Old thread suddenly appearing in TIO

[TheyreMadITellYouMaaaad]

Why is this 10 year old thread appearing in my TIO? There are no new posts on it.

www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2395297-To-ask-what-you-think-about-female-viagra?utm_campaign=thread&utm_medium=app_share

Probably someone trolling posted on the thread, MNHQ will have deleted it, but also 'disappeared' the trolling post, so it looks like no-one has posted on it since the last post.

Yep what @BIWI said. They are trying to stop it getting restarted by accident via Active Conversations.

Don’t know why they can’t lock them

I see. I can imagine that the subject could attract trolls, but it is interesting and I’m tempted to resurrect it myself to ask whether there’s been any development.

And I’m also tempted to resurrect this name!

Hi @TheyreMadITellYouMaaaad - thanks for asking about this.

BIWI's right - when old threads are revived by trolls or spammers, we usually zap the posts completely to keep everything tidy, and then exclude the thread from the active list. But if the thread's in your TIO list it would still pop up.
