I know, taat are bad but I need to know what went on there. I looked at around midday and all was fine, looked just now and it was gone.

What went wrong?

Can you give a hint which thread it was Alis? You've got me curious now!

There've been a few odd going on in Baby Names recently. Apparently there's a baby names troll on the loose Shock. Maybe it's been busy again?

A Baby names troll on the loose Grin

A baby name troll ,haGrin.

It was the poster who had had a baby girl today/yesterday but had lost her son at 6 months. Posted photos of the new baby and also "her" with her little boy who she said had died.

Deletion message said it was a troll but when I'd last looked everyone was merrily suggesting names so really curious as to what turned it. Or if I'm just a gullible dimwit who missed the obvious signs.

Yep I have no idea what went on Confused it was just names being suggested when I commented. Thing is if it was a troll, I don't really understand what they're gaining from it?

Sorry my Grin seems inappropriate now, I thought you meant someone was being twattish about names.

I never wander over to baby names.

DramaAlpaca · 06/01/2016 21:58

Oh I saw that one this morning. I didn't cotton on either.

Alisvolatpropiis · 06/01/2016 22:02

Oh right usual, I'd missed the triplets thread if it's the same one.

That is very odd behaviour. Makes me stop and think about sharing photos of my baby online though. The thought some weirdo troll might use her photo for some sort attention.

I'm so glad you asked the question OP, cos I was wondering the same.

Was it really the same person who posted the triplets thread?!?! 😳

DramaAlpaca · 06/01/2016 22:11

That is very weird. Quite creepy actually.

Grief trolls are amongst the worst. Callous attention seeking fuckers.

How creepy.

I read that thread this morning and thought it was odd to post so many identifying pics, but would never have occurred to me that it was a troll.

Weird.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 06/01/2016 22:25

I suspect it was the same poster who who posted the triplet thread and another thread under a different. All the same names featured in the new thread.

TheSpectreOfMorningtonCrescent · 06/01/2016 22:42

I learned very quickly that Babynames should have Here be Dragons over the door. It's scary.

Oh god that's horrid. Such an awful thing to troll about

Asskicker · 07/01/2016 06:43

Is it the same one who posts a seemingly normal thread, but always includes a miscarriage?

She/he just keeps coming back.
