What’s the plan for trolls?

I’m sick of seeing people being sucked into threads about periods, shit, schools, weird ‘women’ troubles, teacher issues, underwear, children's sexuality, dog piss, pretending to be rich, nannies, nurseries etc etc etc blah blah blah.

We get banned if we call these horrific humans out. Surely it’s high time to have some sort of signal to alert everyone else to NOT share intimate stories or give advice to this hideous people?

MNHQ. It’s getting out of hand now. Every other forum has decent anti-troll things in place. Why’s yours?

Hi there MustardScreams,

We know we sound like a stuck record on this but honestly the best thing you can do is hit the report button on these.

Yes, sometimes we get it wrong, or it takes us a while to work out that someone is a troll. But for the most part, it is usually obvious from our end when someone is trolling. (We're afraid we don't want to give too much away about how we can tell and what we're doing to keep trolls out but please know that it's one of our priorities).

We understand why it's tempting to troll hunt but it really does just encourage the mendacious little beggars further. A quick report to us is honestly the most efficient way of getting it sorted, and in the middle of the night you can always drop The Night Watch a line, too.
