Hi everybody.


Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

What is a Troll? A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made.

If you should get a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.

what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?

firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the left hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.

The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
Above all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!

It is testament to the work that martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time knowledge and experience freely to others, without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of debt crisis

PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.


Kind wishes
P

Hmmm,
scary things happening on boards tonight - screen keeps whiteing out on me, just wondering if my pc over pink fit & now going white or ... are others having oddities too ?

Horace

Hi Lula - I keep getting oddities - my screen blanks out and I get an http 500 internal server error - it happens on tons of topics on the forum:mad:

Oh and there is a religious nutcase (I mean Spammer) at large tonight - for some unknown reason he/she is on the Shop but Don't Drop Board spouting religious nonsense.

Numpty_Monkey

I think there is a lot of strange happenings on the forum tonight

Numpty_Monkey

See what you mean Horace
I've reported them to abuse
staying away from replying on that thread

fermi

A lot of people (including me) are getting the same errors on the forum.

Not going near SBDD and religion either.....

Looks as though someone's got rid of the spammer on Shop but don't drop :T

Horace

Hi Miggy

The spammer (spam is made from pork) has been posting all over the boards tonight. I have reported him but didnt respond except on one topic to advise people not to respond to him/her.
