Why would an entire thread be deleted for troll hunting?

Can't be faffed to email.

Genuinely curious as to why you'd choose to delete fort hat reason if it was a genuine thread?

Not terribly fair on an op and feeds this ridiculous fear of being seen to be a troll on here, or a troll hunter. Which results in providing a merry little playground for genuine trolls.

TIA Thanks MNHQ

Oh and it's NOT a Fred about a Fred it's a Fred about a deletion message so no turning up with the hump please just because your on the Sunday night shift Wink

Tweasels, hence the deletion messages should go. I don't think that's being Po at all.

Sorry to be a complete PO faced boring destroyer of all things fun...

But

the "place marking to see the deletion message" posts are starting to really piss me off.

That should be deemed as worse than troll hunting.

Should have been deleted because 'The troll hunters were right'

Right, so a troll thread gets deleted for troll hunting? How come the SheffieldGuy thread didn't get deleted for troll hunting then?

Just seen it usual. She's like a returning genital itch isn't she!

usualsuspect33 · 23/02/2014 23:35

Anyway she's back trolling.

Delete the thread for trolling this time?

Tweasels · 23/02/2014 23:30

It's all took an interesting turn hasn't it?

Nice pic, Honey! Grin

I think I know the thread you are talking about and I thought it was a troll. I didn't post or watch so didn't get the deletion message.

if we are talking about the same thread (we might not be) then I'm pretty sure it wasn't a genuine thread.

Usual hints - first time poster, couple of posts on other threads in quick succession and then an inflammatory thread of their own.

So the op was genuine then? Might want to add that to the message too.

I really think you need to rejig your guidelines. I hate to say it but Nethuns are a lot more straightforward.

Or quit with the deletion messages maybe?

But if its a troll thread shouldn't it be deleted for trolling Confused

Is troll hunting worse than trolling?

Hello OP, no hump here - troll hunting is against our talk guidelines and when a thread is over run with troll hunting, to the extent that it inhibits the actual discussion, we'll delete.
