You can set Reddit to read older posts first. Still a tad faffy with the direct replies splinting off (but then that's easier in a way too) but much easier to read DOWN the page :)

It's more "Is it possible x is a troll?" then responses "Yes I think so because x and y" or "No, they've been around for a while and seem lovely just need a bit of help" or "No, just a bit of a fantasist"

At least there we can say what we think regarding certain users trolling or not, in fact once a certain user did accuse someone else of being a nasty troll then had a conversation with said user and posted a public apology for saying it. That would never have happened here because the poster thinking someone else was a troll would have been banned for troll hunting and never gotten the chance to discuss their concerns with the other poster.
No-ones mincing their words because we don't have to be afraid and if that does offend snowflakes then perhaps its time they took a break from the internet as Justine put so well with Stratters. Smile

Well, what a delightful way to start a bank holiday weekend.

Are we still getting a disco ball icon? misses point of thread entirely

Cockroach milk is supposed to be some kind of superfood. I think I'll pass though.

Valuedopinion · 25/08/2017 19:38

I agree that the Reddit threads seem to self police quite well in the whole.

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 25/08/2017 19:39

Queen the Reddit threads are not brutal well not unless you're a snowflake.

Oh come off it that troll sub forum is quite brutal and nasty in places.

Shhh!** - you mustn't mention being on the Reddit...!! WinkGrin

Valuedopinion · 25/08/2017 19:41

In many instances it's not saying anything to someone's face. It's gossiping about certain posters who aren't even on the threads

Oh she is on the thread I think.

Tech did do a Glitterball, OneThing, but it got accidentally thrown through a window in a temper. It's a shame, but there you go....this is why we can't have nice things.

BrainSaysNo · 25/08/2017 19:43

Come join me BoreOfWhabylon, its an unusual place for me, I am normally very clear on where I stand.

I feel like I am at a tennis match at the moment (all self inflicted, I'm trying to avoid finishing sorting out a cupboard on the kitchen).
On the plus side I reminded myself during my clearing up there was a bottle of wine in there so have chucked that in the freezer for a speedy chill! The minus is that half of the cupboard is on the kitchen floor and I am about to get pissed Grin

FaithHopeCharityDesperation · 25/08/2017 19:43

this is why we can't have nice things.
Did an actual lol at that Grin
(No tea spat on screen though, sadly)

Hold the phone! You can MILK a cockroach? Please tell me this is a lie.

The Reddit group has people in it that I can imagine say in real life 'I tell it like it is me', not realising they're just being bitchy and ironically I sound like a bitch saying that.

Christinayangstwistedsista · 25/08/2017 19:51

Oh come on, Stratters is the one of the good ones, it would appear she has been treated very shabbily over this

oddfish · 25/08/2017 19:53

"Although most cockroaches don’t actually produce milk, Diploptera punctate, which is the only known cockroach to give birth to live young, has been shown to pump out a type of ‘milk’ containing protein crystals to feed its babies." - science thing.

Just had a little read of Reddit- surely the cockroach pic was a joke? Stratters didn't get banned because of that?Confused

Just didnt want to ignore you, will go back to reading the thread

Christinayangstwistedsista · 25/08/2017 20:00

I think the cockroach picture is funny rather than nasty and I would assume that's was how it was intended

Couldiseriouslybepregnant · 25/08/2017 20:00

The redit site is fab, i.love it Grin

derxa · 25/08/2017 20:01

The reddit group or bitch fest should be bleddy ashamed of themselves, making a sub specifically to dissect posters on here is low
