Deletions due to being discussed elsewhere

Hi

I was wondering if this is going to be the case for all posts now? Can they be deleted just because they’re discussed elsewhere?

It’s a public forum of course all posts might be discussed elsewhere, that’s the risk you take when you post online.

Why doesn’t this happen when people’s threads end up on Facebook/twitter pages dedicated to slating MN users? Not to mention the scummy journos who lift entire threads on here but MNHQ are happy to keep them?

I thought you didn’t delete threads unless against guidelines etc? Is this going to be a new guideline? Must not be discussed on certain forums?

Huge plug in things? Shock

User843022 · 16/11/2017 22:11

Everytime someone goes on and on about 'doxing' I can't help thinking about those huge plug in things on love honey.

MaggieFS · 16/11/2017 21:54

I'm so confused. Don't know what doxing is and until I read otherwise, had thought Moldies was someone's user name.

MN Reddit trolls is being trolled to fuck from what I can see.

It is. And they've got themselves a nasty ghoul of troll, who's very prolific over there and has massively put me off posting.
I joined at the very start and it was a breath of fresh air. I think we need a MNtrollsTrolls group now though Grin

ReturnOfTheMackYesItIs · 16/11/2017 20:42

There's quite a few people being accused or suspected of being certain posters on Reddit who probably aren't.

I wouldn't worry. It's all run away with itself and gone from a sub with a genuine purpose I agreed with and liked to some kind of massive conspiracy theory.

Christinayangstwistedsista · 16/11/2017 20:07

Well, getting rat arsed with Pax and Battle didn't really help

Who is the main troll on Reddit?

Who was actually in Moldies?

Coconutspongexo · 16/11/2017 19:49

Farce Im aware and I think some other redditors are that you 100% did not threaten anyone with police etc.

The post on the other site has been blown up for a dramatic effect which has is ridiculous.

It’s ok they thought you were me Farce. I don’t think anyone can insult you more than calling you Honeydragon Grin

Now can some one please tell me

Why have I just read this entire thread and should I be able to understand it?

And

Please may I have a tin foil hat. Preferably a tin foil fascinater like what we wore when all this was fields.

FarseAboutAce · 16/11/2017 19:05

I've just read the end of a Reddit thread and realised I'm going to be accused of being a poster over there again. As well as being LaQ again - which is really fucking offensive by the way.

I also don't understand how supposedly sensible people who don't like trolls can't see that they are rapidly becoming what they say they hate.

Whoever said MNTrolls are being trolled to fuck has got it right.

MollyBear · 16/11/2017 18:57

Your meaning was perfectly clear, Farse.

It was only misconstrued by those who were desperate to troll hunt , and those wanting to create a drama. To what end, who knows.

I expect they are still all chuntering on, feverishly trying to make connections that simply don’t exist.

ReturnOfTheMackYesItIs · 16/11/2017 18:52

I understood your posts Farse. You were making a valid point.

But some people do love a drama and are a bit paranoid.

FarseAboutAce · 16/11/2017 18:48

Some people seem to be finding it difficult to understand my posts.

To be clear, I said I could Advance Search a poster, and I could find out things about her, and I could make a list of those things and post them on Reddit. Something that has been done, numerous times in the last few months, including yesterday. And which is, apparently, the mumsnetters' concerned own fault for putting too many details online. In fact said mumsnetters are told they should be grateful for this list making, as it will teach them a lesson on internet safety.

I could then make up a few extra lies (note I could again) and post them and swear they are true. This is also done frequently on Reddit. For some reason posters over there seem to be oblivious to this, possibly because they believe everything they read is true.

My exact words were "If I was a right bitch I could". As I am not a bitch, I wouldn't, and I haven't - though again I can't prove it. I have also not posted at all on Reddit, shared information about any poster, or emailed anyone. Is there proof of these emails, by the way, or is this something we are just meant to believe?

I hope that clears things up. Though I accept you don't have to believe me. I don't believe most of what I read on the internet these days.

As an aside I'm embarrassed to admit I had to google TWD.

ReturnOfTheMackYesItIs · 16/11/2017 18:48

I got bored. Zombie apocalypse, no-one is safe. You think they're an important character then suddenly a walker is chewing their throat out.

Again....

Tea is in the oven. Everyone else has fucked off to their bedrooms. And troll gate is the same.

Good. We can go back to sci-fi then.

It's very heartening to hear that TWD doesn't tail off.

Noimbrianfromhull · 16/11/2017 18:11

BattleAx - of course it's just bitching on the internet. I said 'peak troll' because of all the ridiculous hoo-ha about who is or may be a troll and all the frankly bizarre suggestions of who people might be and if people might know who people are here...and there... and in reality...and who has these accounts etc. I'd guess most of it is made up.

Everyone will survive and like brasty - I don't really think much is really happening at all and all the 'threats' and doxxing isn't happening at all and nothing will happen.

Weebo · 16/11/2017 17:38

Threats my arse. She's full of shite.

It gets more dramatic with every post.

All I see is a troll panicking because she thinks her audience is about to turn on her.

brasty · 16/11/2017 17:37

Meant to say above that I understand vulnerable posters here who who are getting slagged off elsewhere being upset. But unfortunately that has happened for years.

Noimbrianfromhull Is it bad to say I really don't care? Unless the doxxing threat is real?
I am just trying to put off making tea.

Aridane · 16/11/2017 17:35

BattleAx - re TWD, you still have seasons of awesomeness to go

Battleax · 16/11/2017 17:32

It's peak troll!

Calm down. It's just bitching on the internet. Again. I'm sure we'll all survive the night.

Noimbrianfromhull · 16/11/2017 17:27

It's mad Brasty!

Someone completely misquoted a MN thread on Reddit and made suggestions that couldn't be backed up - as happens on threads all over the internet.

That poster refused to delete the thread but apologised for getting bits wrong - but only in a way - while still infering that the MN poster had inferred something that MNetters didn't pick up on so saying they weren't completely wrong...and refused to back down or delete.

The MN poster had their threads deleted and MN did that while suggesting it was because of the Reddit thread.

Then this thread happened with a poster winding people up and suggesting they knew the poster of the other thread and might do something (while saying they wouldn't actually).

So now apparently there have been threats on this thread and the Reddit poster says they received a personal email threatening doxxing.

So now people think someone on this thread knows who an alleged troll is on Reddit and are wondering who that may be and offering suggestions while that poster here is also suggested to be a troll and people are suggesting who that might be.

And theories that the person here making 'veiled threats' (that I don't think are) and the person on Reddit who says they have received threats are one and the same person with multiple accounts across both sites.

It's peak troll!

Battleax · 16/11/2017 17:20

What's fascinating is it that it keeps happening.
