging ridiculous spam and a few loons who clearly have something of a god complex (until they get bored). It's nowhere near 2.40am here - how quaintly UK-centric!

I'm sadly not a lesbian. I think it might be quite fun, though. I suspect it would get in the way of the husband and kids.

Well, I am going out to try to hammer the message home that trees do not have hearts. There is something getting lost in my living versus dead topic ATM <despairs>

Oh good, they are are a pita

Dale fuck off. Posting on threads about children with cancer is really fucking low.

We NEED night moderators. This isn't fair to posters from overseas, and it is t fair on those people who need after hours help.

<coughs> Ahem <coughs>....I'll do it....for the right reward of course

I accept wine, chocolate and a regular mention in the weekly round up.

I think you need to increase night staffing levels, HQ.

I agree. Or the automatic thread lock after a certain number of Reports.

If you can make a Weetabix spin you can do that, I'm sure.

I'm in Oz, and according to DH I'm on here all the time , so if you are looking for night moderators count me in.

Justine at volunteer role! Very big society. Maybe you could apply to Iain Duncan Smith for one of those workfare people?

This has been going on for some time. Could you think a little faster?

I think they are probably all reeling with exhaustion from last night's shenanigans, HotCrossCatPuss.

How Long does it take to think about something so simple ? People have been asking about this for ages.

Given that Mumsnet is a great source of support for a lot of people surely nighttime is quite important that it not be clogged up with trolls and spammers? Anyone would think this was just some kind of money making venture which doesn't care about its posters....

Is the fact that people have been asking about this for a while perhaps connected to the recent increase in nighttime invasions?

Poor Tech.
