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

How can you spot a troll?

ThePassionOfHoneydragon · 21/04/2014 14:49

Sorry Rebecca but ScottishMummy spoke first, it wasn't trolls at all it is just us same old people moaning about the site having gawn to the dogs.

Don't come swanking in here with your big blue box of authority and expect us to listen. Grin

Or some auld gimemer moaning of that mn gorn to the dogs
As boring and predictable as trolls
At least trolls are sometimes funny

Sparklingbrook · 21/04/2014 15:32

Who are you calling a 'auld gimemer' sm?

scottishmummy · 21/04/2014 15:34

The collective moaners who habitually complain how rotten mn is
Nearly daily someone starts a handwringing gum bumping thread complaining
I don't think there has been a deterioration,or mn was better in days yore

But sm you habitually moan about the moaners as far as I can tell. I don't understand why you get so bothered with it.

It's opinion. You think MN is the same as it ever was and lots of other people think the opposite.

Nobody can change the other's opinion, so it just goes round in circles.

All I know is that it was troll central last night and IMO there are more troll threads around. MN need to be looking into ways to make it harder.

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 21/04/2014 15:38

I'd like to comment, but as I don't have the faintest idea who any of you are, I won't bother.

scottishmummy · 21/04/2014 15:43

I'm addressing the global moaning,the habitual mn is so bad threads
These threads arrive near daily.same generic content,usual complaints
It's not a view I share,so of courses will comment

Mmm. Wouldn't be so much fun to just hide the threads would it?

scottishmummy · 21/04/2014 15:47

If I consistently hold the opinion that mn isn't given to dogs,or deteriorates I'll consistently express it
In same way those who feel mn deteriorated are consistent in saying so
Yiu see that's how forums go,someone express pov,it is then examined,discussed with bit riposte

There's no 'discussion' when one party says the same thing on repeat.

scottishmummy · 21/04/2014 15:52

Well if they want to habitually say mn us deteriorating,and others reply that's discussion
I don't expect to disavow the habitual complainers of their pov,it's too ingrained
I will of course challenge that pov,and naturally I'd expect them to rebuke back.that's how it goes

Sparklingbrook · 21/04/2014 15:54

I have had more than enough of rebukes and challenges in the last 24 hours.

scottishmummy · 21/04/2014 15:58

Well given mn is a discussion forum,and your discussing a pov,goes with territory
If don't want rebuked,and seek reinforcement you'll not necessarily find it on mn
No one needs to agree,in fact the frisson of polarised opinion makes mn exciting to read

Fizzybangfanny · 21/04/2014 16:00

Grin SM

So much hand wringing and hypocrisy on this thread! You people need to get RL!

scottishmummy · 21/04/2014 16:04

The rl that involves yiu bumping gums on mn and doing asinine wee facesGrin
Don't do the you're so nonchalant posting,but everyone else they need to. Get a life
You're posting you're as embroiled as anyone else
