Really slow to respond to troll reporting!

The M&S/Aiden/water/sea monster troll comes back every day. Most of us can spot them really easily. Today they've been back wanging on about bison and animal breeding.

It's so obvious it's the same person, yet their posts have stayed up for hours. If we can spot them, why does it take MNHQ so long to confirm that it's the troll and delete the threads? Do you not all talk to each other about reports that you're getting in, and/or your own suspicions?

I really don't understand why you feel the need to report threads and expect them to be deleted. It's like small children telling tales and expecting others to be told off.
So what if the poster rattles on about water being poisoned by the queen? Everyone knows it's nonsense and actually it's quite funny sometimes.

Who ever it is, they need help.

Are they the same troll as the Queen poisoning the water supply troll, or was that a different one?

It's like wack a mole today

Do NOT discuss moles on this thread! Bison and sea monsters only 🤣🤣

I'm fascinated by this troll. I'd love to know what went wrong in his life that lead to this behaviour.

It's also upsetting when a nasty thread stays up for ages (not just the sea monster bison troll)

Long delays before deletion also lead to more troll-hunting, which I know that you (MNHQ that is) don't like. It also results in the more naive (or those who don't see trolling as a problem) engaging with the OP, which encourages them further.

But they haven't @vodkaredbullgirl - that's my point. The reintroduction of bison thread was started early this afternoon.

Didn't really look at the time it started.

... and it's still up (along with some socking going on by the OP of the thread about the neighbour breeding animals, which now has been deleted)

I'd like to know how they are able to keep creating account after account?
Maybe there needs to be stricter rules on first posts or something?
It's every night now, so tedious.

You can tell it’s half term
