Are you ever going to do anything about trolls?

[MaRyzerection]

Because it's really got fucking ridiculous.

You need to change your stance from "we have to prove it's trolling before we delete" to "we have to use common sense and realise this is ridiculous before we delete".

The site is becoming a parody of itself.

I'm getting to the stage that I no longer believe my own posts

sniff. I loved paggy too. :(

Only mentally sm. Some have been relegated and some have risen to the heights of Premier League Arseholes.

Splendid,it'd be deliciously obnoxious to reveal it
I imagine folk would like it
Like the mn narnia list or which Mollie would nominate you

I am not sure MN is ready for an AIBU thread of 'Sparkling's Mental Sh*tlist' just yet. I'm keeping it under my hat.

^ I like what wannaBe said.

I can't remember why it was mentioned but a few months back a thread was started a thread about potentially having an 'immediate, big, red, flag' report button (think it might have been on a bereavement troll thread?) for when a troll is being a massively upsetting dick, is there anyway to implement if a poster gets more than x reports the thread can be hidden/suspended until MN HQ get to judge it/speak to OP?

Narnia? Mollie?

I do think that the 'Report' page could be better. Just have tick boxes maybe.
There is only spam and other at the moment.
I really think there should be at least a tick box that says-

'I believe this thread to be a load of cobblers'

Mollie should have been moldie
Narnia was a set of dormant threads discussing posters that got revealed

YY maybe a tick box with 'WTF?' next to it. That would work too.

I see.

Moldies was before my time.

Moldie was were regulars who felt mn gone to dogs,they set up an invite only forum
The fallout of a rival site and folk not bring invited was nuclear

It could go

Spam
Bolleaux
Creepywankyperv
Seriously bad

I also think it would be good to have a separate box to report a whole thread rather than an individual post.

I remember on a Bereavement thread recently there was an absolutely disgusting post about the OP's DD. It was deleted within about two minutes. I wondered at the time if MNHQ were watching that thread or if there were just so many reports that they looked at it straight away.

I think perhaps two categories

Trolls and Droles....

Good that HQ were so quick but bloody awful that it happened at all, Alpaca.

Some people really are pond scum.

MNHQ have admitted they quite like a witty comment in the report box.

I would be interested to see a league table of posters who are not banned but have had the most individual reports.

I reported that spanky weirdo with a simple 'Dear Lord'.

I mainly go with 'bolleaux' or 'trollololol' or 'seems legit '

Although I did once do a 'holy crap', but that was about a PA rather than a troll.

Suppose it can't hurt to ask can it.
