To wish there was a troll section?

[littlemisssunny]

So MNHQ can move all the threads to there and we can mock and throw tomatoes?

I always miss the juicy threads, not fair

It could be called 'Under the bridge'.

YANBU.

There is , it's called AIBU.

If you spent enough time on here you wouldn't miss the juicy threads! It's all that "real life" stuff, distracting you...

I get distracted by real life stuff honest, like cleaning and ironing I don't spend hours on candy crush nooooo

:o

Good point, Ullena. You need to put the effort in and spend enough time here, none of this half-arsed RL stuff.

Cleaning and ironing? Are you a troll?

My DH does something that he calls ironing...have never really paid it much attention, tbh. Should I investigate, or would it merely distract me from Mumsnetting?

If he wants some more I have a full basket upstairs!

I'd leave him to it, ironing is bad for your health :o

He appeared to think I would damage the clothes...where did he get such an idea?

I wish there was a pretend threads section so people could create all the silly threads they want but know everyone is in on the joke.

My DH doesn't let me do the ironing! Apparently I'm crap at it. I don't care; bloody hate ironing.

Ooh yes Binks that would be good too! I sometimes read something and thinks its a joke but daren't reply just in case, at least then I would know!

Well it might be a good idea so that we can still follow the threads that, perhaps wrongly, have been deemed trolls.

OK so maybe mumsnet towers have some cast iron way of determining this but, from the point of view of a humble poster, it does sometime seem a bit subjective.

E.g. there was a thread earlier this week (should I eat the pet rabbit) which was removed because it was deemed trollish. Personally I thought the OP was using slightly black humour but had a reasonable point and was not that controversial. However, several posters threw the toys out of the pram and it was decided this was a troll!

I am sure I have read much more inflamatory things on AIBU but it seems as though if enough people get noisily upset then it must have been a troll so get rid of it!

I realise it must be a hard decision to make but I think that there is a danger that enough people who disagree with the OP shout troll then they will bring the post down, even if it is not actually trolling.

From previous personal experience of forums I would have said the biggest threat to a forums integrity is sock puppets.

Some of the deleted troll threads were works of genius. Not by the trolls themselves, though. By us. Oh yes. We were magnificent
