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?

HA! No one ever PMs me. But then I never ask and say little of interest...

Rhubarb, you aren't much of a secret squirrel, are you?

erm i know im a bit slow but where has that 'ring ss' thread gone? i cant see it anywhere?

Well thank you all for your PMs and yes Helen, I do accept the job offer and terms of contract thanks very much. I shall be there first thing Monday morning and have, as requested, put Pinot's name on the One To Watch list.

Last time I said that Hetty, AnyFucker PM's me filth. It was GREAT!

Beer, have you PM'd me chick? Nowt there bab.

I'd like a klaxon too, please and thanks Rhubs.

Princess, me? I'm like James Bond me, you'd never see me. Invisible secret agent - that's me!

Oooh HelenMumsnet had a quoting fail... Is that how you all do it then? [quote HelenMumsnet] blah blah blah [quote]

Learn something new every day.

Not that this new information will benefit me in any way of course. Just nice to know!

Is it a photo of your minge again Beer? FGS woman. Putitaway.

I'm going to leave now whilst my integrity and ability to be discreet is still intact.

No-one ever pms me filth, Pinot. Clearly I am Not Worthy.

I flash my bits to you on a daily basis in t'lair SDTG and you knows it.

Rhubs Wot larks

That's true, Pinot - it's something of a highlight, to be fair.

Blummin' lezzers!
I ain't here mate, you can't see me, I'm 'aving a poo

No - you're 'avin a larf!

PINOT YOU HO, WHERE IS THE GODDAMN SS THREAD??

I miss everything

I have suggested this before, but, how about the floating bar by user names is set with the month and year of joining. That way when someone post's

'I'm a reg that has n/changed. Can we talk about my neglectfulness, ishoo's, bird murdering fetish etc'

If the join date on the Floating bar of truth© says Feb2012 that would indicate bullshit

Bit - it's gorn innit. Into the ether, where all bunfighty mebbe dodgy freds go to die. PM ME YOUR OLD NAME YA CUNT betcha fifty pence I know who it is

bloody hell what have I missed?

naughtychicken - problem with that idea (length of use) is that it could make it more likely long-time posters are outed, as there aren't that many posters who have been here 10 plus years, so if I had an inkling that "omgIhavenits" might be xyzpostedsince 2001, and then there was a note staying the poster "omgIhavenits" has posted on MN since 2001...

My god I've learnt more from this thread than all my years of school!

I am a lurker, I admit it.

My name is iCAN and I am addicted to lurking.

It is very rare I venture out of the safety of lurkdom as I never have good advice to give on the serious threads and am not funny so the light-hearted threads are out too.

I like to think i'm a fairly cynical old bint but no, turns out I firmly belong on the bench formerly occupied by pinot

I was sucked in by every one of the threads mentioned, every bloody one!

I've just re-read the one in relationships. I am a tool.

And that nobody world EVER suspect Pinot ("Has she only been here a year? Well I never!")...
