Are you ever going to do anything about trolls?

335 replies

Because it's really got fucking ridiculous.

You need to change your stance from "we have to prove it's trolling before we delete" to "we have to use common sense and realise this is ridiculous before we delete".

The site is becoming a parody of itself.

I'm getting to the stage that I no longer believe my own posts Confused

But it was so many threads in the space of ten minutes Milly

MillyMollyMully · 21/04/2014 02:30

It was only for a couple of hours in the early morning. Then the Night Watch got to it and zapped all the baddies.

fidelineish · 21/04/2014 02:27

No point in telling her sparklng, she doesn't know anyone. Though how she can know how many "gorndawgs" threads I start when she doesn't know me is baffling.

Hers posts are boringly repetitive, though. I think I will hide her, it will make these threads more readable.

slithy, nightwatch can manage immediate obvious trolls, it's harder for them to manage slow-burners. I think it needs a policy change for that.

Sparklingbrook · 21/04/2014 02:18

I think you were embroiled on the feminism thread sm, so you missed it all.

scottishmummy · 21/04/2014 02:18

What?who

Sparklingbrook · 21/04/2014 02:17

Night sm. It's Maryz BTW Wink

scottishmummy · 21/04/2014 02:17

Didn't notice.

slithytove · 21/04/2014 02:17

I do think there were a ridiculous amount of troll threads last night.

Night watch seem to be working ok so far though.

I wonder if mnhq could implement something where if a thread received a certain amount of reports it would be automatically hidden until it could be checked out.

scottishmummy · 21/04/2014 02:16

Op,you labour under belief that I know or care whom you are
Please Let me disavow you of that notion

scottishmummy · 21/04/2014 02:15

I'm certainly not expecting you to answer, you seem incapable of doing so.

I'm just wondering, since you obviously find me so irritating, why you always want to talk to me? It seems strange to me, particularly as the only thing you ever say is "gorntodawgs/froth/strange incomprehensible rant".

I live in hope that some day you will post on a thread with a positive suggestion, or comment, or even something nice, but I suspect that's never going to happen [sigh]

It hasn't gone to the dogs, last night (as it's now 2am why are we up?) there were so many dodgy threads and trolls it was madness. That is what Maryz is getting at.

scottishmummy · 21/04/2014 02:11

And conversely the whiny ohhh it's sooo bad have expressed their nessage

slithytove · 21/04/2014 02:10

I think we have got the message that if we think mn has gone to the dogs, we can leave. :)

sm, do you mind if I ask if you are a generic spam-bot? Because you seem to have a serious lack of vocabulary, and an inability to talk in sentences. It bothers me a lot, as does your apparent inability to read and understand what threads are about, because it's quite difficult to have a conversation with someone who has shown no understanding of any of the posts on this thread.

I don't recall mentioning anything about gorntodawgs, btw.
