Bunbury’s Public Service Announcement 2

[arranbubonicplague]

The useful Bunbury Guide to Spotting Community Disruptors is constantly evolving.

The best research and advice is not to engage with community disruptors and trolls. As ever, if you suspect troll activity, report it to MNHQ.

This is a continuation of the first Public Service Announcement thread:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3321127-public-service-announcement

If and when you see threads plopped into FWR, especially a curious repeat of well worn topics, maybe check for poster history before engaging.

There are a number of posts/posters/threads that are reproduced on Twitter or Facebook to foment controversy using screen shots & flagging to either MNHQ to have threads or posters deleted. Sometimes, it’s used to approach commissioning editors with ideas for articles. It’s a tiresome tactic that we’ve had several community disruptor posters who themselves post the comments that they then highlight elsewhere as purported evidence of racism, religious intolerance, anti-men sentiments, or transphobia.

Some helpful links in following posts.

Looking for truffles on the Jezebel thread.

The pose is wearing thin. The bait is being increased.

Yep bait and trap in play.

First hogwash I noticed was in one of the toilet threads. Quite shameless baiting.
Possibly young, as there is an imperfect management of tone.

A hogwashing by another name was on the Glinner Crowfunder( deleted) thread too.

youllhavehadyourtea I missed that (not online much at the mo) but from references elsewhere might there have been a truffle beds situation?

Rolling in it, Persifleur

Is it a reference to Caro cooking gammon when the police came round?

Must be. I have to force my eyes to read those posts. They're so incoherent.

Was going to mention the porcine one is tedious

The aim is to make all productive conversation impossible. The best thing to do is talk past: find the most recent constructive comment, quote it and reply.

I wasn't very clever on that thread. Smelt the rat at first post but their manipulation was so good I doubted myself for being too sharp. Will do better.

I provided a link to Miranda Yardley. I was pretty certain the question wasn't genuine but sometimes it's best to act as if. Lurkers, always.

Feminism done wrong is such a tell.

The reaction to the Miranda Yardley link was very telling.

Jesus there's some proper ham fisted attempts to derail going on today. You'd think it'd be more productive to address the actual arguments, but I suppose that'd require some critical thought.

Pigs might fly.

I'm expecting the fake Bunbury to pop up any minute now.

They're too busy trying to stir shit up on the Jeremy Kyle thread. Because trolling on a thread about someone committing suicide is a perfectly sane thing to do.

Can anyone remember the actual user name?

@MNHQ this person has self-identified as a troll, can you please ban their IP if not already done?

It's not news to me that GN isn't Prior, I didn't think it was. Prior is absolutely glued to the thread though.

I initially thought someone else. 🧶 but unlikely.

Who was it showed up on a thread as Princess-something-or-other then after several pages of "that's you, isn't it?" eventually admitted it was?

I don't care who they are. It's just tiresome.

Fermat

The same.
