Poster who's DD16 has eloped?

[hashbrownsandwich]

Shameless I know but I can't find the thread and I've really been wondering what the update is. Can anyone link me please?

It was a troll.

I posted on that and didn't even see a deletion message, it just disappeared. Maybe it eloped?

@MNHQ

It would be really helpful if the thread title stayed put when a thread is deleted so that you know which one it was 🍹

It was the most obvious troll in the whole of trollsville.

thread deleted
Message from MNHQ: Thanks for the reports. This thread was started by a returning troll so we've taken it down now.

This was the message, its on my watch list

It was fairly obviously a load of bollocks .

I was wondering about this. I could tell it was a load of baloney but it was amusing

They were an obvious troll and PBP.

I would like to remind everyone that there is a well-known mumsnet troll who posts about 16yo girls misbehaving. It’s a gross perversion, but too many posters fall over themselves to share stories of their own teens’ misdemeanours without stopping to consider they’re fuelling some pervert’s wank bank.

Is it the same ones who is now asking how to punish their 16yo DD for lying? A couple of people have flagged it up on that thread. How do you spot it? I'm rubbish at recognising trolls, I thought the eloping one was legit.

It was such an obvious troll.

Don't fall for them and don't get invested in threads.

@babbaloushka not sure - that one seemed genuine to me at first but I haven’t checked back recently. Could very easily have gone the other way.

Usually they start sounding fairly normal and then get weird. Any time they ask for others to share experiences it’s a mega red flag.

There was a thread earlier this week whose OP as a full time student and her husband wanted to se her student finance to pay his debts and child maintenance - what happened to that ? Was it deleted?

This is the 5th post I have actively following that has been deleted due to the OP being a troll. People must be really bored during this lockdown...

actively been following**

What do people get out of doing this, I do wonder, too weird for myself to understand.

What is with these bloody trolls.. I get so emotionally invested in these threads!

I love an occasional troll thread, they're so interesting 🤣

Wasn't it a blatant rip off the storyline in classic Corrine which is showing at the moment, when Leanne battersby and Nick Tilsly?

This is why trolls love mumsnet, there's a never ending pool of posters that believe absolutely everything they read. None of it was plausible and most of it was impossible given the covid restrictions.

How can (some of) you tell it’s a troll?
I read the elopement one and believed it (partly because when she was 16 my daughter left a web search about getting married at 16 open on the shared PC - so it brought back memories! She didn’t get married-then).

@Boomchicka yes I must admit I did wonder about Covid restrictions.

But I also think I am quite gullible!

From the get go several posters poked holes in the story...

I agree, it’s like sex threads in Char or AIBU where it’s obvious wank fodder but women fall over themselves to overshare.

Same with period threads “hi I’m a new poster but I’d like to talk periods”.

I don’t think you can elope to Gretna to Marry with no licence anyway now.

That one has gone 'poooof' too. And that was also a PBP.

Ah I suspected as much! I read it really early in the morning when I couldn't sleep and I was questioning whether i had remembered it or whether I was actually dreaming?
Thanks for the heads up all!
