AIBU to think that the full moon is partly to blame for the high number of troll threads today?

Just that really. I'm becoming disillusioned by Mumsnet.

Samcro · 27/09/2015 22:31

the dog thread a troll?? really?\

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 27/09/2015 22:32

Until they get rid of the name change facility it will be a trolls paradise here.
Chance of that happening?
About zero

Patapouf · 27/09/2015 22:32

I always miss them

Is it terrible that I often find them as interesting/entertaining as genuine threads?

Patapouf · 27/09/2015 22:33

Dog thread? The collar one? I only ever spot the goady ones several posts in.

Samcro · 27/09/2015 22:35

ahh I assumed it was the dog being ill treated thread,

Patapouf · 27/09/2015 22:37

Oh! Has it gone poof?

Greengardenpixie · 27/09/2015 22:37

Really??? I just read some of it. Just the beginning. How do you know?

TPel · 27/09/2015 22:38

Its inevitable that a forum will attract trolls. I think that if someone is so sad they get their jollys posting made up shit, they should be pitied.

PunkrockerGirl · 27/09/2015 22:40

Yep, as long as you're allowed to change your name ad nauseam, it'll always be a trolls paradise.

Greengardenpixie · 27/09/2015 22:41

Well what is the point in the dog thread about the collar. Its not funny or sexy or outraggeous. What can anyone get out of it?

ilovesooty · 27/09/2015 22:46

No the dog being ill treated thread was deleted on bunfight grounds.
Trolls troll because they can and on here the name changing policy facilitates it.

Tutteredboast · 27/09/2015 22:47

Whaaaat? The title looked so boring, I didn't even bother to look.
Don't get it and am still pissed off over the competitive grieving one.

Samcro · 27/09/2015 22:47

the collar thread is still there, the other dog thread has gone cos it turned into a bunfight!!
i havn't looked at the collar one\but the other one was made up.
yet mn hq did not say troll.......there lies the problem

Patapouf · 27/09/2015 22:48

Oops, sorry all! I assumed it was that one because I hadn't seen another dog one. I hadn't even read that one though tbh, looked dull Blush

elephantoverthehill · 27/09/2015 22:49

Boo, every time I find a troll thread it goes pouf. I haven't come across one tonight.

Greengardenpixie · 27/09/2015 22:49

Whaaaat? The title looked so boring, I didn't even bother to look.

Ha ha ha....it did look so boring! I only looked cause someone said it was a troll posting. I dont get it

PrincessHairyMclary · 27/09/2015 22:52

There was one that just went Poof...the OP described in depth that her DH was raping her regularly....then said she was going to the other place and never turned up there. Which if she was a troll was a pretty disgusting topic to pick.

Patapouf · 27/09/2015 22:56

Shock that's beyond the bloody pale princess
MNers do have a tendency to get over invested in threads which is why we all feel so keenly pissed off when we find out we've been had on.

Greengardenpixie · 27/09/2015 22:56

Oh yeh, i was on that thread. Was that a troll? What a horrible thing to joke about. People need to get a life.

Mintyy · 27/09/2015 22:58

I've just scrolled through Active convos and reckon there are at least 5 troll threads on there just from the titles alone.

Utterly yawnsome.
