quickchange / getreal / shinyone

[Thomcat]

Dear mumsnet

Can you please do a check and see if quickchange / getreal and shinyone are all the same person and if so can you have a private word or perhaps look into barring them.

Things like this usually are water off a ducks back to me personally but she/he/it risks really, really causing serious pain to reqular mumsnetters and I think it might be a good idea to look into this.

Just an idea.

If this person is changing her name all the time just to say spiteful, nasty, things on mumsnet surely we want that stopped, right??
Anyway, nuff said, over to you to do what you think is best.

oh please stop having threads like these when i am trying to stay off mumsnet

I know people have referred to me as 'shinyone' and 'shinycat' but its not me........ I swear!

Enid, it's not just Titania's thread. A previous one, now deleted at least in part, clearly caused a lot of upset and misery at the weekend. you won't find the posts in question I don't think - I tried to in the interests of "informed moderating".

I have emailed MN HQ with my concerns, hopefulyl they will respond.

Marina- I only mentioned the 'floating' IP cos dh tells me that's what he's got (but he does have a sophis system- shame he wasn't more suave!!) and I didn't want anyone jumping on me and saying I was wrong for saying about IP's but i agree that a lot of people do have fixed IP's and I do think that certain ones 'could' be banned (as I'm sure some have been)

I do think that there should be more restriction on name changes though- in the evenings when HQ is quiet there's no one around to be able to identify name changng troublemakers

no couldnt find it and am trying not to get sucked in...

the getreal posts were deleted v quickly after they appeared.
With v good reason.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter what was said just that it could be ONE person using name change facility to change name lots so she/he can say stupid nasty things and I think MN might want to look into that.

I don't know what anyone is talking about

foot in mouth syndrome here but I really find it annoying how someone posts an opposite view to the majority and that opinion gets sensasionalised and blown all out of proportion by whoever eklse is on the thread

oh yes agree fio2

Ok... the word in bold looks weird, but I can't figue out what letter is wrong, and its bugging me.

For those lost, this thread is about people changing their names just to post bitchy comments, which to me is actually worse than trolling cos at least basic trolls don't normally know anyone.

Fio - It does bug me when that happens too, but I have only seen it a handful of times thankfully - it has normally been obvious trolling at work when things have kicked off that I have seen... although I don't seem to be on in the evenings when things tend to get the most nasty.

SENSATIONALISED

Thankyou!

I kept writing it and they all looked wrong in the end... like when you look at the word marmalade for too long...

oh i know I cant spell, i pondered over it for ages and thought WTF

i was only putting Mrs FS out of her misery, not meaning to be rude.

And I'd bet that the persistant trolls have more email addresses than you can shake a stick at.

Not the one I've had many encounters with - she just used name changing facilities, but admittedly did have 2 or 3 different user ID's on forums where names couldn't be changed - but it was still OBVIOULSY her.

Flamesparrow - I have been and swept my kitchen floor, put the coats away and put some clothes in the tumble dryer

Sorry - I wasn't trying to be rude either... it would have been floating round in my head all evening, so I thought it was easier to ask

Damn... I'm still sat here. I am cuddling DD though... does that count??

i think my threads been deleted. not sure why. if you could let me know mumsnet that be great, thanks

I just couldnt work out whether it was a S or a T and I got an A in GCSE English

PMSL now - coz i only got a C!

I'm still trying to work out how to spell fushia/fucshia... the bright pink colour/flower after trying to write it the other day!!!

Thankyou sooo much!
