How long until the bride realises it's about her? When are journalists going to research for their own, original news?!

And I think you should do something real about trolls Becca but that never seems to happen does it?

Sorry Becca!

Sorry Becca!

Grin No worries

NickiFury - do drop us a line at [email protected] if you'd like to discuss this off thread so we don't derail here. But we do feel that if you're unhappy with our troll catching tactics, it's best to let us know and not troll hunt genuine posters.

MN have made it clear THIS WAS NOT A TROLL

Umm. MNHQ can't actually do that. No-one can.

All MNHQ can do is confirm if a poster has a 'history' on MN, checking old nicknames against IP address(es) for eg.

They can't actually say that a person is NOT a troll, or (as it is being used in this case) NOT a liar.

Wedding Cheque OP may be a very nice person who made up a story to post on MN. Or she could be a very nice person who is telling the truth - thing is, unless a member of the HQ staff was at the wedding/saw the email/knows the OP or bride - they can't say a story is true.

(Not casting nasturtiums obviously Smile. I just don't want people being taken in by the next troll - of which there are many - thinking that MNHQ can actually make a difference here)

Thanks vardy. There's no malice behind what I am saying believe it or not. I just have seen people get really crapped on by trolls on here over and over again. It bugs me! And this one has gone viral and now we will get a ton more trolls in response.

Anyway, I won't say anymore on this thread.

I will do that Becca.

lifesalongsong · 12/05/2016 14:23

Obviously I have no way of knowing if the OP is telling the truth either but on another thread someone linked a Huffington Post article from some time ago which told the same story so outlandish as it may seem it's not unique.

MNHQ can't say that long term posters aren't also trolls Sad

I wonder if the OP changed a few details when she posted. If not then Shock Hmm Confused ...... I wonder what will happen when greedy bride finds out about the thread.

HisNameWasPrinceAndHeWasFunky · 12/05/2016 17:03

hopefully she will be suitably embarrassed.
And if she has sent the same begging letter to other guests she will be suitably mortified and outed.
