was just enjoying the thread about the lady who was too beautiful...and it was deleted because the OP wasn't genuine?

genuine 'what'??? Confused

she (or he) was genuinely a person...do we care if the problem is real or made up? there was no harm to the thread, except people being a bit 'orrible; but then people are more horrid on actual 'genuine' threads which are left standing...

and all them sharon threads....sharon got banned from the pub didnt she? (metaphorically speaking)

I think I know who the girl in the photo was, but ... the photos posted were not very clear so I could be wrong.

The sarah palin was has gone as well.

HQ are on the ball tonight.

Does that mean they haven't hit the gin yet, or that they are working hard because its free flowing?

But why is it acceptable to lie?? It isn't its just nasty.

It's ok to have a jokey thread but absolutely whak job to make up serious stuff and invite people to join in.

Disgusting and horrible.

Oh, and Helen.
As the Op was clearly a troll, does that mean you've been able to hide any access to the girl who's pictures were posted up?

Oh. Wendy?

how do MNHQ know they are lying though?

E.g. woman in Japan trying to escape violent husband OR women with 7 kids and 1 with cancer

...how can you tell this isn't true??? Confused

I believe, they can trace your ip address. So the poster in japan, they may have been able to tell they were not in japan or that the IP address was the same as a previous troll.

I think that's how they know 'i am so beautiful its damaging' OP was the same person they have previously banned.

The trolls tend to post when they think their threads will last without being reported. They know they will eventually.

On bounty it was friday night as bounty didn't do anything about posts that were report from friday 5pm til monday.

Same with woman with 7 kids.

That thread was harmful because somebody else's pictures were being used and commented on.

Imagine if the thread was started by an ex of that woman, an ex who knows she uses Mumsnet. We all turn up and start commenting, if the Troll gets their own way he/she points said person in our direction and that innocent woman gets to read all the nastiness that we inadvertently walked into (although I did not comment negatively )

So, yes, OP - it does matter.

BrianCoxIsAChristmasPud · 19/12/2012 18:14

Sorry, Op my last line sounds a bit confrontational

Really must pay attention to what I'm posting and not try and answer Eggheads questions at the same time Grin
