Redfox, whilst I am not the person doing the reporting I would ask you to please consider that not everyone agrees with the above post. This thread is basically for glitches and helping people save money whilst shopping. It really doesn't help to have to wade through long boring self-interested mnologues and meaningless drivel. I personally must thank you for removing said posts.

If that's what you think then you are on the wrong thread. This one is about baked potatoes

*sigh*

I try not to post on this subject as it can bring the thread down and goes against the principle of dftt which I support, but ....

Fairclaire, very very sad that you are the next target for the troll. It feels personal, it is incredibly frustrating and it is grossly unfair. This has been plaguing the thread for years and we have lost some very very good people as a result. PPRs, bans - troll wins. Wont mention any names of pprd folk here as one of our number will immediately report the post and get it removed (which may happen anyway). Folk just leaving or not posting because (understandably) they have had enough - troll wins. Or people change their posting style - troll wins. Number of reports going to the forum team increases significantly - troll wins. Someone said the other day that they didnt understand why peeps lurk/don't log in - I totally understand.

Troll's long term aim seems to be to get the thread closed down. No idea why, simply cannot comprehend it, but they are prepared to spend A LOT of time and effort trying to achieve it.

MSE forum team works on the basis that they have limited resources and that those they have will be focused on core site activity, ie moneysaving - can't really argue with that. Dealing with forum reports and spats takes up a lot of time and if it becomes disproportionate, they don't have time/resource to look at the reasons behind it, they will simply remove the poster at the source the trouble or close the thread down. This is clearly stated in their rules, the troll is very aware of how the system works, and we have had this quoted to us by mse towers on a number of occasions. I am pretty sure this is all outside RF's remit.

I can't suggest to anyone being targeted how to respond - there is no good solution. But a seemingly impossible balance needs to be found between meeting ones own personal needs/agenda, being mindful of the needs of our whole community, and respecting the platform we use and the rules under which it is made available to us. I have been stalked for some time now and chose to change my posting style to minimise forum reports - troll wins. As you are sadly aware, the troll will take this off forum into RL, so I now also choose to post as little as possible about my personal life and am very very careful about who has access to what information in RL - troll wins. I totally take my hat off to a couple of other long standing posters who I know have worked towards a much better balance than me.

Best results seem to be achieved by working with the Forum Team and following their advice, however unjust and unfair it all may seem.

We have been filling recent threads with a disproportionate number of posts on this subject - troll wins . The overarching message is Do Not Feed the Troll.

Sorry for the long post

Fairclaire, I hope you find a good route through - if anyone can, you can. Please if possible avoid incurring PPR - you need this thread and the thread needs you.

Well all I can say is Im disappointed. I question why the forum team can see that hundreds of people read posts and don't feel the need to report them, yet when one person does they take the sort of heavy handed action they have against me......and as you say, others in the past.

If the troll wins then it's because they are allowed to.

As for it spilling over into real life, Id dare anyone to try interfering in my real life. I won't and wouldn't put up with it and would squash it in the same way ive squashed every other obstacle that gets in my way. I've been through far too much to let some faceless bully bring me down.

Im off to get on with real life now :wave:

If you think that this thread Is basically for glitches and helping people save money then you are on the wrong thread and I suggest hukd for that.
This thread is so much more than that and if you haven't figured that out by now then you never will.

I agree. But it is how it happens. I had a different person reporting me time and time again for my posts, they were legitimate moneysaving posts that would save lots of people a fair bit on their shopping, he just didn't like to see that style of shopping posted on the forum. The posts got removed again and again - don't think they are even read by the team if they are v busy. It was all totally unnecessary but I did change my posting style as a result
