is it ok to ask "are you a troll"?

[ZingTheGreat]

just that. when we suspect that something is fishy I don't want to have to report a thread.
that's not troll hunting IMO, it's troll interviewing.
that should be allowed.

Every now and then I want to ask the OP if they are a troll.
we could do this 1 time per thread. if OP says no then we believe them,
if no answer it's a troll.
easy peasy

how about that?

I'm fed up with fucking trolls and I just want to ask this question on the thread.

Oh and can I put forward strictly come trolling.

I could a be Craig "dull, dull, dull" reville thingy, type judge

Glacinda

Buttered And Bruno Troll-ioni

Dancing on Thin Ice with Jason Gardner?

The desk is very shiny Zing. Adds to the scene

Peppa Pig's new friend Tina Troll, with little brother Tommy Troll.
Mrs Troll could be an MNer.....

I have a bit of a soft spot for the funny trolls

'I went to a wedding and all they served was chips and marmite on toast'

'AIBU to think my 3 yr old should be able to kick whoever they like' etc etc

Its the weird prem baby/suicide/pregnancy woes that piss me off.

I think I'll be the good cop, I prefer the loving approach.

but there's a post open for a bad cop. for the really norty trolls

rise
"AIBU to want to lick my boss's chest" was hilarious.

they are Drolls though and should be allowed to indicate their nature by using a little jester hat icon next to their title

The thread last night about the baby was a troll? ? I read that when up in the night with my son and felt so sorry for her.I'm no good at spotting these!

Oh oh...pick me pick me! Bad Cop please!

Let's just hope we don't end up with The Great Troll Escape

primrose
yes

I saw it and thought "if that was me I'd call the hospital, not post on MN"
I feel so sorry for all who replied and got hurt

Beach

the position is yours. you hold the cat. want an eyepatch too?

that's not troll hunting IMO, it's troll interviewing.

Have you tried it out yet?

If it's the one I was on Primrose she had the thread deleted herself.

yes, not with those exact words though

I said "fess up, what the fuck is going on?"

no answer.

Zing if the bad-cop post is modelled a la Blofeld / Bond villain, how're you envisaging the good-cop?

I'll be like the chubby fairy godmother in Cinderella. so they feel safe and happy to admit their crimed.
I'll even hug the ones that just need a little bit of love.

Beach will deal with the rest

but I will swear. a bit

I'll be the Sweary Godmother

So, not like in the lego movie, with a swivel head?

no.

but good you brought up Lego Movie.
we need a theme song
