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.

Detek?

Twice.

Sorry sorry, I'm still on page 6 so not up to the Dereks yet. But page 6 leaves me thinking whoever is in MNHQ dealing with all the troll reports, has just gone to raid the arts supply cupboard and are busy making TIT badges for themselves. And henceforth when they read a message that is trollie related there will be a chorus of TIT go round the room.

Do e-TITs look like this?

Clever double bluff with the name Glacinda

I am going to be so tempted to do two biscuits when I suspect a troll.

flash yer tits at them magi that will teach'em!

Like wot I do when changing at the pool.

I'm confused - first we're all TITs, then none of us are TITs, then Derek is a Detec…

For the record, I am fully clothed!

You are a biscuit, Pacific.

Or a biscuit hunter!

those nipples look very sore magi

They are blushing as I've just used them in a 'poo' thread - I know I'll be deleted, but couldn't resist!

Oh, if I were a biscuit, I'd be an enormous one and I could eat myself!

The poo thread is hilarious

Nobody noticed me deploying 'TITs' in the poo thread

Pacific I will rush off & look......................

Nice one, Pacific - really good use there. Not often I chuckle out loud when reading MN.

please pm me i fancy a chuckle

I think Mumsnet were saying above, that the acceptable code for "are you a troll?" Is "can you clarify?"

Taps nose Righto.

good point Crispy

I shall design a x-stitch sample

has it been zapped?

Yep, gone

Thank you for your support, magi.
I was going to say something complimentary about your boobs, but that seems somehow wrong now…
