AIBU to be a bit fucking sick of troll threads

Another one goes poof. The "friend of boyfriend climbed into bed with me". Amongst many others.

Starting to wonder what is the point in posting anything supportive. To anybody.

OP posts:

Didn't see the 'dinosaur on a rockets' thread at all. Was it alluding to t-rexes?

ClippedPhoenix · 20/12/2012 23:38

I dont know really, maybe because i posted so many?

i think it was a kind way of them to make it go pooffff.

i sort of dug myself in a hole and it was becoming extremely wrong of me.

I agree, Isabella. Some good stuff got posted today about bailiffs, for example. You didn't have to have an opinion about the OPs to benefit from the advice.

I think AF was posting about the one i was on?

LineRunner · 20/12/2012 23:43

I'm baffled.

ClippedPhoenix · 20/12/2012 23:44

there was a thread where the op was with a bloke for a month and went to his house, his friend came into the room and tried it on with her.

LineRunner · 20/12/2012 23:45

I don't think you are responsible for a whole thread disappearing, Clipped. MNHQ would just delete your posts.

Have you had a note?

BrianCoxIsAChristmasPud · 20/12/2012 23:46

No, Dinosaur's thread must have been deleted for something other than trollery - she is a long term MNer. I've spoken to her on PM in the past and she is almost boringly normal (no offence Dinosaur! I mean that in the nicest way possible!) and she hasn't had any major dramas, other than having a shitty time of it.

LineRunner · 20/12/2012 23:46

I mean I'm baffled by the thread creations and deletions.

I won't let it spoil Armageddon or anything, though.

SoleSource · 20/12/2012 23:46

Dinosaursonanadventcalendar?

ClippedPhoenix · 20/12/2012 23:47

No, no note but I banged on about her not putting herself in that situation??? and i think there's a zero tollerance about not telling a woman that she's to blame. Not that i did this but i can see now that i probably implied this.

So a genuine poster has a thread taken over and ruined by non-genuine posters and so MNHQ pulls the plug, because the thread has no integrity any more?

Shame when the subjects of the threads are really bloody important.

Wouldn't be surprised if one or two of them pop up on this thread, tbh.

Salmotrutta · 20/12/2012 23:49

I felt very bad earlier when I joked round on a thread that I thought was a funny one.
I was flippant and insensitive. Turned out to be someone in trouble.

Blush

So now I am going to be ultra careful

ChristmasNamechangeBridezilla · 20/12/2012 23:50

Have also seen Dinosaurs around. No hairy hands (as far as I noticed anyway). Grin

Monty27 · 20/12/2012 23:51

Actually it makes you feel like getting off/taking a break, or whatever.

Makes you wonder if that's what the trolls want.

We just got to fuck them off the boards? Grin

ClippedPhoenix · 20/12/2012 23:51

Not sure what you mean by non-genuine here?

BrianCoxIsAChristmasPud · 20/12/2012 23:52

TSC I have known of Dinosaurs since late August (I noticed her because we are both in a similar position at the moment) and we got talking on PM.

Obviously, you can never truly know anybody online but I can't imagine she is a troll.

I did read her thread but then it went poof before I had a chance to catch up.

Salmotrutta · 20/12/2012 23:54

By the way TheSecond, nice to see you again!

LineRunner · 20/12/2012 23:54

Hi Salmo, didn't see that thread but I know what you mean. (And I'm sure you were diplomatic as ever.) It's a bit difficult at the moment, and it must be hard for new posters who want help.

Salmotrutta · 20/12/2012 23:57

Hi Line - afraid I was less than diplomatic. Not nasty but flippant.

By the way, been missing the drunk thread.

Hopefully be there tomoz!
