Do you need to put up a sticky on all boards about the Spanish husband?

I've lost count of the number of threads people have started about this thread, which I gather was deleted as there were concerns the OP wasn't on the level. When will it end?!

Please!

There should be a trollwatch thread or something that only MNHQ can post to to update everyone on threads like this

toomuchlaundry · 28/03/2022 22:28

The main thread hasn’t been deleted, it is just full up

LemonViolet · 28/03/2022 22:34

Yes buts it a troll thread so people are looking for part 2 and continually posting TAATs looking for what happened

We need a troll notice board!

How do you know it was a troll thread?

MichelleScarn · 28/03/2022 22:55

@Santiagopink

How do you know it was a troll thread?
The level of drama, the pace of it and the drip feeds... especially the daan-daan-daaaaan! post re the golf buddy's DW and her mother's day photo with the kids and bf in bed... who took the photo... yada ya da ya da!
LemonViolet · 28/03/2022 23:02

Because that is what is said on every TAAT thread that is deleted, I think

Capricornandproud · 28/03/2022 23:07

I know!!!! Totes invested!!

cigarettesNalcohol · 28/03/2022 23:37

When what do you mean troll thread ? Op made it up ?

cigarettesNalcohol · 28/03/2022 23:38

That should read what do you mean... not when what.

RJnomore1 · 28/03/2022 23:39

It’s been absolutely ridiculous today to the point I’m starting to think the poster is starting half of the threads as there cannot possibly be that many gullible people out there!

GoldenOmber · 28/03/2022 23:47

They should just put up a sticky in general.

“What happened to the thread I was really invested in, with the new poster, who through no fault of her own was in a very difficult yet intricately explained situation that unfolded dramatically day by day, who was relying on us so very much for support and really appreciated the little name we gave to our fan club? You know, the thread that rapidly got to 1000 posts and some of her supporters were offering to set up a new one for her in case she was too overwhelmed to manage it herself? And then the thread I was reading got mysteriously deleted and all the other threads about it went too? Whatever could have happened?”

“…think it through.”

dipdye · 28/03/2022 23:51

But there's a chance it wasn't a troll?

RewildingAmbridge · 28/03/2022 23:54

If it's a troll thread why hasn't it been deleted? There was a we're taking a look behind the scenes message for a bit, but the original thread is still there. I think that's what's promoting the TAATs. If it was just deleted with a sorry folks... People would move on

RJnomore1 · 28/03/2022 23:58

Yep there’s a chance shergar and lord lucan are living happily together in France too I guess.

Pixiedust1234 · 29/03/2022 00:40

Waiting for this to be deleted as its a TAAT too Hmm

I wish MN would make people read and sign something to this effect before opening an account Grin

Hello everyone - while a troll watch board sounds like a good idea in principle; we fear that it would attract more of the blighters and they'd feel a (bizarre) sense of accomplishment if their thread made it to troll corner. If we had to do a sticky it'd probably make their year.
(Sometimes I like to think they have an annual troll conference where they wear a white badge denoting their specialist subject.)

Anyway, we like to give posters the benefit of the doubt but it's very likely that Spanish air pod husband OP was a troll. Sorry. We hope no one was waiting at the airport.

Again, for the posters at the back IT WAS A TROLL - PLEASE DON'T START ANOTHER TAAT Grin

If you ever want to know what happened to a thread - just drop us a mail at [email protected].

Thanks all.

Troll corner! Grin The internet has shone an unwelcome light on some of the odder facets of human behaviour, that's for sure.
