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?

No need to hide lunatic. I agree with you.

everlong - she was, but in a previous guise as WashWithCare, who used to troll. There was never any proof that she had trolled as SassySusan, though i agree with others that she wasn't a very nice person.

What dee said

We had a troll on here once who several mumsnetters had met more than once (at a regular meetup) who got everyone here going with her story which was also in the national press.

It was all made up.

That's the thing though, isn't it: you can be a troll with some of the things you post and not others. I do believe SS had lost a child and totally agree that she was Angry, big time - but she also exploited some other posters and was not entirely thruthful.

Bugger. I've been away all weekend and now don't know what you're all talking about. If anyone feels like PMing me, I'd be ever so, ever so grateful

Ooh, bibbity. Now I want to know about that, too. And whoever the 'ramp it up' troll is. But you can keep the wanking one.

OMG 'jess' was a troll?

Lunatic I defended Sassy to the hilt when MN said she was a troll. I believe her little girl existed. Then she was outed as a troll on here, before her daughter sadly passed away. I got texts and calls from her screaming at me telling me she could read everything people were saying about her - she could contact me because stupidly I gave her my number. I was left confused and wondering what the truth was.

.........don't even get me started on Dizzy Mare

I saw a young woman breastfeeding on a bus recently. Then I heard an old lady shrieking "How dare you do that in public, you filthy beast!".

In retrospect it was neither the time nor place for a wank.

Viv I think you might be mixing two people up. Isnt there someone with a similar name? I think it caused a bit of for a while.

Trolls? The only trolls I've ever heard of live under bridges hangs forum newbie head in shame

That was not very clear - she was trolling on here quite a long time before she lost her DD - it was the earlier incidents that got her kicked off MN - NOT anything to do with her DD.

Vivienne....I really, really, really hope that is a joke about Dizzymare.....

Bof.

I dont really want to carry on with the SS thing too much but I really think that whole outing stuff had terrible timing.

It got the death of her beloved DD mixed up with a whole heap of shit that I know nothing about and its all been piled into one big lump of trollness.

I dont think she deserves that. I cant imagine how I would feel if a load of people were carrying on about how I had made up my DD and what happened to her. I think I would have gone bonkers.

It was particularly heartbreaking as it gave people an excuse to discount all the true and important stuff said on that particular thread. The thread was on a subject that was very important to a quite a few of us.
