Hello,

I just reported a thread started by 'Dittony' which had a title attacking another poster and provided a link to a blog post.

It looked like a few others had reported it too as they had posted on it.

However in A/C there is another thread with the same title, which when you click on it takes you to a page saying 'error: thread deleted at OP's request'.

The OP however would appear to be someone who posted on the first thread, but not the same person who started it.

So can anyone please clarify what happened here...assuming the second thread was not posted by the same person as the first, (which has now gone) under a namechange?

(really hope not!)

WTF IS GOING ON? Oops, sorry for caps. I've been out for a few hours.

that isn't what you meant, Gloria, is it? you really didn't think she was a troll?

arf

Ooh! Hang on! I started a thread that got trolled, and have now been suspected of being a troll. That means I'm now Royalty, right?

Why not ask HQ? Looks like a touch of troll hunting to me - you thinking you had caught someone out? Not nice

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 14/09/2011 17:13

I wouldn't like to say I'm not weird , but I'm not a weirdy troll person who gets so damn excited about stalking MN members.

Wouldn't it make more sense to contact site management for an answer? Okay, I'm still new here and don't know how stuff works. I also didn't see the thread in question, but this thread looks alot like a "call out" thread - which is strangely enough about reporting another thread which was a "call out" thread.

Confused

Well more importantly it looked as though Chickies here was the oP! Which is dreadful.

Yeah, i saw the 'thread deleted at posters' request'

but also had email from HQ about them deleting the thread

seems as if there's a glitch, surely MNHQ aren't giving the OP the dignity of a requested deletion?

Oh yikes. Well that's what freaked me out - I could only see the thread title on Active, and your name next to it. I thought it muct have been either a duplicate thread (God forbid you had posted such tripe!) or you'd been meaning to start a thread about it and got the title mixed up somehow...

sorry, I had to check. I can see what's happened now...looks like a technical error.

Glad you're not some weird closet anti feminist Grin

I wondered that. And my last post on the thread showed up as the only post on the deleted thread, iyswim. So from active convos it looked like I was the only poster, but when you clicked you got the message as you said. I also wondered at the 'OP requested deletion' thing.
