Deleted thread - OP had an uneasy feeling about DH?

Hi everyone
There was a thread about a DP who'd become secretive with his phone and was doing a work training thing and wore a suit and tie, and ran to get there 45 mins early ... the thread now has been deleted. Does anyone know what happened? I'm worried it was the OP's worst case scenario or things went really bad. Confused

Perhaps a troll? It did read as quite far fetched.

TempusEedjit · 30/10/2016 12:38

The OP was a PBP.

legotits · 30/10/2016 12:39

A previous troll it seems.

FishyWishies · 30/10/2016 12:41

It read like "Count the clues"

So bloody sick of this pathetic trolling now.

DailyMailPenisPieces · 30/10/2016 12:44

I mean it wasn't even an interesting thread ...

HolgerDanske · 30/10/2016 13:01

Yes it was blatantly obvious that it would be deleted at some point, to be fair.

There was one deleted earlier as the op was sock puppetting but I can't work out which one it was...it was open on my browser when I clicked on, but just showing the deletion message.

It was one about how she didn't have any gas or electric for a week and how was she going to feed her baby.

x2boys · 30/10/2016 13:13

no that one is still running Holger.

SoleBizzz · 30/10/2016 13:14

I believed the story. Oh well.

advancetogo · 30/10/2016 13:22

Totally agree with you daily. It really was quite a substandard effort. I must admit to not minding too much if the troll is brilliantly entertaining but this one was decidedly average.

HolgerDanske · 30/10/2016 13:28

Oh really? Ah well I'm not with it today Smile

Thisjustinno · 30/10/2016 13:31

I had a deletion message for sock-puppeting yesterday. It was the Mum saying she was annoyed with the DSs girlfriend for putting a post on FB about him being a drunken, nasty arsehole.

Could it have been that one?

ClashCityRocker · 30/10/2016 13:41

Ah yes, might well have been.

Seems to be a lot of dubious threads about lately.

laurenandsophie · 30/10/2016 19:05

Argh, she sucked me in big time, I was worried!

What does PBP stand for, and what's sock puppeting?

OP posts:
Waitingforgodot · 30/10/2016 19:18

Why? Why do people go to all that trouble making up banal shit? I just don't get it

MemyselfandI123 · 30/10/2016 20:54

How do mumsnet find out its a "troll", like how they know a post isn't genuine ? I believed that one, why oh why would people be arsed to write a big long message of bullshit ? How sad

I'm guessing PBP is previously banned poster (am I right?) But what's sock puppeting?

Hrafnkel · 30/10/2016 20:57

Sock puppeting is when you name change and post on your own thread, usually in support if things aren't going the op's way.

0phelia · 30/10/2016 21:01

PBP is previously banned poster sock puppeting is creating different names on one thread and replying to yourself.

0phelia · 30/10/2016 21:07

The relationship board is notorious for made up threads so I generally avoid it. (I'd say 50% are genuine)

Some of them are from creative writing courses and are actively encouraged to create realistic stories and characters on forums. Some are doing research by using pretend scenarios to gain info.
Others are simply so bored and living in a fantasy land it's just fun for them.
