Reported my first thread which was becoming more unbelievable, and was indeed a troll. Usually these things go over my head completely!

I know what you mean about hating the thought of people investing in the story. I know we're not supposed to post our suspicions on the thread itself but sometimes MNHQ take a very long time to investigate things and in the meantime a lot of people are being taken in.

feellikeahugefailure · 17/03/2016 16:33

can anyone link to the dead thread? I feel like i've missed out...

OurBlanche · 17/03/2016 16:35

Ye gods! I missed the wife!

But am still wondering about the 'I got legal aid against my bullying ex' one!

I had to report it as I could see how it might really upset/rile others. Now they are 'talking to the OP' it seems!

Bogeyface · 17/03/2016 16:40

I reported the motorbike one too. I was with her right up until the wife turned up. The wife of 6 months that had paid to marry him to get UK residence but just happened to be called to the hospital as his NOK ............ :o

SirChenjin · 17/03/2016 16:58

Agree Bogey. She would have got away with it I think if she had introduced the wife Grin

SirChenjin · 17/03/2016 16:58

Hadn't

You and me, Blanche

Thurlow · 17/03/2016 17:03

Seriously, how do you get a troll thread on Childbirth? Did she give birth in a car park or something?!

Lweji · 17/03/2016 17:07

Live updates?

I'm pushing now.
It's crowning.
Oh, look at the cord coming out of my trolly parts.

There was a thread the other night which involved a husband working abroad and a SAHM. By the time I got to the end he was abusive, there was some sort of email leak and he being accused of having a wife and kids abroad and meanwhile the SAHM was stuck with the interfering MIL from hell. It was surely a wind up that I almost reported. I put it on watch but its disappeared...

Ginslinger · 17/03/2016 17:15

You're all so mean. I 've just given birth while reading this thread - OMG - there's another one in there - i'm having twins Shock

iwuddarryl · 17/03/2016 17:15

Boyfriend in hospital after motorbike accident. Loads of people, including me, reported it.

that was a troll?
Was it the one where the girlfriend was upset because the mother and sister were being put first before her
Why would somebody want to start a thread like that? Who even has the time? Confused

Ginslinger · 17/03/2016 17:17

That one isstill there tinky the social obligation one

iwuddarryl · 17/03/2016 17:18

another one was zapped today.

Someone was trying to have a go at all the people who post in Relationships.

I suspected from the start it was either a OW or a man who had cheated could be wrong but there was something very bitter about the tone.
Troll or no troll, I'm glad that one's gone.

HooseRice · 17/03/2016 17:19

There's a person on a sensitive thread I'm following that I 99.9% think is trolling but I'd need to be 100% to report due to the nature of the topic.

Hoose you should report anyway. MNHQ will have more information than you have. I report even when I'm not sure.

TheFlyingFauxPas · 17/03/2016 17:22

I was too nice to post on the motorbike thread how op was all it's all about me me me when she didn't seem concerned about the bf. Blow. Missed the husband bit!

Thisismyfirsttime · 17/03/2016 17:38

Gowgirl · 17/03/2016 17:39

I doubt that thread will come back. Sometimes they do, but that one had troll written all over it.

luckySwallow13 · 17/03/2016 17:52

Is the childbirth thread too dark to share ?

pigeonpoo · 17/03/2016 18:45

I felt like that Hoose, guilty actually for even suspected the MNer of being a troll as its so sensetive and I keep trying to think up excuses for them to rationalise it out. Threads haven't been pulled yet and I haven't heads back from MNHQ but I have been told I'm not the only one suspicious which makes me feel a bit better for it so please report
