also didn't get my money back....but then if she needed it that badly to construct the scam then maybe it's best she kept it....but I still feel like a mug..

FAQ · 01/10/2008 23:11

I know that others that "donated" at other times didn't , but I did just feel I ought to say (as it was mentioned above) that as far as I knew those on the collection mention above did get their money returned.

marmadukescarlet · 01/10/2008 23:11

ZF, that does make me feel better! Is that your reg name?

ZakuroFujiwara · 01/10/2008 23:13

yes it is...but I hardly ever post....just long term lurker....and donate like a mug to what I will increasingly now see as suspicious causes.........think I will stick to Secret Santa from now on...

marmadukescarlet · 01/10/2008 23:15

TBH, I cannot believe she is not banned if MNHQ know that there was a 'scam' collection which ended in her returning money?

TheCrackFox · 01/10/2008 23:15

God it has been totally confusing tonight. I got to page 26/31 of the epic thread before it got pulled. I am not sure I am any the wiser TBh.

FAQ · 01/10/2008 23:16

TCF - I got to page 28 (having missed everything else tonight) before it was pulled.

ingles2 · 01/10/2008 23:16

Marmaduke!
You are too too nice.....
(you too ZF btw)

hunkermunker · 01/10/2008 23:16

EIS and I need to start the Send Us A Quid fund up again, I think.

Never got a quid, mind you!

fourlittlefeet · 01/10/2008 23:16

me too. I was on page 20 where everyone was being outed. had anything changed by page 26? devoted an hour to that thread!

thumbwitch · 01/10/2008 23:17

yes sadly CvQ did read that thread and it has really upset her, unsurprisingly. I don't know what went on between her and Psychomum, nor do I want to, but I don't feel that PM's friend did anyone any favours by her behaviour on that thread.

i am really quite upset with it myself - it has tarnished the "MN community" spirit for me a lot.

TheCrackFox · 01/10/2008 23:19

I am completely niave because I just thought Ethanwahtsherface seemed incredibly mature for a 15 year old. I am such a prat some times.

marmadukescarlet · 01/10/2008 23:19

hello my lovely, you still up? How is your hen? I am supposed to be trawling t'internet looking for a replacement holiday to lapland which was cancelled today due to overbooking (although we booked in Feb and paid in full in March), but it is soul-destroying. They are all booked for our available dates, I just know I am going to have to tell the DC we are not going

hunkermunker · 01/10/2008 23:20

TW, Flame wouldn't have said what she did unless she had quite serious concerns about the whole thing.

thumbwitch · 01/10/2008 23:20

For anyone who did get as far as CvQ being mentioned as being a troll, she is not, and MNHQ know this, which is why the thread has gone.

thumbwitch · 01/10/2008 23:21

i can't remember how far on the thread you were, hunker, but even Flame conceded that CvQ wasn't a troll by the end of it, just before it was pulled, by my reading of it anyway.

Soapbox · 01/10/2008 23:22

How do MNHQ 'know' that?

How can they ever 'know' who is a troll?

I suspect that they 'know' that CvQ is not the same poster as EC, but I can't see how they can 'know' much more than that?

fourlittlefeet · 01/10/2008 23:24

surely it would have been better to leave the thread rather than having people read to that point and then go off with half baked ideas? or am I missing something (don't want anyone to be upset by a witch hunt obviously, but if I hadn't persued it to this thread would never have known)

fourlittlefeet · 01/10/2008 23:25

pursued even. bit tired now.

ingles2 · 01/10/2008 23:25

oh no ... hen is v.v.weird.. will email tomorrow x

piratecat · 01/10/2008 23:26

i think if you name change, mn hq knows it is you, as you change your name in your registration part.

LyraSilvertongue · 01/10/2008 23:26

I only got as far as the CvQ bit then the thread was pulled. So she's not a troll now?

LyraSilvertongue · 01/10/2008 23:27

Who is TWR?

Soapbox · 01/10/2008 23:27

I get the namechanger thing, but they can't provide assurance that any one poster is not a troll can they?

piratecat · 01/10/2008 23:27

no, thats the prob, all the accusations, and then thread gets pulled.
