" HI Queen,

The most important thing i like your id : Queen of Fucking Everything. You can respond me on this id.... "

Hmm Hmm Hmm

LOL

that looks like someone has hijacked her account.

Unless she is normally like that. I don't reallly know her.

BitOfFun · 26/02/2011 17:41

This thread is going to make them feel a bit shit though, isn't it?

And I think that it is very poor form to reproduce a private message which is essentially harmless.

Why not take it up with the person involved? Or block them from PMing you if you are bothered.

wahjt Bof said

what is this thread for exactly? to embarass someone else and /or big yourself up?

BluePyjamas · 26/02/2011 17:43

The clue is in the name Private Message.

Poor form. Report it if you don't like it.

carminaburana · 26/02/2011 17:46

Agree with last two posters - how insensitive and rude of you to do this.
She's sent you a private harmless compliment, you should be grateful.

Pancakeflipper · 26/02/2011 17:47

Dear Rocks
If you ever feel like sending compliments to a non-revealer.
PM me. I am not worthy of them but I'll not tell.

piratecat · 26/02/2011 17:50

she/he wont think you are quite so special now.

what a shame.

QuincyMincemeat · 26/02/2011 17:52

that's not weird. it's quite nice. and you're a big meany.

Tortington · 26/02/2011 17:54

yep you[ve fucked up with this thread

IngridBergmann · 26/02/2011 18:00

I think you're missing the point, which is that it reads very much like hijacked emails or spam.

I'm sorry...I can see that under normal circumstances it would be a really nice message but I don't blame QOFE for being suspicious that it is NOT in fact Rockloves.

It's a very very strange syntax.
'On this mumsnet forum'?? Really?

carminaburana · 26/02/2011 18:00

Queenoffuckingeverything;

Might be a good idea to get this thread deleted before Rockloves sees it,
Just admit the compliment went to your head and you've cocked up.

End of,

IngridBergmann · 26/02/2011 18:01

I would suggest you report it to MNHQ, OP.

Only they can tell you what's going on.

IngridBergmann · 26/02/2011 18:04

Besides which Rockloves hasn't posted in at least a month. If ever...I thought it was a regular name but not so sure now.

It's possible she has left and her account has been somehow compromised, I guess.

BitOfFun · 26/02/2011 18:05

There is a rocklover who has posted today.

IngridBergmann · 26/02/2011 18:06

Okay search the username, and you'll see nothing comes up.

I'd reckon it's someone who has joined to PM people/one person/whatever.

Rocklover otoh has over 500 messages to her name.

Pancakeflipper · 26/02/2011 18:06

Oh - gremlins in the site?
Queen - best report it eh or turn into Ghostbusters?

Hullygully · 26/02/2011 18:07

I think it sounds odd as well

QueenOfFuckingEverything · 26/02/2011 19:24

Oh FFS no I am not trying to big myself up or embarrass anyone - its blatantly either a troll or a spammer and I was genuinely interested in knowing if they were spamming anyone else.

I am looking at it in the same light as the gazillion emails I get from Olga/Irina who have seen my profile and think I look a nice caring man who would like to send them $200000000 have a meaningful relationship with them alone.

Of course I checked their posting history and had they ever actually posted anything I wouldn't have dreamed of naming them. Fair enough if everyone thinks it was misjudged/tactless/rude as fuck though and I will ask for it to be deleted.

IngridBergmann · 26/02/2011 19:26

Okay well perhaps I shouldn't have bothered to stick up for you...but for what it's worth, some of us did.

thefirstMrsDeVere · 26/02/2011 19:31

I read it quickly and though 'bit mean of OP' but when I read it again it does read like a spam trying to get her to contact some odd site. Like those texts that invite you to look at special 'pictures' .

IngridBergmann · 26/02/2011 19:37

Well that's the thing about spam. It's designed to make you think it's genuine.

I couldn't believe it when I came back to the thread and saw so many people having a bash at the OP.

But I think it probably came across as being about a regular and it clearly isn't.

carminaburana · 26/02/2011 19:37

Rockloves isn't a real MN poster?

Ok - I'm very sorry Queenoffuckingeverything, I assumed she was a genuine person just sending you a quick compliment ( I'm sure it happens - even on here)

Apologies.

IngridBergmann · 26/02/2011 19:40

Carmina, you are very nice to apologise...

the thing is no one who regularly posts here would write in that style. Would I send a message like that? No. And I've sent and received complimentary PMs on here. They were not like this.

It sounds like a non English speaker or someone with a low mental age. Either of which it could, conceivably, be, if it isn't just pure and simple spamming.

carminaburana · 26/02/2011 19:56

Yes - having re-read the message I can see that now.

Sadly, having never received a private compliment I was replying in naivety.

Complimentless and clueless

Pancakeflipper · 26/02/2011 20:17

I was just jealous, bitter and twisted cos my PM box is a big empty gap. Sorry Queen.
