Unwelcome visitors - and recent "unpopular" threads

771 replies

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

So for once the "mumsnet isn't what it used to be" mutterings were justifiedGrin.

Ohjustshootmenow · 09/02/2011 19:35

SO then...if it's not BMC... spill!!!

GypsyMoth · 09/02/2011 19:35

i remember when the parentcentre boards were closed (lots of 'fathers for justice' dads on there)

they popped up everywhere for a while....along with the well known trolls

then the AOL messagboards went too....

JeremyVile · 09/02/2011 19:36

I was on the second unpopular opinions thread mouthing off about the PTA.

I couldn't work out which comments were supposed to be so controversial.

The ADHD comments were a bit ignorant but aside from that, I don't understand what the fuss is about.

Anyone?

LawrieMarlow · 09/02/2011 19:37

I didn't look at those threads as I felt they would be likely to be not nice given the amount of posts. Am glad I didn't.

JeremyVile · 09/02/2011 19:38

No worries, well done anyway. I'ts all been v odd, good riddance.
