Bet they are all in bed. Not to worry, I have reported too. They will be gone in the morning Smile. In the mean time..it's past midnight..do not feed them!

ThatVikRinA22 · 01/06/2012 02:02

definitely not feeding....Smile

just waiting for the HQ trigger finger to get it right!

Oh no, not again. This is starting to become a regular fixture... Sad

SkipTheLightFanjango · 01/06/2012 02:05

In case you were wondering I did mean don't feed the trolls..not starve MNHQ..those trigger fingers need all the energy they can get on a half term Grin

Thumbwitch · 01/06/2012 02:06

Tedious, isn't it. At least the one post I have seen so far hasn't been as offensive as many of them.

SkipTheLightFanjango · 01/06/2012 02:08

What makes it worse is they appear to be a bit of a light-weight, couldn't go past the 2am pause? Grin

ThatVikRinA22 · 01/06/2012 02:10

ha! and they were not particularly witty either....

MarmiteButties · 01/06/2012 02:10

Forgive me please. I fed the troll. Only once and then reported myself Blush

SkipTheLightFanjango · 01/06/2012 02:11

BUT THEY DID SPEAK LOUDLY! Grin

I've emailed MNTowers with my advanced search of the name and just asked to have the whole lot deleted. Last week I was Very Noble and went through and reported each one - this week I just CBA have too much else to do.

giraffesCantFitInThePalace · 01/06/2012 02:19

I HAVEN'T NOTICED THE TROLLS YET

giraffesCantFitInThePalace · 01/06/2012 02:19

was school hols here today

Thumbwitch · 01/06/2012 02:32

it's not worth noticing, Giraffes. Tis a stupid troll. No imagination. In fact, tis probably the same stupid troll that was on the last 2 times the board got trolled up overnight. Booooorrring.

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 01/06/2012 02:41

Ah. There's a troll on the funeral thread in AIBU shouting about her itchy vag. I told her that one was already in Classics.

Won't feed her any more, I'm off to bed, but I'll report her first.

Goodnight and thanks for the heads up

giraffesCantFitInThePalace · 01/06/2012 02:53

oh those trolls are boring.

ShowOfHands · 01/06/2012 02:56

Same one that's always about at this time, usually shouting about RASCLARTS iirc.

TanteRose · 01/06/2012 03:08

I am sure I read a message from HQ recently saying that they hire someone in a different time zone to take on the night-shift...

I would have done it if they'd asked Grin

Thumbwitch · 01/06/2012 03:57

I offered, tante, I did! But they didn't take me up on it. In fact, iirc, a few of us offered...

HelenMumsnet · 01/06/2012 10:00

Hello. Thanks to all who reported our overnight visitor. He/she has been despatched back to the cesspool from which she/he clearly emerged.

And, Thumbwitch, in cases like this, no need to report each and every post: just one report with a note to say they're spattering their delights all over the shop would be fine. No reason why you should have to search for every single post - that's our delightful job!

In answer to your Qs, we do have someone on duty till pretty late each night and we do have a most lovely Tech overseas who checks in regularly after that.

We will, though, keep note of the occasions when things slip through the overnight night - and, if they're increasing, see if we can plan to stop that.

Thumbwitch · 01/06/2012 10:26

Thanks Helen - I'm glad that I was being over-enthusiastic! And equally glad that the cesspit troll has been despatched.

ShowOfHands · 01/06/2012 10:28

If you pay me in gingerbread, I'll stalk the hallowed and hushed halls of a nocturnal MN deleting at random our intrepid bridge dwellers. I shan't move anything important around. Promise.

While we're here and not on the subject, Heeellleeeennnn?

I care not for such ostentatious baubles. Equally, I'm not a magpie.

You should try a gingerbread emoticon. Know your audience OriginalAndBestHelen.
