Yup, this again.

I KNOW It's because it's the holidays, mostly, but fuckeroo it's a pile of toss here lately.

Between the wank trolls and the drama llamas, the wannabe novelists and the nasty goading returned bannees, it's Not As Much Fun as usual.

I'm reprting threads (which then get deleted, ah the validation) left right and centre and it's getting a bit boring now.

If you're being a troll, just up your game, eh? You're not clever, you're not even funny, you;re not even really annoying. Just dull and repetitive and obvious.

Either do it better or bore the fuck off.

Ta very much.

SoupDragon · 20/08/2013 18:52

[shrug] take a break then.

FancyPuffin · 20/08/2013 18:54

Totally agree Reality it's shitola at the moment.

Reality · 20/08/2013 18:54

What is this nreak of which you speak? I'm not sure such a thing is possible.

I'll be here less from next week anyway so was trying to make teh most of my last week of free and easy access to MN during the day. But alas, has mostly been boring trolly shit.

you must have alot of time on your hands just ignore and they will get bored

HeySoulSister · 20/08/2013 18:56

its not what it used to be that's for sure!

Sparklingbrook · 20/08/2013 18:56

There were no drip feeding sock puppet trolls on my most excellent 80s nostalgia thread or my John Taylor thread at the weekend. You need to search out fun, or make your own. Grin

But I do agree with the holiday malarkey. Tiresome.

OnTheNingNangNong · 20/08/2013 18:56

It is kind of dull as fuck. Only two weeks til schools back in....

Doingakatereddy · 20/08/2013 18:57

If you don't like it, do something different - play with the kids for example?

HeySoulSister · 20/08/2013 18:57

2 weeks til schools back.....3 weeks til college is back....5 weeks til uni is back....

Reality · 20/08/2013 18:57

I had to hide your John Taylor thread because too many young things were on it going 'who?'.

NOt really. I did see it and it was v entertaining. The good stuff is still there but it's getting lost among the try-hard tossy trolling.

Harrumph.

lol at 'play with the kids'....

Sparklingbrook · 20/08/2013 19:00

I have asked if he will do a webchat Reality, but there will have to be an age limit. Grin

I do like a 'talking cobblers' thread but they are few and far between ATM. Sad

ShellyBoobs · 20/08/2013 19:01

I'm reading a thread now which is giving me headache due to the extensive Hmm I'm experiencing.

No, I'm not going to say which one it is but I do agree with you, Reality, things aren't normal just now.

KellyHopter · 20/08/2013 19:03

Are you talking about my crispy cakes?
They really were that bad.

Sad
littlemisswise · 20/08/2013 19:05

There's so much shit Reality, I am surprised you can be bothered reporting, tbh!

HurricaneWyn · 20/08/2013 19:06

I haven't seen ScottishMummy around in ages. Does she have an actual RL?

I always imagined she was some kind of MNHQ robot who was sent out whenever people complain about things like this, or on the where are they now threads.

ShellyBoobs · 20/08/2013 19:11

Are you talking about my crispy cakes?

No! But I'm going to find your thread, now.

Grin
FrancescaBell · 20/08/2013 19:11

Agreed.

It's a pile of wank these days.

Play with the kids?

Does everyone assume that we've all got young children who want playing with?

If I see mine before 2p.m before they roll out of their pits I'm lucky.

I just dip in and out of MN these days. There are better forums out there now, plus to be honest I was only ever an occasional poster but posted more when OPs were more believable, didn't drip feed and people posted what they would actually say in real-life when presented with the same dilemma.

I think the genuine OPs are getting put off by the rogue minority (or majority on some threads) who seem to think a perfectly reasonable OP needs a kicking, or that the thread is actually about their lives and circumstances and not the OP's. Plus the people who just don't bother reading the bloody thread and fixate on a misunderstanding that gets repeated and perpetuated, so that the OP gives up on account of people who can't read.

Gah Hmm

Sparklingbrook · 20/08/2013 19:14

I think to lure scottishmummy out you have to start a 'Who is your favourite Mumsnetter' thread, she loves those threads. Grin

DS1 is 14, he doesn't want to play with me. Sad I had the Buckaroo all set up too.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 20/08/2013 19:14

You know what to do if you don't like it, off you fuck cuntychops.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 20/08/2013 19:16

Shock We haven't had a good "who is your favourite mumsnetter" in ages

Reality you should soooo start one of those!

FrancescaBell · 20/08/2013 19:17

.....or flouncing threads Sparkling. That seems to induce some Scottish ire, as I recall Wink

It's a long time since I saw the term 'discursive' written on here. That always seemed to be one of her favorites Grin

Reality · 20/08/2013 19:18

Play with my kids? Oh god no. The horror. You obviously haven't met them.

I've been so bored today that I've not only done housework but I've done a whole college course.

Hmm. perhaps this is a GOOD thing?
