I think mn towers should out regulars who post nasty trol posts

because I think that would deter some from doing so.

The oh so unloveable truthhurts must be a regular as it seems to have been selective as to which topics it posted on, those that were most sensitive, maybe if these nasty trolls were outed by mn and their regular names were revealed, people would think twice about namechanging to be nasty and vile.

definatly, namechanging for being nasty shouldn't be tolerated, and it would be good to see who they are

according to Justine Truthhurts joined today, so is a nastly little troll not a regular who has name changed

Who's truthhurts? What did I miss?

That'll teach me to go to Netto to buy my cheap but lovey Pinot gragio!

When i read some of the horrible things that truthurts posted i thought it was a teenager, especially since they were all on a similar theme and it's half term. buthten maybe i'm just cynical. At least they have been banned

Blandmum · 16/02/2007 17:09

5 different posts on different threads, posts all deleted, posted now banned.

nasty stuff

Name changing for nastiness isn't tolerated. Offenders are jumped on by MNHQ.

Truthhurts was a rather obvious troll.

Don't respond to them, simply hit report post. Better yet, do a quick name search and report all the relevant posts immediately (which I did). If there is one post there are bound to be others.

Loads of people did report them, hence the quick response from MNHQ.

I'd like them removed, not sure I like 'outing'- we could never know why these people have behaved how they do- maybe I am worng but if someone behaves this way I often think they're either suffering mental health issues (attention seeking / delusional) or they're hiding from some big scary thing they don't want to face elsewhere.

boot them out, ban them.

ledodgy · 16/02/2007 17:10

Aren't they strange? I mean why do they bother? they have the same mentality as those that start internet viruses the mind boggles!

Quootiepie · 16/02/2007 17:12

Well, you can join again from a hotmail account or something, can't you? Could be a clever regular... and I guess we will never know.

ssd · 16/02/2007 17:21

why do they do it?

FGS haven't they anything better to do?

sad, some folk

Blandmum · 16/02/2007 17:23

some people just get off on being hurtful.

MN doesn't have tha many, but has had a few over the years I have been posting.

Some people are just plain nasty, and we don't have to psychoanalyse them. they just need banning

VeniVidiVickiQV · 16/02/2007 17:24

Indeed Quootie.

FoghornLeghorn · 16/02/2007 17:24

I always miss the action .

I agree though, I think name changing to be anything other than funny or a genuine poster who needs a new identity for some reason should be outed (but then I am extremely nosey)

NadineBaggott · 16/02/2007 17:26

eeeeeeeeeeek! don't out me MN I'm nice
