By My Diabolical Power - all threads I post on or create are DEAD! If there is a a long-winded thread - we will kill it dead!

Snags the tumbleweed and curses 'cause the thorns are fecking sharp.

The trick is to say something controversial about the Covid Vaccine, I’ve not killed one thread since I started in on those, although I suspect a number of people are probably trying to damage my Karma now.

KurtWilde · 23/05/2021 20:34

Temp yeah I think I've killed a few like that.

Also mentioning anything at all about unemployment, being unemployed and claiming benefits - that's also a good route to get it deleted.

@SamusIsAGirl

But I bet there's a robust discussion before deletion?! People love benefits threads!

I very nearly started a thread to ask this exact question! I killed about three threads this weekend

SamusIsAGirl · 23/05/2021 23:02

It started off OK but then went a bit shitposty and I tend to mirror the vibe - with the result I got deleted. Like people can't believe that someone with three degrees in STEM could ever be unemployed for any length of time - they sure can!

But I made a very sensible, science- based, positive comment on a covid thread, and although it didn't kill the thread ( or stop the idiot speculation) it was roundly ignored by everyone. Is being Thread Invisible a thing?
( Prize for the first person to write"who said that?" 😁)

KurtWilde · 24/05/2021 08:36

Fuzzy I've thought the same thing on a few threads. In fact I'm not even sure this post will be visible.

Maybe that's why I kill threads?? No one sees the last comment (mine) and therefore think the thread as died!!

SamusIsAGirl · 24/05/2021 10:14

Ohh yes I know about being invisible on threads. Until I'm not and MNHQ decide its howitzer time.

I'm rather special in that the sort of mistakes or infractions that other people get a warning for or a slap on the wrist, I get the anti-aircraft gun to the face. Seems like AS is a green flag for people to hate you.

I see you Kurt and you Samus. No cloaks of invisibility here. And no Big Bertha guns either!

KurtWilde · 24/05/2021 10:47

I see you too fuzzy! Yay we exist!

SamusIsAGirl · 24/05/2021 12:30

Having said that, a cloak of invisibilty is useful - only mine works when I don't want it to too many times in the past!

OP posts:
KurtWilde · 24/05/2021 12:50

Samus I find often my invisibility cloak only works when I'm right Grin

FuzzyPuffling · 24/05/2021 12:54

Apropos of nothing, I was once browsing a zombie thread and read what I thought was an erudite, sensible and extremely well-written post.

And then found out it was written by me when I had an earlier name.

SamusIsAGirl · 24/05/2021 13:31

I did that too - think it was a Classics thread about job interviews from hell.

Ha ha...we are obviously hidden geniuses. Genii? No, that requires a magic lamp...

Yes, I've done that too! I do give very good advice, if I say so myself!
StoneColdBitch · 24/05/2021 14:48

Just looked at Threads I'm On. I've killed 3 of the last 4 threads I've posted on 🤣

FuzzyPuffling · 24/05/2021 14:48

Delighted to be in the company of such splendid folk!

FuzzyPuffling · 24/05/2021 16:24

Dead dead dead dead, I have killed the thread! (for almost two hours and counting......)

pussycatlickinglollyices · 24/05/2021 16:54

@NatWestPigFamily

I have found my people! Anxiously waiting for someone to post after me now.
I have NatWest pigs.

Just saying...

StoneColdBitch · 24/05/2021 16:55

waves You're not getting off that easily, @FuzzyPuffling!

Am I allowed to say that this reminds me of The Game? ducks for cover

pussycatlickinglollyices · 24/05/2021 16:58

Stone

What's The Game?

Is it like Pointless or Eurovision as DH now insists on calling it ?

Tangledtresses · 24/05/2021 17:10

I wrote something stupid last week just to see if it got mentioned
And hey presto comment was deleted and I got told off 😂
So not entirely invisible!
I think there are a few prolific posters that actually know each other?
