Are you ever going to do anything about trolls?

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 Confused

Oh no....now someone has resurrected an anal thread.

Yawn.

AlpacaYourThings · 22/04/2014 22:36

Yes, Randall it was sick. Thankfully, I don't think the OP seen the message as MNHQ deleted it so quickly.

I suppose if there was an 'urgent' button everyone would click it. Especially the woe is me OP's who start goady threads and can't take the backlash

I reckon that would be interesting for more than one reason, Sparkling.

I've started a thread asking about the report whole thread button idea.
They might think it's a stupid idea but hey no.

I often wonder if a view count on threads would prevent over-sharing. I think it's mistakenly viewed as a safe lil bubble here but a view count of 23, 275 would help gain
some perspective?

Sparklingbrook · 22/04/2014 22:40

I have probably got loads of reports for my lovely 80s pictures, but none of them have been deleted. Grin

Sparklingbrook · 22/04/2014 22:41

Have I already said that although I am in favour of the Night Watch I would rather report to them privately than stick it on a thread for all the trolls to see.

AlpacaYourThings · 22/04/2014 22:43

Maybe MNHQ could have an automatic thread referral section:

  1. Bum sex
  2. Anal
  3. Spanking
  4. No strings attached
  5. Ladies

Etc and if your post hits 3 or more of the 'key words' it gets moved automatically to the "Troll thread investigation area" for MNHQ to check.

Ooh yes, when they have Penis Beaker in their list I'm always Confused that proves NOTHING!

Sparklingbrook · 22/04/2014 22:52

I think unless they have mention 'cube of poo' or 'river of sweetcorn' to err on the side of caution these days.

Fairenuff · 22/04/2014 22:53

Someone suggested that the zombie alert should be at the top of the thread, near the OP, that might help people to stop feeding old sex pests, sorry I mean, posts.

AlpacaYourThings · 22/04/2014 22:54

It's right next to where they type though, Fairenuff. I don't see how it could be missed!

RandallFloyd · 22/04/2014 22:55

Excellent idea, Alpaca.
Any thread addressing us as 'ladies' should go directly to the holding pen.

Fairenuff · 22/04/2014 22:56

True Alpaca but posters are responding to the OP. How do they miss it? Confused

AlpacaYourThings · 22/04/2014 22:58

YY - maybe they only need to use two words off the list.

I know, I'm Confused

SagaNorensLeatherTrousers · 22/04/2014 22:58

To be fair I think the zombie alert disappears as soon as someone a perv reanimates it. I think I noticed that yesterday on spanksters' threads.

AlpacaYourThings · 22/04/2014 23:00

I've seen it stay for a few posts. Maybe 3? Saga

I'd add any posts about pooing/peeing your pants in a public place. As soon as I see one of those I do think obvious poo troll.
