Genuine question - who reported the parents house money thread, and why?

[Hullygully]

Genuinely baffled. People who reported it, why did you?

It wasn't rude to anyone, it didn't get nasty, and it was quite a thought-provoking scenario.

[IceBeing]

It was I - I'm sparticus!

[Heels99]

Troll

[IceBeing]

who you calling a troll?

[Hullygully]

Spartacus, dear Ice.

So is that a thing now?

I keep seeing threads being deleted. Is it a thing that people think troll! Bingo! and try and get stuff deleted?

[sebsmummy1]

You did! You forgot due to your age

[sebsmummy1]

I bet it was Perez and his bloody rule book.

[Hullygully]

haha only too plausible...

However, is it a thing? Has it become embedded in the culture?

[Hullygully]

It hardly seems worth going on any thread. They all get zapped, even the most innocuous.

[Behooven]

Perhaps it was the 'grandads medal' troll again?

[windchime]

Did any part of the thread mention the McCanns? MNHQ always delete those threads in fear of being sued

[scousadelic]

I find this all a bit confusing.
If there is an interesting discussion going on, people are learning from each other and there is no nastiness (or not much anyway), does the OP really matter?
Trolls are only an issue to me when they are vindictive and unpleasant. That OP seemed a bit entitled and goady but it was an interesting thread so I don't care if it was posted from under a bridge somewhere and do wonder why anyone would bother reporting it

Rule book syndrome imo

[BOFster]

Do you mean this one?

[MorrisZapp]

If you read a thread that makes you think 'omg that's OUTRAGEOUS!!' Then I'd tread with extreme caution.

Lots of people know exactly what pisses MNers off, and write carefully constructed 'hot button' threads to get loads of reaction.

I find them quite obvious but my little note of caution gets lost in the horrified responses.

[whattodoowiththeleftoverturkey]

its still there

[Hullygully]

Yes boffy

and what scousadelic said.

[YesIDidMeanToBeSoRudeActually]

The nature and style of the OP's replies made it pretty clear they were just out for a wind up, I thought. Sad bastards about atm, that's for sure.

[mrsmootoo]

What was parents house money thread about?

[MagpieCursedTea]

That link says it's been deleted. What was it about?

[IceBeing]

hully eye fort thay didnt ave spelyng bak in them dais?

Also I didn't really report the thread...I thought it was quite interesting in fact.

[firesidechat]

Do MN delete a thread just because someone reported it? I have reported a couple of threads in the past that stayed around, so I suspect MN knew what they were doing.

[Hullygully]

I will never understand this mania for reporting...

No Ice, I know you didn't.

[partypigeon]

Was that the poster who was going to ask her parents to "unlock the value" of their house? I thought that was a lovely euphemism, I'm going to see if mine fancy unlocking the value of their car so we can get a new one

[Hullygully]

that made me larf party

[YouTheCat]

It's been like Troll Central round here this week.

Maybe the powers that be are getting trigger happy?

[ImperialBlether]

I used to unlock the value of my children's piggybanks. Should I be reported?
