Troll hunting

I have been told off for troll hunting to which I hold my hands up- though I wasn't hunting, I'd found one!!

Shouldn't GNHQ be troll hunting for us. Those of us that have been here a while will be instinctively aware of malicious posters generally and can report (as I was told to) but how long does it take hq to look into something and what harm can be done to unsuspecting members in the interim?

Do I have to perform Magic Tricks?
Isn't that the Inner Circle?

Jalima1108 Wed 19-Dec-18 22:42:17

ah no - that's the Magic Circle
tchblush

Jalima DON' T (Shouty capitals) give up now!!!

If we all get in the inner circle, there will be no outer circle.

Squiffy tchshock

IN - and shuffling round to make room for everyone else

There once was a merry Gransnetter,
Who always assumed she was IN
She then heard them shout
No! You're definitely OUT
So she drowned all her sorrows in GIN! grin

...and I've none left! Hic...........?

I’ll come in just to “turn around coz that’s what it’s all about”.
Unless of course I’ve made up my own version ?

The gin, it really worked wonders
But led to a fit of the chunders
She started to sway
Her legs then gave way
And into the sanctum she blunders.

Marydoll Wed 19-Dec-18 23:26:12

The Sanctum was blocked
So the Inners were shocked
As she blundered there in
With a mouth full of gin
Despite the way in being blocked

Marydoll Wed 19-Dec-18 23:29:30

Despite the way in being LOCKED! ?

I was always told not to take sweeties off strange men..

I forgot, that even as though I am a newbie, this problem hasn’t just occurred recently. It will have been going on some time, perhaps unnoticed.

Tolls should read Trolls

I noticed a post by you on another thread, holding, which sounded perspicacious. I was wondering myself about that thread.

It gets very tricky if you are suggesting we have to consider that a t****could be posting "Was that a t****l?", and that we should wonder whether you are fibbing when you agree with us that we were right about the beasties being around, in spite of being so cross earlier with those who questioning your own posts, though.

It is getting late. Time to rest the leetle grey cells.

Well, that has me really confused.

Marydoll Sun 23-Dec-18 08:06:24

I have spent hours looking at Threads and looking up the posters history, and After doing my research : holdingontometeeth, I find it a little unnnerving, that someone is apparently building profiles on posters, allbeit with the best of intentions....I hope.
Or have I misunderstood?

aggie Sun 23-Dec-18 08:16:58

as they say here , don't go looking for trouble , trouble finds you

Chewbacca Sun 23-Dec-18 08:22:43

This whole subject has become weirder and weirder.....

oldbatty Sun 23-Dec-18 08:28:20

I suppose since holding seems to have done some research perhaps HQ and holding should work together to get rid of this creep and put better security in place?

lemongrove Sun 23-Dec-18 09:17:22

holdingonto ......haven’t you got anything better to do?
Spreading paranoia, is that what you enjoy?

kittylester Sun 23-Dec-18 09:20:25

batty, which creep? I have no idea what is going on!

RachellaGransnet (GNHQ) Sun 23-Dec-18 09:20:30

Just a quick note to assure you that at GNHQ we do, indeed, investigate all reports sent to us by our members, so many thanks to those of you who report posts that may be dubious.

In the interest of free speech and open discussion, we don't delete all posts that have been reported but we do delete those that go against our guidelines.

We just ask that you report any suspicious posts directly to us and not discuss them in the threads.

I have spent hours looking at Threads and looking up the posters history

Does anybody else remember a member who I think may have been banned after compiling what sounded like a dossier on Gransnetters and who may, or may not have been responsible for a very underhand action?

There must be better ways of spending hours
