To find it really bloody annoying..

That Mumsnet at the moment seems to be troll post after troll post?

I just don't get it and sometimes they don't even seem like troll posts (which I suppose is the point) but five times this week I've commented offering well thought out advice (as well as other users) on quite serious issues only to go back to the thread for it to have the dreaded deletion message "this is a troll", "this is a banned user" etc and it's just feels a bit infuriating.

I love Mumsnet and find it a really supportive place and dare I say sometimes fun place to be but at the moment It just seems every other thread is being deleted as a troll post and I know mnhq can't really do more than they already are and they try and blast them asap but lt just seems to be everywhere atm.

Also going off track a little bit but I also think MN usernames should have banned trigger words as the other night a lot of posts were being commented on by usernames relating to SA and SA against children but that's another issue.

Is it just the case now of taking the risk of commenting and just hoping the poster is genuine?

I know this is a non issue really in the grand scheme of things but I just wanted have a collective MN moan because surely other users are finding it a bit annoying too?

I agree it's annoying, and it has put me off bothering to reply to a lot of posts as I've often gone back to look and it's been removed.
I see a lot of posts now that don't ring true, seem too far fetched or goady.
It's the nature of the internet though, it's openly accessed by all sorts and you have to take it all with a pinch of salt. I don't think it can be moderated anymore than it it is.

Just don’t get emotionally overinvested in threads. So many things on forums are just bollocks.
