mn hq, can we have an explanation - jess - and maybe re other trolls in future?

[wannaBe]

I am aware that you can't divulge the means by which you determine whether or not a poster is genuine, predominantly because if you make that common knowledge then posters will know how to avoid being detected in the future.

but jess (long ongoing eleven weeks abortion threads) threads have now been deleted for being a troll, and I was wondering if, given it's the site users who usually report these things, we could perhaps have a bit more by way of explanation?

e.g. when sassysusan was banned, mn hq confirmed that she had previously posted as washwithcare, and users were able to identify.

There has been some speculation that jess was dizzymare, and I wondered whether this was the case?

Also, these threads have been ongoing for over a month now. How is it that it takes quite this long to determine that someone isn't actually all they seem?

stoopid blimmin poxy work

it all goes on in the day

I miss all the best stuff on here. All I get is the what's for supper threads

My sister was a prem baby, should mother have hired a watersking nanny?

oh yes, who could forget mozhe. The worst thing about her was that when she posted she was going waterskiing while the twins were in scbu loads of people said "good on you have a lovely time!"

More than likely - he thinks he is such the computer wizard.... when he is explaining stuff to me he says it like this.....Mother....stop....being....so...dim. I say stuff like 'which is the 'any' key!!! I think he also loves having parents who are the same age as most of his friends grandparents Oh the joys of being an older Mum!!!

I did wonder whether mozhe was created specifically to wind up Xenia -- she used to follow her around on threads agreeing furiously on all the issues around being a successful driven career-focused woman with a large family and the foolishness of young women who requested flexible or part-time working.

I remember the waterskier. I thought it was because it was MNs and it was posh on here . I just thought 'boy I am waaaay out of my depth here, these people are weird' but darent say anything because so many people thought it was all perfectly normal!

Since we're mentioning actual "trolls we have loved" what really happened with the Romany one(s)?

So can we have a mumsnet bridge hall of fame now

Omg, I'd c

Omg, I'd completely forgotten about mohze.

Mozhe must have been 2007/2008 when I was new round here.

She was planning to leave the baby (I think it was just one but it was ds5 or some such) in the incubator with his dad looking in on him every day whilst she took the family to the caribbean. Said she'd be a much better mother after some watersking.

Wow, didn't know mozhe was a troll, I remember 'her'.

I don't remember JudgeFlounce, it was either before my time or when I was too scared to leave the safety of the March 07 thread.

I do remember CVQ and Dizzymare. I am sure there was another fairly 'big' troll but I can't remember their name.

Its so sad that people need to troll about bereavement or abuse to get attention/kicks, it drAws attention away from people who really need it and make people sceptical and less inclined to help. Even the more amusing ones, like the poo troll do damage. There are people out there who genuinely do have some of the problems that 'Winnie' reports to have, but can you imagine the uproar if they started a thread about it? So a whole section of people who may need support could potentially not get it because some nut case trolls about picking poo nuggets out of his bum!
It's very sad.

MN bridge of fame

lovely bridge Saggy, just lovely.... how many trolls do you think we can fit under it?

ethanchristopher was fairly big too - in fact wasn't cvq sort of outed on the ethanchristopher outing thread? although lots of posters had had their suspicions about her for a long time..

And there was izzyRuby - the modelling one - the police were involved in that one.

I don't think the twins were ever in SCBU. The twins were older IIRC and it was baby #6 who was in SCBU.

I am sure someone went to meet CVQ. I remember sitting for hours reading a refreshing that thread.

Wasn't mohze supposed to be a practising psychologist?

I loved the water skiing thread.
It was bloody marvellous.

thing is, I wonder how many there are that we don't know about - that have never been outed. There must be some.

I did a job in RL that involved telephone counselling a few years ago and I couldn't believe when I started (so naive) that we got so many phone trolls with stories that were not true.

I remember spending five hours on one call with a man who had been abused by his aunt. I felt terribly terribly sad right up until he went "this isn't real you thick bitch!" and slammed the phone down.

It did get to the point when you knew from about a couple of sentences in which were likely to be true and which would be fake. I always treated them all as true though because it would have been worse to make someone in real need feel bad than anything else.

I now have a hall of fame of the most crazy and outlandish stories told by those trolls stored in my mind though.

Starlight - a practicing twat in need of a psychologist would have been closer to the truth......
