Moxie Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I was helping a friend move today and now the thread is gone. Was she a troll or did the thread go south?? I miss all the fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I was wondering what happened, as well. Did she post something particularly trollish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 You can probably assume that the moderators know something you don't with regard to location, IP numbers, etc. I've seen plenty of people deleted within their first few posts on the board, even when they don't seem trollish. I think I see it more often because my time zone is so far off of most of the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Might ought to contact a moderator. We had a thread go missing on the Gen Ed board earlier this week and it turned out to be a software glitch. Nothing wild at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maize Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Looks like the account was removed, I checked another thread she had posted on and the post is completely gone. I'm assuming troll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 If you want new friends, you can welcome new people on the Introductions subforum. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Probably a troll or they started spamming, I was a bit dubious after the picture they posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrairieSong Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Wasn't that the person who was asking where the most active part of the forums was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 What picture? Well, let's just say that she might have been shopping for bOOkshelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 This has brought an interesting thought to my head. If for one day everyone changed names and icons and started a thread where we only posted three pieces of information that we have revealed on these boards before, would we be able to identify each other (and no cheating by checking old content)? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolatechip Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Wasn't that the person who was asking where the most active part of the forums was? Yeah. That was another really weird part about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idnib Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 What picture? She had a deep v-neck. She had huge...tracts of land. (Apologies if you're not a Monty Python fan.) My first thought was about the copyright on the picture and whether it was okay to post. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I was just bothered that she asked for info on how to use Photobucket to post a photo and then just TOTALLY blew off my step-by-step instructions, uploading the photo via the attachment method instead (all the while thanking me for my advice!). What is wrong with people???!!! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessMommy Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Dang. I posted my joke about tracts of land before seeing you made the same joke. :( it's okay...it was still funny the 2nd time around. I think she was suspicious right from the start. We asked her about her family and homeschooling and her reply was to ask which sub-forum was the busiest and how to post pictures. And then there was the bOOks photo. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz CA Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Probably a troll or they started spamming, I was a bit dubious after the picture they posted.

I used to be a frequent flyer on the High School board only when the boards looked very different. One day, I decided to venture over the "General Board" as it was called. I found people discussing casseroles (not much has changed!) and asked for a recipe. Someone called ME a troll. I don't think we had post counts then so it may not have been obvious that I had a few posts under my belt. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before we know it you'll be asking for more recipes, maybe even recipes for cupcakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
