Can you please, please ask the group of MNers that are using this term to stop coming onto CV related threads and throwing this word around? For whatever reason, they are being given carte blanche over their own series of threads which they use to mock and insult other MNers, but to continue throwing their tuppence into other threads in the Coronavirus topic screams of attention seeking.

I'm not sure why even using the term 'Dementor' to describe other posters is seen as okay, but if they'd not insert it into other conversations, this place would be a bit more pleasant at the moment.

Morning, everyone.

Thanks for the comments on this thread. We've had a look at the 'dementor' threads and in general we don't think they're a problem. They seem to have been started in the spirit of support for people finding All This a bit anxiety inducing and the people referred to as 'dementors' aren't specifically others on threads but people generally, on Facebook, in the newspapers, in our lives... So we don't think that's a problem per se.

Of course if the term is being used as part of a stronger personal attack, we'd delete that as a breach of our talk guidelines so if you see that happening anywhere do hit the report button. We're always happy to take a look.
