why do some people troll and how does mnhq weed them out ?

[mrsfuzzy]

a huge thread has been deleted today due to consensus at mnhq the poster had been previously banned, how does mn work out these things when a lot of us lovely peeps get pulled in ? why on earth do trolls do what they do and what do they get out of it, sorry being a bit naive i guess.

Do you think I can't see other posts or something? I'm reporting a couple of these comments.

If people didn't get flamed so horribly on here they wouldn't name change as often....

Blatant troll posts like a recent one on this thread wind me up.

If people used the correct topics it would be better. Somehow everything gets posted in AIBU which I consider a joke topic TBH and troll central.

If I had a school problem I would use the Education section, for advice.

Everybody posts in AIBU 'for traffic' then gets loads of dodgy/snarky/weird replies instead of a few decent helpful ones in the right topic.

Why aren't we allowed? I was thinking we could write Trip Trap if we suspect 😁 that'll just wind everyone up tho so I'm just not commenting when I think things get a bit too far fetched. I think shouting troll would at least give other posters a heads up so as to protect themselves/feelings?

Trollhunting is against talk guidelines and if it's reported will be deleted.. Some people think Trollhunting is worse than trolling- weirdly.

Although there's not much hunting required these days. More spotting. And reporting.

Just seen another one I commented on has been pulled because of a PBP. It was a bit far fetched but I still didn't think troll!

I'm wondering if another thread i commented on is a troll. I'm going to search for it

The only acceptable troll

So am a bit confused, is troll hunting when you say someone is a troll? So why can't we do that (out of interest, I have no idea how mums net works really!)

Really hope wedding dress one was real though!

If people didn't get flamed so horribly on here they wouldn't name change as often

If people need to name change to post goady bollocks so that they can go back to their normal user name afterwards I'd question their motivation in posting.

MyMurphy it isn't allowed because very occasionally it isn't a troll and once someone says something like 'are you sure this happened OP?' then everyone else starts to doubt and the thread descends into chaos. Plus there's a risk of upsetting a poster who definitely isn't a troll and does have some sort of unbelievable scenario going on.

Trollhunting can be anything from 'i don't believe a word of it OP you have made this up' to 'OP I believe you are a big fat troll' etc

I don't mean goady bollocks - I mean when you get jumped on.

That's the only time I name change.

Some people are proud of never having name changed. Others are more pragmatic.

I get accused of being a troll and I am genuinely not one. I get annoyed when people say my posting style is odd, when they know I have ASD, because I do come across as odd and cannot help that. However I am 100% genuine.

Some people have never had any need to namechange.

I know SB, but it takes no imagination to understand why people do, does it? :)

Quite Navy

I have never namechanged, but I would if it was a particularly sensitive topic and it was very important my RL identity did not come out.

Or when people have trawled back through my threads and bought up stuff from other threads.

Actually I had a 3 month break from MN then.

That felt like I was being bullied a bit.
