Gatecrashers.

Is it just me or are there more than usual of the number of posters on here coming on just to poke fun, make nasty comments and put in their worthless two pence worth!

What is going on? It is the run up to xmas and all some seem to be capable of is being nasty and mean.

You are all welcome with constructive advice for the OP's on here but it seems they are just coming on to make themselves feel better that they are not in situations like the ones on this board.

Gets a bit annoying :mad:

and also very upsetting for the OP's who are genuinely looking for some help and advice. And I can't think of a worse time to find yourself in need of help and only meet with abuse and ridicule.

rant over. :o

  • one mans critical advice can be anothers nastiness

    it all depends if harsh words are taken as offensive

    yes but people don't always have to say things so harshly, i am not for sugar coating the truth but when it is just pure spite coming across, it's horrible!

  • yeah ive noticed alot of people gatecrashing aswell. i know some people have no consept of how people end up in these positions. most through no fault of their own but either way how people get to the stage that br is their only option should not have their noses rubbed in it like a naughty dog thats widdled on the floor. whats done is done you cant change how it got to this stage all you can do is advise people on how to help the situation. alot of people on here have gone through months/years of torment over the debts and finally found the courage to ask for help and you spiteful people try to make them feel worse than they already do

    people make mistakes. thats what life is about you experience things and go through situations and learn by them. telling them off for over spending or however they got into their situation is just cruel

    this forum has really helped me and i hope that i have helped others even if its just realising you are not alone and the help advice and friendly banter is here when you need it

    there thats my rant over

  • I'm personally getting fed up of the self righteous amongst us! People in this present climate, really should not be judging. No jobs are safe at present, people are been made redundant left right and centre, so how do you pay the bills and mortgage?? All it takes is one slip and that can happen to any one of us.

  • I wouldn't worry about them. It happens from time to time on here. The best thing to do is ignore and don't respond to them and report abusive posts to abuse. If needs be a quick PM to the OP to explain to them helps as well. Also bumping the trolls thread helps.

    If you ignore them and don't reply to them then they get bored and go away. There is a great saying 'DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS'
