I know I'm not aibu to say wake the fuck up mn

So many times I've seen people reply to first time posters apparently talking about their teenagers having sick, periods or even sometimes talking about issues with younger kids. Mumsnet make it too easy for people to get their sick jollies on here. I can't change mumsnet but I can say some of you are way too naive about the anonymity on mumsnet and unless you want to contribute to sickos getting their rocks off on your posts, sometimes about your own children start being a bit wiser please!

If you are replying to a thread with sicko potential please take a minute to do a quick search to make sure this is a regular poster or at least someone who has referred to name changing. It's your responsibility to help protect our kids, stop either trusting others like previous posters or mumsmey to do that

I agree.

We have not had the pants troll for a while now.

Absolutely. I reported a very obvious paedo troll just last night. Hopefully not too many posters shared details before it was taken down.

Surely a troll/perve could just say they've name changed?

That's why I never share any details about my child on here.

Can we have an icon for a troll? How about a ?

Herbert and piss troll are usually easy to spot.

I'm not sure what I should be looking for?

I was going to post the same, that's no indication of anything. Trolls are a price we pay for being able to name change at will.

Nor me!! Unless I am very naive

Usually something encouraging people to tell their own Piss/poo/period/sleeping in same bed as parent/embarrassing stories etc.

Pants troll always posts about, well pants. School girl skirts so small pats are on show, PE in bra and pants etc

Oh god. I do so despise a wank fodder pervert thread. And people post all sorts on there.

Is there a wank fodder emoji? technically, flagging up wank fodder isn’t troll hunting

(off topic: I still don't know how you name change. How do you do that?)

Or just don't respond to them?
@Brefugee go in to settings,top righthand side, enter your password and change it

Anyone remember the plimsoll troll? Every few weeks posting asking if "these shoes" (with attached picture of canvas plimsoll type things) were suitable as school shoes? So weird!

I'd certainly not post too many details about anything to do with my DC, or anything intimate, but at the same time sometimes people genuinely need advice on some potentially troll-worthy topics, so it's tricky.

You're right though, OP, we should a be careful what we write!

I’m always amazed at the details some posters share about their teenage daughters; unless they’re also fakes and it’s just a bunch of perverts talking to each other, all making shit up.

Perhaps an 🍆

I remember the bloody plimsoll troll!

There was another one a few years back but is just can’t remember what it was they kept posting about.

It just needs one poster to flag up that the particular type of thread keeps popping up and that helps.

There was a time when 🍆 [wank fodder emoji] threads would be derailed by “how to bake a cake” talk. That was the way to be obvious about a troll.

I reported an obvious pervert on Saturday. Email from MN to say they are looking into it. Nothing since. The post is locked but still visible. It's fucking disgusting and should be removed @mnhq

Is that an aubergine @Sexnotgender? Excellent random choice 🤣

Just start spamming the thread with single posts of 🍆 ? Until it reaches 1,000.

It doesn’t take long once other MNers join in!

Why can't we have the number of posts we've made next to our names even if we name changed? Even if it was just 100 or 200 etc then it would show if someone was actually a regular.

@MrsMinge

Yes it is 😂

I thought this the other day about the poster talking about their teenage daughter wanting to buy bondage underwear. Surprise surprise it was removed not long after
