So who were they then? Recently deleted troll thread.

There is a thread which has just been deleted where the OP admitted to being a troll and soon after the thread was zapped.

However the poster had a long back history of posts.
What I want to know, and I think it is important for us all to know, is whether this person had a long running posting history but got bored and then decided to 'come out' as a troll. Or if they had hacked into an existing account.
If they had built up this long posting history why did they bother?
If they hacked an account we need to know.

I think I read that one but can't for the life of me remember what it was about. or who started it

I really didn't think laffymeal was a troll, I recognized the name from other threads, where she posted normally. It was also a crappy 'troll' thread. Just dull really.

I missed the one about the armed robber.
That's good trolling, at least it's interesting.

Argh, I was following that thread, possibly even posted on it, but cant remember a thing about it.
Hints or a PM would be v welcome.

SagaNorensLeatherTrousers · 23/11/2015 22:39

That was the tatty books thread? Why troll about that? Confused

BiscuitMillionaire · 23/11/2015 22:38

I thought you were going to say the one about the armed robber DH beating up the DS for sending nude photos. (probably shouldn't mention it)

MaudGonneMad · 23/11/2015 22:38

Just tell us before MNHQ delete this

mineofuselessinformation · 23/11/2015 22:38

REALLY?
I read that thread earlier, and didn't notice anything odd.

PurpleDaisies · 23/11/2015 22:37

That doesn't help-the thread is gone, and the op's name can't be seen any more. Confused

BiscuitMillionaire · 23/11/2015 22:37

What a ridiculously banal thing to troll about Hmm

Was that the thread about the flu vax. I read it briefly but can't remember the OP!

MaudGonneMad · 23/11/2015 22:37

But if we didn't see the thread at the time, we don't know who the OP was...

NorksAreMessy · 23/11/2015 22:37

Plus, all her other posts are still there.
She said she was a troll, but I think that was just in exasperation.

I tell you, what with armed robbbers, co sleeping teaching assistants, Sparcarcass, A VERY goady flouncer and a major row about tatty books this place is majorly bonkers this evening

WicksEnd · 23/11/2015 22:37

Just say who it was!

PleaseGrin

Shakey15000 · 23/11/2015 22:36

Xpost, sorry

GilbertBlytheWouldGetIt · 23/11/2015 22:36

Missed the whole thing, who was the op?

I know that MNHQ aren't going to tell just me, but I think there is a case for all of us to know if this person has been hacked.

Which thread?

Here is the thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2514670-To-despair-of-this-logic?trending=1

I did the search too Norks after it went a bit odd.
This is why I just don't understand them being a troll.

Some trolls do build up posting histories and whole personas. I was on here years ago and there were a few regulars who turned out to be trolls. Annoyingly for me I was having a breakdown and off MN when it kicked off, came back and 🌪poof🌪 they were gone.
