All night long every thread I’ve been on seems to be a troll. Serious threads turn into nonsensical chaos. Certain posters getting away with it time and time again without getting banned…

When will Mumsnet take a stand against it and finally do something? Unpaid night watch volunteers don’t seem to cut it!

Personally I sometimes find them funny but they are just sad & lonely & I assume without access to Netflix.

and there are definitely some posters who aren't trolls but just exist to be contrary, I don't get it!

Some people make threads very unpleasant. I think there should be a balance though as comments sometimes get deleted for no reason.

Amusement, boredom, drunk, any number of reasons!

Most of the trolls will be men who hate women, they don’t believe we should have rights or have a voice, it really winds them up that there is a place on the internet where women congregate & talk amongst themselves. I know of someone on another forum who bragged about moving another website forum to mumsnet for a while, called it a ‘board raid’ spoke of how enjoyable it was.

I definitely agree that for some, this is a factor.
One that I reported a few weeks back ended up spamming the boards with continuous TRA type posts, just cut and paste. They hate us talking about women's rights.

Because its easy.
Because any group of women is a target.
