Thanks for prompt ID and deletion of yet another of the ELCS&FF troll threads. It's a shame sometimes these threads are deleted when people have taken time to write thoughtful responses. Also because the threads are deleted so quickly then alot of posters may not realise there is an ELCS&FF troll so when it pops up again they get taken in.
So I was wondering about a locked thread option with a "this thread was found to be trolling so no more posts are being accepted but many thanks for the genuine posters who took time to respond". The thread could be moved to an "under the bridge" new section of mumsnet just so us genuine posters could not lose our replies and also keep abreast of trolling trends!
I appreciate in some cases the trolling is so heinous it has to go but maybe sometimes just a short blurb of troll name and a gist of trolling activity? I guess it might run the risk of turning into a 'mumsnet most wanted" or "troll hall of fame" but might it be worth a punt? Getting quite lost in trolls at min and wouldn't consider myself a troll hunter at all- I just hang out a lot on ELCS threads so spot a trend!
