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

slithy, that would seem like a good idea. But I've become very cynical recently - I suspect many of the trolls are actually long-term posters who just want a bit of extra attention.

Not to mention the ones (probably members of the fictional writers' group) who are long term trolls Hmm They start slow, and ramp it up.

The trolls threads have been very irritating this evening.

They are so predictable.

And not even a little bit funny.

Please tell me you didn't come via penisbeaker, mockingjay? You may have to go and scrub your keyboard with bleach, do the same to your eyeballs and start again.

They aren't funny which is a shame. I appreciate an intelligent troll. Get good and sucked in for a few pages. Grin Sadly they are a rare breed.

MaRyzerection · 21/04/2014 01:23

[arf] at frothing.

sm, do you ever do anything but froth about people frothing?

I just don't know what to think any more. My radar seems to be permanently aglow.

AlpacaYourThings · 21/04/2014 01:23

Honestly, I think there should be a member since but next to your name. I get that people will complain about 'MN Royalty' but honestly, it's got to be better than this?

scottishmummy · 21/04/2014 01:24

If mn causes you such angst,leave.you don't define the site,it'll carry on regardless

AlpacaYourThings · 21/04/2014 01:24

I said honestly a bit too much Blush

Sparklingbrook · 21/04/2014 01:25

YY sm you say that every time.

D0oinMeCleanin · 21/04/2014 01:25

I'd actually never seen you before OP, nor did I recognise you, until my mouse did that wandering across the screen on it's own thingy I spotted the by-line under your name.

I am ashamed to admit that I did, originally, think you were a troll trying to prove a point

Wine?

I don't come on MN as much anymore, it seems to have had the humour sucked out of it lately, I've been hanging around the last few days to escape the crappiness of RL. Tonight has me considering whether to go back into hiding.

MaRyzerection · 21/04/2014 01:26

pm'ed you Rhonda Grin

OP posts:
RhondaJean · 21/04/2014 01:27

Or maybe even a number of previous posts - obviously broad for anonymity - less than 100, 100-500, 500-1000...

That could be Embarassing mind you!

MaRyzerection · 21/04/2014 01:27

Don't do that D0in, I'm nice, honest I am (despite my weird Easter name).

It's a bit strange around here atm.

I'll habitually say it.if you think mn gorn to dawgs/keech/not like ole days.leave

Sparklingbrook · 21/04/2014 01:29

I don't think it has sm I just know that tonight it has been full of Trolls.

MaRyzerection · 21/04/2014 01:29

If you don't like people complaining, you could leave.

And if you don't like me (which you have made very clear you don't), why on earth do you always post on my threads?

If I don't like people, I avoid them, which seems sensible to me.

SM I've not heard keech for years! One of my late dad's favourite adjectives, as in "a pile of" Grin

scottishmummy · 21/04/2014 01:33

Who are you addressing in your red mist?

MaRyzerection · 21/04/2014 01:34

You, sm.

If you don't like me, why do you always follow me around and try to talk to me? You obviously think I'm a pain in the arse, that's fine.

The feeling is mutual Smile

I am (now) assuming that Op is usually Maryz, for whom I usually have huge respect.

And have been reading her posts this eevning, on different threads, as Maryz erection, rather than the "resurrection" (I now presume was) intended.

So that's been odd interesting.

You're not significant.you're one of the Chunterring masses that mn gorn to dogs
