Perhaps it's time to suspend new registrations, MNHQ?

You reap what you sow, I fear.

Since penisbeaker, and SheffieldGuy, both of which were widely touted by Mumsnet themselves, we have had an influx of dubious posters.

Another couple of blokes looking for sex today, plus one persistent odious racist poster.

Would you consider suspending the ability of people to register until this all dies down?

Of course, that would also preclude anyone in need of help and support from joining, which would be a terrible shame.

And please stop linking and promoting such dubious posts/posters. It doesn't do anyone here any favours.

Hi all,

Thanks for this and we do totally see where you are coming from and the last thing we want is to be overrun by trolls.

The thing is, we can never anticipate a reaction about a thread. The Sheffield thread responses were very funny and we did share them, but we also shared 20/30 other threads last week about many different things.

We never know what the media will pick up on, if at all.

We do get to reports as quickly as we possibly can and we do suspend registrations if we see an invasion happening - sometime for half an hour, sometimes all night.

The night watch is currently with Tech and we will hopefully have it up and running over the coming months. We are sure this will help.

As has been said a few times on the thread already, trolls love attention, that is what they are here for. We know it can be hard when their posts are massively inflammatory but it really is best to report and ignore. We will get to the reports as quickly as possible and remove them and their posts.

Please do also feel free to report other funny threads or posts that you would like to see shared on our social media channels - we are always on the look out for witty and intelligent threads to share.
