Why can they keep coming back? Lord knows how many threads they've started now - which seem to run for ages as well, before being deleted.

Hi @BIWI we'll continue to block and ban - but if you see a troll returning please report asap and we'll rush over with a ban hammer.

vodkaredbullgirl · 30/06/2022 15:33

Hammer their fingers, so they can't type.

JustTheOneSwan · 30/06/2022 15:34

Are they using a proxy?
That's either a long game patient troll or a full on psychotic breakdown.

BIWI · 30/06/2022 16:33

Yes @JustTheOneSwan it's debatable which they are. What's not debatable is just how irritating they are!

How do you know it's a 'troll'? How do you know they're just making it up for laughs? I found them quite consistent in posting style throughout.

I did wonder about a proxy as it just seems weird that they can continue to post. Help is needed there whatever.

BIWI · 30/06/2022 16:39

... and quite barking throughout too.

The constant changing of name was one clue @rocketfromthecrypt, along with the same issue again and again

Are you upset because they keep pushing carbs? I’m sure they’d be happy to suggest a low carb pairing Wink

BIWI · 30/06/2022 16:52

Maybe it's that Aidan. Eating all the carbs.

OP posts:
Staynow · 30/06/2022 16:57

I just wanted to know who the hell Aiden was. But they seemed to think they were making sense when they weren't and it seemed so random that it didn't seem like a troll? Maybe they have quite serious mental health problems?

Ncwinc · 30/06/2022 16:57

It wouldn’t surprise me …

mynameiscalypso · 30/06/2022 17:34

It's got too ridiculous now to be anything it someone who is very bored. There's another one at the moment.

BIWI · 30/06/2022 17:37

Back again @MichaelMumsnet!

OP posts:
BIWI · 30/06/2022 17:37

I realise that MNHQ will say TSSNCOP, but how on earth does this poster keep coming back, if you're banning them?

Something seriously awry here.

@BIWI

its like a return on the Boxroom Troll!! Took feckin forever to get that dingbat removed for good!!

mind you, they are somewhat amusing I think!

Tribb · 30/06/2022 17:51

They did at least manage a teensy bit of variety when they started a thread asking why someone they'd been on one date with had dumped them. Then followed the familiar "No one's better than meeee! Why did he choose Aiden?"

I'd almost forgotten about Boxy the Boxroom troll.

gabagoulghost · 30/06/2022 17:54

Whatever happened to the old piss troll?

Haven't heard from them in a bit.

ElizaJones · 30/06/2022 19:07

I actually don’t think she’s trolling in the usual sense. I think she is deeply unwell and in a state of extreme paranoia.

anybloodyname · 30/06/2022 19:16

I totally agree @ElizaJones I see it as someone who has serious issues and really needs help
I did also laugh and tease a little bit after a few threads I realised she is not being goady , she's seriously affected by not getting this job and probably has a few other social difficulties .

CuriousCatfish · 30/06/2022 19:19

I think it's just someone trolling. MN has been over run with more trolls than usual the last few weeks.

mynameiscalypso · 30/06/2022 19:23

Nah, I reckon she/he is just finding it funny to wind everyone up. The posts are getting loads of replies before they're deleted so she/he is loving it I'm sure.

JustTheOneSwan · 30/06/2022 19:25

I think so too @ElizaJones if it's a troll they are determined enough to create multiple emails to register, mask IP address and give a good example of a paranoid delusion complete with imagined tenuous links, baffling evidence and a deep urge for someone else to see and confirm the pattern.
I thought troll at first but it's ramping up over the last few days yet just earnest repetition, I'm convinced it's a MY crisis now.

JustTheOneSwan · 30/06/2022 19:26

stepuporshutup · 30/06/2022 19:37

Not sure why the op keeps posting maybe is lonely and this is the only communication op has

CuriousCatfish · 30/06/2022 20:03

Maybe they are getting their kicks from trolling MN.
