To report my 'D'Sis for her online trolling?

I got on well with my DSis despite her overblown sense of self and pathological lying mainly because I would catch her out and not fall for it. She's a lot younger than the rest of the siblings and has been totally over indulged and has a massive superiority complex, forever trying to 'make it' through hare brained reality tv schemes or get rich quick things when she and her 'D'P are funded mostly by his über wealthy parents. She has found a partner who is universally unliked but DPs again indulge this. Even when they turn up to stay for days, pretty much unannounced. For example, three days after we moved into new house and in the near future bringing his family too!!!

I'm getting miffed because she keep posting things on social media like she's so bloody perfect eg having a pop at people who like. drink when she has been banned for drink driving. Or her current one is to body shame others when she has very disordered eating in the vain hope of being a model. It makes me so bloody angry!

I can't confront her directly because it causes such tension with DPs. So have to content myself with reporting her bloody posts!!

Thanks for clarifying strawb.

I almost feel sorry for your sister, you have a huge well of resentment and bitterness towards her. I wonder whether she picks up on this but ignores it in hope you will improve?

If you are prepared to report her for trolling, even though she clearly isn't doing anything such thing, if you are prepared to hurt her to that degree I think it might be better for you to quietly bail out of her life and get some professional counselling. You have so many issues with her, and your relationship you need to unpick all of this and see what is causing so much jealousy and resentment.

Only after that will you have any chance to actually have a proper relationship with your sister. She is far from perfect, but you are trying to take her down too. Poor thing.

You clearly don't understand trolling OP. Unfollow your sister's posts and get on with your life.

Erm... Confused

Being a bitch isn't "trolling".

Actual trolling isn't usually against most websites' terms.

Being a bitch isn't against most websites' terms.

You can report her - that is, the buttons are in place for it - but unless she is harassing, threatening, or using prohibited hate speech against you, many websites will (can?) not take any action.

If she is using hate speech, etc., the person it's directed to should report her, but it may help the site build a case if you report as well. But look into their terms and ensure you are seeing her break the rules before you go wasting customer service rep's time.

Otherwise, simply hide her posts and move on with your life. Or better yet! Call her out on it! Tell her when she's being a bitch and a hypocrite and treating people like shit. Point it out, and she'll have no defense. She may even stop!

Wow you REALLY dislike your sister don't you. Is it jealousy I wonder, not that you would admit it. I wonder what her posts would say if your sister was on here Hmm

This is gold!

This is making we wonder if you posted the whole thing for a reaction. Perhaps sis isn't the only attention seeker in the family?

BoysofMelody · 30/08/2017 17:31

Your thread says rather more about you than your sister, op and I agree she seems to be far from the only drama-obseesed attention seeker in the family.

Your post comes across as emotionally immature and spiteful and you want to get her 'done' by some authority figure as a way of exacting revenge. Behaviour most people grow bout of around 12 or so.
