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

morning clio - that was an early one
happy tuesday all .....
missing Numpty already0 -
Lula what you doing today, why has Numpty went offline from here??0
-
A "Morning all" bump.
Only a guess but maybe Numpty just needs a bit of a break to settle his mind after the redundancy. For sure he knows he has real friends here - and that his friends are here for him. It's a reflection of the friend he has been to many on these boards.
Good things do happen despite the problems we may each encounter and having true friends is beyond value in the good times but especially in the bad times.If many little people, in many little places, do many little things,
they can change the face of the world.

Its nearly afternoon and I have returned from standing outside local college getting signatures on a petition - it was thoroughly depressing to see and listen to the yoof of today:rolleyes: Bus broke down and I was late arriving at the college too which didnt help - I walked about a mile and a half to the college as I couldnt be bothered to wait for another bus:rolleyes: Got a lift back though which has helped.
I think Numpty needs to lick his wounds for a while but feel sure that he will be back.0 -
Hello again all,
you are a wise one MF :A ,
clio - I've been pounding the streets this morning & have a therapy session this afternoon, followed by some regular work & a trip to the library , feeling exhausted just thinking about it.
Cant wait to quit the street pounding, it's exacerbated some old sporting injuries
Horace, I also hope Numpty will return when feeling more positive about stuff, just in case he's listening :
I miss you
lula
xx
clio - you now have to fulfil all my needs :eek: :rotfl:
