To think that the recent spate of troll posts and deliberately provocative posts are actually ruining mumsnet

[lucyellensmummyisnotmad]

I love AIBU, i love a good barney same as the next guy but really, i haven't a clue what is sodding real anymore. I love the fun trolls, especially if they are clever. But when it is about sensitive subjects or just insulting our intelligence - its getting a bit much and i wonder if MNHQ should be considering some sort of control?

why doesnt MN have a troll directory ?
List of the current trollers names or something.
then all the newbees (or me - bright as a blackout)can see who to avoid?
(Unless its a very very funny troll, of course the mean ones are not good).
....... actually , that wouldnt work would it? . some of the longest threads have been trolly ones.

Because one man's troll is another man's freedom fighter.....it's a matter of opinion isn't it

..obviously there are some out and out trolls who are borderline dangerous...but they are rare imo.

ahh i see < dr is still thick as a brick tbh>

dr, I have a directory, right here, in my little black book

I can share it with you for a very large fee....

OK ladies, is this the most obvious case of trolling ever? But no-one else seems suspicious

lol AnyFucker - i said i was thick , not rich !

I'll very rarely comment on who I think is trolling.....because most of the time I can't tell, plus I like to remain impartial....I'd just report any concerns I had to MNHQ rather than shout troll all over the place....

I generally don't care about trolling - I guess I'm just a bit worried about this one as if it isn't for real they are pretending to be someone who is.

Haven't looked at it....if you're not happy with what's beening posted, just leave the thread......and if you think there's something tres dodgy going on.....report it maybe...?

Well, I've just emailed the real bloke to make sure, so if he replies that it's really him, then the JudgeFlounce theory will collapse, I guess.

not been anywhere near that particular thread, tbh

don't think I'll bovver

Flipping heck you've just all been goatsied and nobody's said anything?

Nah, it's him alright. Trollar malfunction there.

bloody hell, BOF, that is kinda worse if he is real

his thread has had me sobbing with laughter.

I was cackling away at Northernlurkers 'I have the same bikes as the dutch royal family and a marvellous collection of the chalet school stories' and then I saw MrsBlackbeard's etchings and just roared.

This place is genius sometimes.

it is certainly surreal

and I am constantly astounded at the sheer wit displayed on here

I have learned soooooo much

b;loody hell, been off MN pretty much for 6 mths, and the same old troll-ness arguements are still going on.

trolls are never gonna be stopped, they love the attention too much!

Hello psycho! Good to see you back? How is life?

BoF, I have a thread going......have been very poorly, am just out of hospital after 10 hellishly long days.

that said, I have a very pretty newly extended and decorated house

Now how do i do strike out ??????????????????

are you still wandering around sue, all confused-like ??

put two hyphens either side of each word (the hyphen next to the = key

like this

word not just at the beginning and end of a sentence

confused I seriously am at the moment, but I prefer to say -god im fucking bored not working- interested.
If that didnt work i apoligise

oops didnt work

dog

sorry have to practice so i dont look like a prat

put the hyphens around each word
