Unwelcome visitors - and recent "unpopular" threads

Hello

We thought you should know that we've had a few "visitors" lately who have, collectively, been hellbent on stirring up bunfights on the boards.

They're not your average hairy trucker/bored schoolboy/silly perve but a group from another (now defunct, it seems) forum.

They were behind the Unpopular Opinions thread - and a fair few other threads that have kicked off recently.

We're on the case.

But we would appreciate your help with "Hoovering" up any visitors our Ban button may have missed.

So do report any suspicions using the Report link, and we promise to check 'em out - though it make take us a while

Many thanks, MNHQ

irrationally angry? Confused

I've asked a couple of questions where is that 'starting a fight'?
best perhaps you stay in your bunker if you think my posts equate to starting or even looking for a fight! Smile

I singled penny out because she was one of the people who singled nags posters out I presume that's ok?

very confused as to why you should get worked up over my posts Hmm

AbsDuCroissant · 10/02/2011 14:07

Sorry to hear it GOML

Man, how can people remember stuff from 8 years ago? I can't remember from 8 days ago, let alone 8 years.

penelopestitsdropped · 10/02/2011 14:11

I just did a search of my name and the words nags head.

the only thing that has come up is my C&P of your post. so no, i haven't been saying it is them.

I have given the information i just re posted.

there were posts that were seemingly innocent but deliberatly posed to cause arguments. things like "do you take people on face value" "who is your fave mumsnetter" "who cant' you stand" "unpopular opinions"

now they may have been totally innocent but when you are told these posters have "form" for starting similar threads just to cause trouble it does make you wonder.

Now when you then see that MNHQ have banned said posters, i think it is reasonable to assume you were right.

Thank you Libra. I genuinly can't see why 3emms feels so aggrieved. unless it was her pal that was banned.

penelopestitsdropped · 10/02/2011 14:13

Croissant - i think some people seemt o take things more personally.
I will argue debate with someone on a thread and might even get a bit riled. but by the next thread i have forgotten it all.

I respond to posts no posters if i can, that way i have no need to hold grudges and carry disputes across the boards.

i find it a little sad when people get so irrationally angry about something they read here it affects them in RL. or that they get so bitter about fellow posters they continue to badmouth them elsewhere

I just think they need other things to occupy them.

LibraPoppyGirl · 10/02/2011 14:17

3emms I'm not worked up, you are and you've done more than asked a couple of questions, you're coming across as though you are trying to start a fight, yes!

You're tone is quite aggressive and unnecessary, like I said, Chill out a bit.

As for the bunker, I've been back in there and it's lovely and cosy and we're having biscuits later with our Bunker Hostess with the Mostest, and she's going to get us pictures of fluffy bunny rabbits to calm us all down, so ner [poking out tongue emoticon]

I leave you to presume whatever you like away Wink

AbsDuCroissant · 10/02/2011 14:19

Agree penelope. It's why I left for a week (mostly) as I found I was getting so upset about stuff on here, and it was totally ridiculous. So I left the warm bosom of MN, though it seems to be sucking me back in.

3emmsandac · 10/02/2011 14:30

penelope you seem to be the one with the anger issue judging by this post...

Mutz You were a complete fucking bitch on that forum. You and your mates.

You took it over with your spite and clique; and got rid of everyone worth having. Everyone worth having went. Roddi, Sprouty, all the nice peeps:all over a bit of tit, a rich cunt that should have had more sense; it was a witch hunt.

It was you and all the other PC fuckwits that ruined that forum

........

what forum would that be? stop pretending you are getting info from a.n.other and own up that you really are seething about nags posters posting on here,they have caused no problems at all you are just looking for trouble where there isn't any Confused
if you think my posts sound angry you really need to get out more Shock
as I posted above I was just asking why you seem hellbent on blaming innocent posters with causing trouble on this board

tethersend · 10/02/2011 14:33

Right haven't been on for a while.

What've I missed?

Just kidding.

penelopestitsdropped · 10/02/2011 14:34

my name is penelopestitsdropped

the poster that posted that is penelopetitsdropped

she has now left and no longer using the name.

I appreciate your mistake but please, if you want to go searching posts at least make sure you are searching the right person.

Now i will repeat once more for you. I have banned no one. MNHQ have investigated certain posters and they have banned them.
I am hellbent on nothing.

now why not step away from the pc and go have a cup of tea or something. I can feel your blood pressure rising from here and there really is no need for it.

i have no idea what's going on.

i've never heard of most of you, but then i've only been here three years. old enough to remember moldies, not old enough to be running a speadsheet.

more to the point, who am i? where did i come from?

penelopestitsdropped · 10/02/2011 14:46

ive been here long enough to remember when most of the mouldies were newbies and i still dont knwo who half the people on here are.

3emmsandac · 10/02/2011 14:49

she has now left and no longer using the name.

hmmm ok

my blood pressure is fine,thanks for the concern though Grin

earlier on this thread the nags was mentioned by a penelopeperson as being where the trouble on this board was originating from apologies if that was not you but the other 'penelope' but you can see where the confusion came from so that penelope must have left the board overnightHmm

penelopestitsdropped · 10/02/2011 14:52

if you search the other penelope further you will find that both she and her Dh are having serious medical treatments and that yes, she left "overnight"

Try and make it into whatever you like, MNHQ will, im sure happily verify tha we are not the same person if you report one of my posts.

I can only find one reason for your rather ridiculously aggressive posts and that that is it was one of your cronies that got banned.

LibraPoppyGirl · 10/02/2011 14:57

[Mouth full emoticon] nothings changed in the last half hours or so then....no?

penelopestitsdropped come out of here honey and have some choccie in the bunker - ooooh I am talking to the 'right' *penelope' am I not? Hmm

3emmsandac · 10/02/2011 14:59

ridiculously aggresive?

where are any of my words aggresive dear me after some of the stuff I see posted on here I actually think I'm being quite laid back and calm in my posts in comparism Confused

anyway I'll take your advice and go have a word with mumsnet it seems some are a little touchy on here Smile

Oh while you're there 3emms let them know that it's your persistent niggling at penelope that is coming over as aggressive, not so much your actual words per se.

You really do need to relax a bit and have a cuppa or something [sickly sweet smile emoticon]

3emmsandac · 10/02/2011 15:03

mary,I arrived a couple of weeks ago no namechange,sorry yes I did miss your question
