I know it’s the last day of half term but seriously it’s like whack a mole with these troll threads

It was all night last night too. Started about 10pm and carried on till about 2am. Dreadful

TheChippendenSpook · 05/06/2022 18:06

It's ridiculous. Its like a virus of trolls has swept over the place.

GreenCard · 05/06/2022 18:06

Same person I guess that was on around 1-2am last night.

BattenburgDonkey · 05/06/2022 18:06

I’m assuming it’s mostly the same poster creating different accounts. Shame they can’t just block the whole IP address.

ShaneTwane · 05/06/2022 18:06

It's fucking weird. Have reported about 5 in the last two hours. What's the point in it?

JohannSebastianBach · 05/06/2022 18:06

I wonder what the collective noun for trolls is

Soubriquet · 05/06/2022 18:07

Must be an alarm set over on reddit
or something similar

i don’t get the appeal really. What’s so fun about starting stupid little threads that you know is going to be deleted pretty rapidly?

They're back at school soon. Thank Christ

vodkaredbullgirl · 05/06/2022 18:08

The same twat as last night.

Notanotherwindow · 05/06/2022 18:08

Trollop of trolls has a nice ring to it.

Noorandapples · 05/06/2022 18:09

Bored teenagers maybe, but they don't realise they could be triggering intrusive thoughts in women with Pnd. Really awful content.

Soubriquet · 05/06/2022 18:09

When anyone says troll do you just imagine the old troll dolls with the massive pink hair? Grin

I quite enjoy a good troll. I'm a bit disappointed it happened on a work night.

That’s true and whilst it’s hard, its really best not to let it get to you.

They get off on your reaction.

I think of them sitting under a bridge

ghoulie · 05/06/2022 18:10

The 'tol' troll last night started repeated threads of the same thing and this one is doing the same so I assume same person.

Who's kid is it? Own up Grin

Lonelycrab · 05/06/2022 18:11

Those last ones just now were grim🙁

Soubriquet · 05/06/2022 18:12

Not mine! Unless their interactive watch suddenly allowed them access to the internet.

ofwarren · 05/06/2022 18:12

Why would you go out of your way to make account after account? I really couldn't be arsed.
Far too much time on his hands.

MarshaBradyo · 05/06/2022 18:12

I just saw a particularly gross one

not good

Featuredcreature · 05/06/2022 18:12

I had loads of those 😅. Judging by at least one of the usernames they are mid to late teens, probably think we are hateful bigots blah blah blah, no idea what they think they will achieve.
