Fabricated posts…..why?

JaneJudge - love that expression! Mine is that ‘I’ll bare my a*se in Fenwicks’s window!’

Honestly, I think they are deeply unhappy and would probably unravel if simply treated with kindness.

I think it's a shame that many probably genuine threads are being dismissed and filled with unkindness as a result of paranoia

And another one this morning. If an unknown user starts a post with ‘I’m not a troll’ they almost certainly are!

All I can say is, if they ARE fetishes, they have a very wide range of interests!

My money is still on teenagers. They're so lacking in scope for their ideas.

I got caught this morning *Blossoming",to my chagrin. They seem to proliferate, don't they?

Has today’s been removed?
The last one I spotted was the 14 year old, plus the over/keen man friend one which had at least three incarnations until GN admitted it was a hoax and sent the person packing.

They aren’t always easy to spot.
Some posters tales of the way they are treated and what they are prepared to put up with from their partners or grown up so often seem children seem completely unbelievable to me.

Someone might then also express doubts only to be told that the original poster has been a member for a while, so the story was genuine.

I wondered about the Countess who expected gifts for doing a favour. A bit on the twinset and pearls side (apologies to anyone so clad). Anyway she thought posters were ‘abominably rude’ and said she wasn’t coming back.

At the risk of sounding totally paranoid, did anyone else wonder about the woman who could afford to give £100k to each of her four adult children but they were all totally different and some might squander it?

It was deleted very quickly JenniferEccles. * Grandmabatty* the poo troll is a frequent Mumsnet subject.

I was a bit It felt like it was one of those mental arithmetic exam papers where you have to keep factoring in different anomalies before you get to the right answer!
I don't really care about those kind of trolls tbh; the ones that anger me beyond reason are where they include children and sex. That just crosses a line for me

Absolutely, Chewbacca

Definitely not teens gagajo they are to busy tiktoking or snap chatting to come on here It’s not even cool to go on FB

I agree about that one feeling like an exam Chew. The ones involving children and sex are sick. The rest just waste people’s time and prey on their willingness to help and advise.

The obvious wind-ups and the fetishists are usually spotted and got rid of - they don't bother me so much.

However, the story-telling that pulls in members who have the best of intentions and are trying to help - gives me the creeps that you can be conversing with fantasists, who are IMO definitely not teenagers.
