AIBU Trollhunting is ruining AIBU

I understand troll hunting if the OP is giving dangerous advice. However, increasingly every single poster is being grilled by troll hunters about every aspect of their post. It makes a thread hard to follow and really boring to read.

I don't understand why the troll hunters do it, there is an easy to use report button. I have read several threads in the last week where the OP was subjected to constant snide comments about the veracity of their post. I think if these troll hunters persist then people won't want to post at all.

Yes trolls have ruined mn. And daily fail for printing stories and comments!

ChristmasTablecloth · 30/01/2018 11:54

Rufus - your comments are profound, deeply intelligent and enormously thought-provoking. I look forward to your every appearance Grin. Now away to relieve yourself woman!

Oh thank god

I might have given my self cystitis

Twatty, I would have rather not have read through pages of forensic analysis on taking vs leaving your phone number when you move house. I sometimes think troll hunters imagine that they are Poirot.

Love that comment. I actually think some posters just like taking over the thread. It's quite funny sometimes. But it can be very hurtful, as people tend to post threads when they're in a very vulnerable place (if they're genuine).

Just report, MNHQ do respond reasonably quickly usually.

No one pissed on my chips until you posted Janey but hey ho

SumThucker · 30/01/2018 21:30

Not everyone's chips. I laughed Grin

CoteDAzur · 30/01/2018 21:31

Oh this is humorous, too.

You just don't get the joke, Janey Grin

No, Cote has a spreadsheet for all of us.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 30/01/2018 21:47

What's the point of it though? Is it supposed to be funny? Who actually cares how often somebody posts here? I don't see the 'joke', just what looks like a bit of ganging-up.

CoteDAzur · 30/01/2018 21:47

You see, Janey, people would take you seriously if you had the courage to not hide behind a namechange and let us know who you really are Smile

No ganging up, I'd laugh at anyone claiming they weren't on here much and then seeing those times. Makes it patently untrue.

CoteDAzur · 30/01/2018 21:51

Oh yeah, it's totally bullying to expose a lie Grin

RoseWhiteTips · 30/01/2018 21:51

CoteDAzur

That list of a person’s posts and times! Lol
What possessed you to do that? Do you have a real life?

RoseWhiteTips · 30/01/2018 21:52

There are cliques here. Same old.
Zzzzzzzzzz

Yep. They will definitely use the rather silly word “bantz”...

Trueheart1 · 30/01/2018 21:54

Cote, is it possible that you are a little over invested in proving people wrong?
