    Well done Lula - another NSD:j

    I had best go and get some lunch (homemade quiche) and then I will come back and follow a troll around the boards - it is someone who makes inflammatory comments (PolishBigSpender is his name), he was active last night and is online again today.

    Can I ask why you are following me around the boards? It's slightly obsessive and disturbing, particularly as I have no idea who you are.
    From Poland...with love.

    987987-01.gif We are always delighted to have new bodies - so you are very welcome Teapartymum. It's gonna be a bit quiet on here for few days until some of the other regulars come back from Xmas knees-ups.

    Unless it all kicks off :eek: between Horace and her erstwhile stalker/stalkee:rotfl: . This is normally a very genteel board - honest.

    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

    I think it's about time we had another of these ^. thanks for cheerypics Nomad, how's that body by the way, ready for public viewing yet ? :D

    It is because you are a TROLL! We don't like trolls and to be honest all your postings are rude and inflammatory especially when vulnerable people are asking for advice.

    You can shout at me all you want for I have dared to use capitals within my posting but you cannot really complain about my level of English nor my spelling because I have a degree and I use a lexicon.:p
