"Message from MNHQ: We had an awful lot of reports on this thread, and an awful lot of troll hunting. As it did sound a tiny bit goady, we felt it was probably best deleted."

I think some more choice words for that OP could have been found? Other than pervs and bereavement trolls, I can't think of much that is less in the spirit!

Also does that mean the OP was real and is a mnetter who now returns to her lovely usual username to advise anybody on anything Shock Shock Shock?

Evening, Pax, and others. To be honest, at the moment, we don't know for sure whether the OP was definitely genuine or not. But we were getting an awful lot of reports coming in so we felt it was best we contact the OP off the boards.

We wouldn't always take a thread down while we do that but the combination of the thread sounding a bit goady (whether true or not) and the number of troll-hunting posts we would otherwise be deleting anyway, meant we felt there was little point leaving it up while we talked to the OP and tried to find out what was what. That's all we meant in the deletion message really.

Sorry we can't tell you more than that right now. We just don't always have all the answers we're afraid, but hope that explains our thinking on the deletion message anyway.
