SP's thread was trolling?

I'm obviously incredibly relieved. But massively disturbed. How did that happen? Is SP ok?

Surprised the Police haven't been in touch to see who might be a suspect.
Rather than HQ who will have had it taken out of their hands, no need for the Police to keep them updated I guess.
Probably they will though.

I am surprised that they are not keeping you updated?

Excellent news.

Presumably having decided to record this an offence means that the police will be able to obtain the name and account information from the nasty piece of work's ISP.

Fab! Hopefully the troll scum responsible is suitably bricking it

Driveway · 03/03/2014 16:51

Glad they are pursuing this.

LineRunner · 03/03/2014 16:39

I think the Police ought to be rather interested in whether you know the person responsible.

I hope they take it seriously enough to try and identify who it was.

Good news.
Pleased that they're taking this sort of thing seriously. Hopefully it will be a warning to other trolls that MN act and report and that the www isn't so anonymous after all.

mistlethrush · 03/03/2014 15:30

I do hope that they decide to follow it up and at least caution the perpetrator.

pictish · 03/03/2014 14:36

GOOD!
Thanks for the update. I hope whoever it was gets in a whole heap of humiliating shit over it. It was a horrible thing to do.

ParsingFancy · 03/03/2014 14:33

Good. Hope this goes somewhere pour encourager les autres.

Sevensev · 03/03/2014 14:30

Crikey that offence is broad.

Sounds like just recording the offence though rather than identifying someone.

BoreOfWhabylon · 03/03/2014 14:26

Excellent news. Thanks for letting us know.

Hey everyone, just to update you - the police have come back to us and said that they've recorded this as an offence under the Telecommunications Act. The offence is:

Cause to be sent by public communication network a false message to cause annoyance / inconvenience / anxiety

They're now looking into the possibility of identifying the perpetrator - we'll let you know as and when we hear anything more.

Thanks

There are some cunts in the world, aren't there?

RustyParker · 28/02/2014 19:49

Glad the police are willing to look into this

BrokenBananaTantrum · 28/02/2014 19:22

Thanks for the update.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 27/02/2014 18:08
