Until the trolls are dealt with, I invite you to a mass ignore...

Of course they are like toddlers. How can they actually threaten anyone here as they don't know who you actually are.

Just ignore them. Start more threads about regular things. They'll soon get bored and go away.

Helen, the fact they're posting our comments left right and centre is scary.

The fact they'll post on any thread that so much as mentions the word "Father" is getting annoying.

And the hijack in Politics is still being left to stand. I reported a certain user as a potential troll for VERY obvious reasons this morning. He's still posting crap from F4J on the politics board.

I can understand you're all busy atm, but can we not find an alternative method of dealing with these posters for the time being? There are women here who feel at risk. :(

Perhaps at the bottom of all posts we have a disclaimer?

so where are these threads then?

I'm going to ignore them as well.
Hope they don't go asking on style and beauty for advice about Lycra bodysuits- there's no way that tethers will be able to resist.

The only place that seems safe at the moment is style and beauty. But I end up spending a fortune after reading those threads. If this invasion doesn't end soon I'll end up penniless!

I kind of agree doomcat. F4J are a group that have previously talked about stopping a member from firebombing someone and more recently about 'shooting' a mntter.

I am in no way saying that F4J would ever condone acts of violence but they are obviously going to attract people with extreme views and people who are prepared to take extreme actions.

Can anyone point me to a thread hijacked by "trolls"? I think the problem with this site is that no-one is allowed to call "troll", an absurd rule.

Although I've not commented on recent events, I've gone back to my lurking days and lurked my arse off!

It's difficult to know where is safe and where is not.

So I will continue to conduct myself in a reasonable manner.

And fall under the radar as usual :)

That's not a bad idea thisweek. Maybe we could fill them up with random song lyrics?

great Idea Broom.

Helen, they're not toddlers. And this may be a tantrum, but that doesn't mean it's not scary.

It'd be nice if we could all pretend these people were just like cross toddlers, but they are not: they are adults who are not above making threats to posters here, and who belong to an organization that goes in for exhibitionist personal intimidation.

That's not a bad idea thisweek. Maybe we could fill them up with random song lyrics?

Can't we just fill up the bastard troll threads really quick by posting random words.

Am for all the abuse that some posters are receiving at the moment though

[Feels stabby]

who are we ignoring as I have been ignoring the people with teh sexist name

Please can someone start some fun/interesting threads? I'm so bored of all the troll ones. I have a sleeping baby on my lap, I can't move. You can't all disappear someone needs to provide me with entertainment.

Just keep calm and carry on.

Although to be fair BOF has by far the nicest bottom of us all so is the best candidate for a full on flounce out the door complete with theatrical hip swayage.

Plus she has the advantage of actually been missed.

But I'd rather she stayed.

Well I've said my piece.

Oh yes - hugs all round for MNHQ.

Does anyone else think that Helen needs a patented unMNy-hug?

If they are abusing or intimidating posters -report it.

However, posting a view of women or mothers that I don't agree with is allowed even if it is objectionable from my point of view unless it is abusive towards me or intimidates me.
