have we been invaded?

[UnChartered]

advance search is throwing up a lot of dubious posters with very little posting history

[HelenMumsnet]

Thanks Unchartered. Do report any/all of those posters to us.

[ThreeBeeOneGee]

I noticed it too. Have already reported one.

[UnChartered]

i have done, but am struggling to keep up

[SPsCliffingAllOverMN]

I haven't noticed this but will keep a look out

[Tee2072]

Are you sure it isn't name changes?

[TantrumsAndBalloons]

Ive reported as well. Its getting a bit silly

[UnChartered]

Tee they could be, but i hope not. some of the posts are really sick

[ThreeBeeOneGee]

Tee2072: unless the name-changes have been accompanied by personality transplants or hand-toupees, I doubt it.

[StealthOfficialCrispTester]

Spotted two that I can see. One very nasty and one just strange

[Tee2072]

I haven't seen them, but I do think sometimes we are quick to jump on the 'it's a troll/invasion' bandwagon without considering name changes. Which is a bit odd since people name change all the time!

[StealthOfficialCrispTester]

But these peooe are trolling. Regs or not their posts are trollery

[ThreeBeeOneGee]

I only reported the one I was most concerned about; perhaps it's a trust issue...

[UnChartered]

i've a few NNs myself, so completely get what you mean Tee and i rarely shout 'troll' on the boards

these ones today though were particularly unpleasant, and wanted to draw HQs attention quickly

[Tee2072]

Gotcha UnChartered.

[KateSMumsnet]

HUGE thanks for all the reports - we think we've dealt with the situation now, but please do report anything we've missed.

[ThreeBeeOneGee]

Did no one see what I did there?

Perhaps I should have put the 13th and 14th words of my last comment in bold.

[StealthOfficialCrispTester]

I did :)
