To think that if a thread is pulled due to troll hunting

and MNHQ have evidence/reason to suspect that the poster is either a troll or not a troll, it would be nice if we could be told. or something! I'd certainly like to know if someone had taken me for a mug.

Just thinking aloud so feel free to ignore me but just because someone has posted for a while can they not post made up stories? that poster reminded me of someone else on here who was banned. Posted frequently and had the most terrible luck in life and posted every 5 minutes with more and more incredible stories.

So, to be a troll or a trollish person I guess you could be a regular iyswim. mmm food for thought for me Grin

kitchen islands are magnet for squalor. As are artisanal (zat a word even?) dishes of any kind. It is all their fault.

Maryzed suggested an automatic suspend posting thing if enough people reported a thread IIRC - to discourage the wankers who post hateful things late at night and the like. That has always seemed like an excellent plan to me.

BlackberryIce · 22/09/2012 23:21

Who was that dreams ?

TheOneAndOnlyMaryZed · 22/09/2012 23:22

Oh, yes Dreams, I suspect most trolls are regulars.

I could be wrong but I don't think I am

DreamsTurnToGoldDust · 22/09/2012 23:26

Well, Im still musing Blackberry, I guess I cant say her name but star and evening was in it.

DreamsTurnToGoldDust · 22/09/2012 23:28

You know, Ive been on here for over two years (have nc once) and some threads I just find so depressing, I know they are trolling, its the emotional ones that piss me of.

HelenMumsnet · 22/09/2012 23:28

@TheCalmingManatee

So, what would the reason behind suspending a thread be? what would happen/ would it disappear and then come back, or just be stuck there in our "threads i'm on" list taunting us?

The idea is that we could suspend a thread where the OP is suspected of trolling - or there was some other worry/concern - while we investigated.

That could mean the thread doesn't get deleted for just becoming a trollhunt (as can happen now) and the OP still has a chance to get the support/advice she was looking for.

BlackberryIce · 22/09/2012 23:29

Ha ha... You reckon? That is a poster I've not heard of in a ling king time. Not since the riots last year...

RagingDull · 22/09/2012 23:29

RagingDull · 22/09/2012 23:31

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 22/09/2012 23:33

This will have been said before but a good search thingy like the one on ukcampsites where you can specify which topic area you want to search might be good.

crazynanna · 22/09/2012 23:33

Listen to a bit of Janis Joplin Raging...always brings me back to earth Smile

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 22/09/2012 23:34

oh yes Raging - that is all clear now, is it wine time

DreamsTurnToGoldDust · 22/09/2012 23:35

Raging, I thought you were tops on that thread!

TheCalmingManatee · 22/09/2012 23:35

That sounds very reasonable, thanks Helen.

TheOneAndOnlyMaryZed · 22/09/2012 23:35

You can search by topic area, LetsFace.

TheOneAndOnlyMaryZed · 22/09/2012 23:36

Go to bed Raging Smile. You need some sleep (said in the nicest possible way).

RagingDull · 22/09/2012 23:39

i think my NC is a little too, er, raging? Grin

yes, sorry helen. and does sound fair. i think the important thing is that we all report suss threads, i did report, but, it annoyed me and i kept posting.

should have hidden the bloody thing instead of rising to it.

do i get lines?
