Thread Deleted ( Parts 1,2,3, and 4)

[AnneKipankitoo]

I saw that thread 4 was deleted with the message
about breaking Mumsnet guidelines.
The 3 previous threads were deleted too.

Which guidelines were broken?

What’s a PBP? I was so invested in this and really hope the Op has the courage to leave him. Her last post sounded like she wasn’t going to and needed solid evidence, but there was so much evidence!

So why not state that in the deletion message?

The stories might not have added up because we are continually advised to change little details to prevent real world outing etc, so surely that doesn't mean the posters are breaking the guidelines by doing this.

Tbh, that particular deletion message shouldn't exist unless it states which particular guideline it breaks.

This sounds familiar -www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2371110-To-ask-what-PBP-means?utm_campaign=thread&utm_medium=share

Ditto!

That poster needs to look into writing for a living, their imagination knew no bounds.

Massage parlour was also involved. OP moved in with her parents temporarily. In the meantime, the H's mother texted to say that he'd had to see the doc about MH issues.

Oh...I feel like such a fool.

It was absolute nonsense and that was clear from the outset. I have no idea why the first thread was allowed to stand, never mind 4 threads. I reported it and I imagine many others did too. People were troll hunting on the thread too but their posts were deleted.

The reason I thought it was nonsense was that around the time it was posted there were a couple of other threads about oversharing about sex life or saying inappropriate things to people's friends on a night out and those ended up getting pulled for not being a genuine poster. Troll threads like this tend to appear in clusters along a similar theme. People see that a particular topic gets hits and then make up their own bollocks along similar lines to get people frothing.

I only glanced at the very first post, eye-rolled and closed it as I personally felt OP was overreacting - granted I didn't read that closely, before anyone comes at me.

Saw things had escalated to 4 threads and thought...must be all bullshit. Wish I'd had a chance to read it all now, sounds like it was enthralling. A footballer, aye?

True I was accused of lacking empathy for pointing this out.

I mentioned she'd had all the advice she could possibly need, but she kept on and on. Seemed to relish threads filling up and having to start a new one with so many followers.

"A woman is hurting, show some empathy"
That was me told!

Don't. The fools are the ones posting amateur creative writing exercises for shits and giggles.

I'll still respond if I think the thread is generating an interesting discussion despite its OP being a figment of someone's lively imagination.

Real 'trolling' is something I understand to be far more sinister than just making up silly stories. It seems on MN its meaning has become diluted somehow. But trolling, in the real, old-fashioned sense of that word is corroding this site far more than the fantasists, IMO.

Oliver's army years ago was all BS and so were the sad widow threads, but people fell for them. As for the threads in question today I read the first one thought what bollocks and didn't bother reading anymore.
Maybe the poster who wrote the threads is a) a wannabe author or b) just an attention seeker either way id say find something better to do love

Actually the first one said this ...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don't know about the oliver's army thread but sad widow was one that I knew from another chatboard, way back and she was a genuine (but overreaching) person who had this absolute determination to put herself in the saviour role.

I wish she would have been a troll but she wasn't.

Yes, DH was the star player in his Sunday league. He bragged to his football friends about having anal sex with OP, sexually harassed a younger teammate’s sister so badly that he was banned from the pub where she worked, had a secret stash of Viagra, frequented strip clubs (and often went missing from the group on boys’ nights out), and went to massage parlours that only accept cryptocurrency. OP’s MIL backed her boy and told OP to look the other way. Am I missing anything?

To be fair whether it was true or not there wasn’t much more to add.

The OP was going in circles not actually addressing anything. If it’s true, she’ll just stay because she didn’t get a full on explicit movie so therefore she had no proof.

Lord help us.

At the risk of emphasising my duff-ness, can anyone tell me why someone would put so much time, effort and mental energy into running a post about an entirely fake scenario? I mean, I just can't even begin to fathom out what someone would achieve by doing this?

It could be anything from mental illness to loneliness 🤷‍♂️

It's been happening ever since chat forums were invented.

Agreed...Fast moving can well mean fiction- Especially sex based topics.

The first two threads seemed possible but unlikely.

By thrle third one onward, it was very obvious that it was complete rubbish.

I got a post deleted for saying "no one can be this stupid".

It's a very sad reflection on someone's life if fake threads if how they get their thrills.

It wasn’t real.

I didn't think it was a genuine thread so am not surprised and don't care that it's gone.

Honestly the more I read the more it sounded like a plot in Footballer's wives 😂

Just another quick update to say we've updated the deletion messages on those threads now to give a bit more information. Apologies that that was overlooked when they were originally deleted.

After all the talk of Thai massage parlours and happy endings, the fact the OP’s final post said she just wanted a “fairytale ending like in the movies” felt like the point where they just couldn’t keep a straight face anymore

Argh disappointed in myself for getting so caught up in this!! I honestly thought it was real and she was genuinely naive
