  • Everyone on here has an email address, the office back room whatever, have frankies email. This can then be traced to a server and register?

    I dunno if it can be traced to a server/register. BUT most people have an internet trail so her email addy being googled may lead us towards other profiles, or not. Again, not us of course.

    Should we email the abuse email address maybe? I don't know what we can do

    i might look again through her posts when i get home and see if i can find other stuff to help us trace her
    A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:

    Look at post #84 guys. I think your being wound up. I apologise if i'm wrong but if i'm right then Frankiesgirl will emerge after reading my post, yes?? :confused:

    kimberley - I think most of us are aware it could be wind-up, but until we know for certain I for one will treat it as genuine. in meantime will do all I can to make contact. and if it is a wind-up and we find that out - then the person still needs help i think.

    Yeah ok, I just had to say something because of all the worrying and fretting going on.

    whether there is any element of a wind up here or not, it is an odd first post...

    May be 100% kosher, but I am not sure we can rely on someone who has only ever posted here once to have contacted the 'help desk' about an issue which is worrying people - does anyone know what the 'help desk' is?

    If people are concerned, I think we should act and ignore that post, as we cannot know if its genuine.. I think emailing the abuse team or a board guide may be the best way to make contact with the website team and see if they can contact frankiegirl directly... does someone want to do that?

    I agree that it does seem a bit odd. However, suicidal people have posted on MSE in the past and the team have been alerted and done what they could. Which in a case I know about was quite a lot.
