Trolls trolling

In general or just on this thread? I am not meaning to upset anyone.

Janejudge what on earth are you meaning ?
I HAVE NEVER DEFENDED ANY NASTY OR SEXUAL POSTS
Why are you keeping saying this what the heck are you reading ?
What nasty comments have I made?
Stop accusing me of something I ve never done I m really getting upset by you

I haven't been sitting behind my screen all day either, I've popped in and out as I've had to work and drive and do all sorts of stuff like being someone's support bubble.

I think we are all going mad

what on earth is wrong with you both?

I don't want to read posts about deep throating, I don't suppose you do either. So why not keep your nasty comments for people who deserve it? I've really had enough of this.

Don't do that BlueBelle your posts are always sensible and to the point. Our opinions are no less valid than those of other posters on here.

I m not defending Trolls for Crying out loud !!! Oh my goodness
I ve always called out racists posts sexists posts etc
You obviously don’t ever read my posts I would never stand for anything that was in the least bit shady

I was reading how you had all been waiting 4 or 5 hours for HQ to make a move and I was suggesting if a thread was started about it HQ would soon be on the job
Thread about a thread and all that they usually get removed immediately
Note to self ........Keep mouth shut in future

Can't be bothered with such stupidity. Why are 'you pair' giving them so much oxygen.

Any interaction with malicious posters makes it worse. Ignore them, report them. Don't engage. Its not rocket science.

I don't think GNHQ are sitting there, fingers at the ready, to delete every post that we report. There were so many this morning that they probably had to do a bulk delete of all posts by a certain couple of posters, to make sure they got them all. Which probably takes time and may explain the site going down a couple of times.

loads of people reported them though or said their names, I don't think you saw what was posted some of it was really crude

I cant even type what I was going to, I don't think you saw it

What did I say wrong with suggesting naming them then Janejudge
I don’t understand what I ve said wrong ???
I m not defending Ttolls why would you think I was ?
I was suggesting revealing them to get the moderators on the job quicker

erm they were actual trolls with new names?? what's up with you pair?
they were making racist, sexist and sexual posts all over the shop

Unnecessary comment there FannyCornforth

What’s that mean Fanny ? Perhaps you can educate me then

Perhaps we need a thread of naming the rude trolls NOT posts that we might think a bit dubious but the real rude ones then I can bet you HQ will soon act and get rid of them if they start being named instead of pussyfooting around them

I missed most this morning bu5 I get the drift

I don't think that you get 'the drift' at all BlueBelle

JaneJudge I think you give the trolls too much credit by referring to them as men. They strike me as silly wee boys who are enthralled with their bits and think dirty talk is funny. I've taught many such over the years and they're very boring and predictable.

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...

Really? Can you link me up to where you got this info please?

JaneJudge I wanted to say that the poster must mean down, not up, unless they did it standing on their head - but I didn't wish to encourage the T.

I don't think they'd had biology lessons, I think they thought the front downstairs end connected to further up
So a man?

Hello lemongrove
Yes, they were of the most unpalatable variety, and they were allowed to stand for over four hours.
The GN newsletter linked to several of the threads where the trolls were having a gay old time.
Just proving that 'GNHQ' don't read their own site.

The trolling posts on the ‘What did you do today ‘ thread were rather ‘different’ weren’t they??Were they on every thread?
I just thought looking at the title of this thread, that somebody
( where are you Phoenix?) could do an Internet forum version of The twelve days of Christmas, ten trolls a trolling etc.

Surely one has 'apply' to Gransnet before one can post? (Read --no, contribute-yes). So posts here are not spontaneous, unless these user names have been previously registered?

In which case, there might well be a whole list of dodgy posters ready to pounce?As in "who shall we be today?".

Is that the case?

Me too + a mass response. Obviously, people are reporting.

Just received multiple thanks for multiple reports and the posters are banned.

I will most probably get a warning
