I warn you though...I am not cheap ..but may accept wine in lieu of payment...and promise not to engage with said trolls by trying to help them see the error of their ways....honest.

I just don't think that these newer versions of trolls are schoolchildren.
Daleington. How do you know that those of us volunteering are lesbians?

It's a shame they are acting like schoolchildren though. You'd think that gainfully employed folk might grasp they have something to lose by acting like losers.

Like wives, and girlfriends, let alone jobs.

Tis a shame. I am in forrin too, and have spent most of the last month bored to tears of an evening dodging ridiculous spam and a few loons who clearly have something of a god complex (until they get bored). It's nowhere near 2.40am here - how quaintly UK-centric!

I'm sadly not a lesbian. I think it might be quite fun, though. I suspect it would get in the way of the husband and kids.

Well, I am going out to try to hammer the message home that trees do not have hearts. There is something getting lost in my living versus dead topic ATM

We NEED night moderators. This isn't fair to posters from overseas, and it is t fair on those people who need after hours help.

I think you need to increase night staffing levels, HQ.

I'm in Oz, and according to DH I'm on here all the time Grin, so if you are looking for night moderators count me in.

Thanks it is something we're thinking about as it happens. We do have staff in different time zones (Tech in US) but he's a lazy bugger not always about, so we will certainly give it some thought seeing that this type of night-time invasion is becoming more common. It will most likely be a volunteer role and more than one but we could look into some kind of reward in gin/wine etc
Will come back to you with a plan/further thoughts.

Justine Grin at volunteer role! Very big society. Maybe you could apply to Iain Duncan Smith for one of those workfare people? Wink

I think they are probably all reeling with exhaustion from last night's shenanigans, HotCrossCatPuss.

How Long does it take to think about something so simple ? People have been asking about this for ages.

Given that Mumsnet is a great source of support for a lot of people surely nighttime is quite important that it not be clogged up with trolls and spammers? Anyone would think this was just some kind of money making venture which doesn't care about its posters....

Is the fact that people have been asking about this for a while perhaps connected to the recent increase in nighttime invasions?

SDT I started a thread about this after the christmas break invasion. That was nearly 3 months ago.
