Trolls trolling

Puzzler I'm not commenting on the trolls, I'm criticising HQ for their lack of monitoring.

The troll posts are still there after 2 hours and 15 minutes.
It's not acceptable

I didn’t want you to be upset by it, that’s all Fanny.
I think we know moderators are thin on the ground ?
but they do their best to police it considering it is a free site.

the cock one is still there

JaneJudge I see that you have put a print out of a hack.

I was wondering what had been happening as the only message I was receiving was Host Error and I could not access the sight.
I have only been able to get on here now.

Oh thank you Puzzler! I'm really not upset at all
I'm just a bit cross to be honest, that's all.
The thing that will encourage the daft beggars (trolls, not HQ - joke!)
is the fact that they have been so successful. They've had a right laugh and plenty of time in which to have had it.

There's loads still there.

Thanks Fanny - ? for you too. It is mighty annoying but it seems to happen online everywhere ?

What these idiots forget is that most of us were teenagers in the 60s/70s and there is very little we haven't said, heard, seen and done and that if they had just a quarter of our experiences it would blow their minds

Oldwoman I was a teenager in the 80s/90s, so between us the pair of us, I think that we've covered every eventuality! ?

I suspect my adult children think I AM OLD whereas my Mum most probably thinks I'm young

well the person is still posting on the natural painkillers thread. Is this all to do with that odd thread last week?

Age and beauty are relative - I remember sitting in the ground floor office, looking out of the window,seeing a couple of teenagers, and thinking aloud “oh I wish I were their age again” .....my elderly boss looked at me and said “oh I wish I were your age again” - ?

Exactly.
Being thought of as an idiot simply due to my age angers me hugely. Life may not always bring wisdom but it certainly can smell a rat .

Three hours now! It's ridiculous!

Could this be a job for GN posters? Does admin need some of the posters on here on the staff? Perhaps we would have more time available to deal with things. It is irritating to see things there hours after reporting.

Molly mumsnet have volunteers called the Night Watch who 'work' overnight. They are able to hide troll posts.

Thanks FC
OK-so we already have NightOwls who are awake at all hours. Could we be of some use?

Four hours now

If Mumsnet and GN can’t afford to pay their forum moderators then they probably shouldn’t be running a web forum.

Amber I have said this over and over again, I am convinced that this site goes unmonitored on a regular basis for prolonged periods of time.
I wouldn't like to be an advertiser looking at the site today.

Can anyone explain, please, why it should take so long?
(Genuine question, just ignorant of such matters).
I have nipped through the active posts myself and noted the infiltrated posts.
I have noted the common names.
That's a start.
Don't you just then delete them?
?‍♀️

Do people wait to get the newsletter before looking at GN? I don't understand that at all.

Unfortunately this type of thread gets them attention, which is what they’re after.

Maybe if MNHQ didn’t keep losing their advertisers for their support of anti-trans posts, they could afford to hire a moderator for GN...
