Surely it was genuine???

Like the halloween icons Halloween Grin could we have an icon for UBD (underr bridge dwellers) too as i gather we are not allowed to use the 'T' word!

AnyFucker · 21/10/2014 13:48

the subject matter is often of the bun fight inducing kind...porn, sex dating sites, use of escorts etc

SpanielofDoom · 21/10/2014 13:48

We've just had one that I reported and it's very quickly been deleted which is good because it saves posters getting sucked in and wasting time when there are other, genuine posters, in need.

I feel for HQ having so much crap to sort through every day. I was a mod on a forum with much less traffic than MN and at times we'd get totally bogged down with troll invasions. Can't imagine the numbers here, but it does mean that some trolls are bound to go unnoticed, for quite a considerable time.

LilAnnieAmphetamine · 21/10/2014 13:51

And as the thread unfolds, the reason why a particular action cannot be taken counters every piece of advice.

wheresthebeach · 21/10/2014 14:08

I'm now very wary of anything involving hubby's and web sites. Sigh.

SpanielofDoom · 21/10/2014 14:13

me too wheres. Especially when it's a specific website that gets free mentions here at least once a week.

SpanielofDoom · 21/10/2014 14:17

oh and anything posted by a first time poster who is a repetitive goady fucker. Halloween Grin

wheresthebeach · 21/10/2014 14:29

I did, for the first time this morning, do an advanced search on the now disappeared thread. OP had the one post which, along with the website spaniel alluded to kinda made it obvious.

I do wonder if it's the same person as the threads are very similar.

PacificDogwood · 21/10/2014 17:11

It took me years on this forum to advance search posters with a dodgy sounding OP and it is quite surprising how many time it turns out to be a first-time poster - which does not mean they are a troll but it does prompt me to post more cautiously (or not at all).

I have also, sadly, become a lot more report-trigger happy since a really horrible child bereavement troll almost a year ago Angry

ginslinger · 21/10/2014 17:32

I remember that one Pacific - it was awful. I don't know how people keep finding the energy to make this stuff up. On the one hand they must be very damaged and need some sort of help but on the other hand They cause so much distress and/or impact on people with real needs who get ignored

firesidechat · 21/10/2014 19:53

I'm the same Pacific. I don't check everyone by any means, but if my trolldar is pinging then I have a quick look. Almost 100% of the time it's a new poster. I know it must happen, but I can't imagine launching in to a dramatic, emotional post without having previously posted about my favourite tv programme or how to boil an egg.

@wickedwitchofwaterloo

It's so terrible that all these fake threads are making everyone suspect anything and everything now, when there are people with genuine situations who need help Sad

Evening
Please don't speculate on threads.
PLEASE report anything you are concerned about to MNHQ thanks

wickedwitchofwaterloo · 21/10/2014 22:51

Oops! My bad Blush

KlokkenVin · 21/10/2014 22:54

There is one in bloggers chat that is so obvious it's not in any danger of fooling anybody. They have sex (but not often) in the back of sports car.

His work is highly classified so he can disappear to Austria at a moment's notice.

I think it is all the 'have you got a book in you?' stuff. Most people have a bad book in them. Cecilia Ahern had a bad book or two in her. It shouldn't always be encouraged.

Squidstirfry · 21/10/2014 23:46

Whaa? Now iwashappy's explanation has been suspended she said it wad mostly true apart from 1-2 things...
Feel sad for that... What's going on.

NotTheKitchenAgainPlease · 22/10/2014 01:03

I can't keep up. If I'm not on here all the time I seem to miss everything.
What did iwas say pure nosiness

redviolin · 22/10/2014 02:00

Squidstirfry Where does it say that re: iwashappy?

Ellasmum16 · 22/10/2014 10:11

Tried to reply to the thread but seems it's closed. I'm not condoning the lying but I can understand why she lied, the pressure from mumsnetters can be a bit much! I would actually like to see her thread continue as she had some great support here, but I only posted a few times and can't speak for the people who invested a lot of time on her thread.

EEVEElution · 22/10/2014 10:14

Just re-read that, I don't mean that people were pressuring her, I think she herself felt under pressure to show that she being strong about it. IYSWIM. I won't say anymore, don't want this thread to be zapped too!

EEVEElution · 22/10/2014 10:15

Aaargh I've just outed my own name change too... Sigh :(

RandomFriend · 22/10/2014 10:24

It seems she let him come back home after a couple of nights at the brothers house but doesn't want to tell people here. I still don't understand why the new thread is suspended.

Guessing the password was indeed made up.

KlokkenVin · 22/10/2014 10:39

I just read her message. Even having read it I don't understand why it was 'investigated'. FGS. She was trying to make sense of things that didn't feel right. I'm getting a bit hacked off with the assumption on mn that posters owe each other the absolute truth. It would be just so f£!&^%*ing foolish to put your life story on mn for analysis and judgement with so many supercilious posters about (mn the worst I think) believing that it is a crime to change a few details. I name change ever 48 hours or so with very good reason.
