Deleted threads

[Anordinarymum]

I was reading a thread earlier about a woman who said her husband was shopping at Waitrose when in fact he was in a Holiday Inn. I can't find it anywhere now.
If a thread gets deleted is there somewhere I can look to see instead of wondering and asking ?

Check your browser history for the thread. Open it and you should get the deletion message or the thread if it is still up.

Thank you. It was deleted and I knew it was rubbish anyway but I was sort of intrigued. I'm annoyed with myself now but at least I did not join in with the advice :(

Message from MNHQ: Thanks for the reports about this thread. We've been having a dig behind the scenes and it turns out the OP's a previously banned poster so we'll be zapping this one shortly.

I'm not sure if I read that one but yeah it can be annoying when they suddenly disappear! Leaves you wondering.

Yeah it’s annoying if you’ve deleted your history and can’t find a thread again to get an idea why it’s gone.

I'm new to Mumsnet and forums in general, saw the deleted thread earlier but didn't spot it was fake (if that's why it was deleted). I'm just curious as to why it was obvious to others and MNHQ that it was posted by a troll? Was it just a bit dramatic?

With some of the trollish threads they seem to pick up on a subject they know will get pulses racing and then they do not return. This is not always the case. I have trouble sleeping so I'm on here late at night and that's when some of the really good bad ones appear. I am becoming good at spotting them (I think ) :)

Thank you! I'll have to get my eye in, as a newborn means I'm also on here a lot late at night. It's a whole new world, complete with trolls, troll hunters and sealions.

Now I just need to figure out how to change that username...

Hot button topics. Specially ones that (a) tug at the heart strings or (b) are deeply divisive. Drip feeding - just as the thread looks like it's about to die a new piece of information surfaces that ups the emotional ante. Implausibility and lack of internal consistency. Threads looking for wank fodder (which can be very unusual - and sometimes initially plausible: I fell for a thread by the poo troll recently, despite knowing of the poo troll's existence - I just didn't spot that one). Sudden appearance of socks after 99% of responders have said "YABU as fuck here." Then of course the obvious give-away - getting all of a muddle as to which name you posted the OP in and which you were using to reply to yourself .

Talking of socks, user12345, you name change by clicking on the my mumsnet button, then I think it's under settings. (Not that you're sock-puppetting, just that it's the same technical process.)

I do not know what a sealion is.. or Karen for that matter

The sealion cartoon.

Karen - misogynistic appropriation of a popular 1960s girls name, used to dismiss older women with opinions. (Just to add to the fun and games, misogynistic men on the internet have invented a whole spurious back story which alleges that it started as an anti-racist meme... but really, it's just common or garden misogyny with a side order of ageism).

Thank you CaraDuneRedux, that's given me food for thought. The poo troll is making my mind boggle.....
