    BUMP. There is nobody to play with on page 2, stick with the popular threads on page 1.

    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

    A feeling this post might be needed today:o

    Hi emily :hello: :hello: - long time no see - hope you, and your husband, are well.
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

  • You should all give yourselves a clap on the backs. My brother's just been taken to hospital because of goading, bullying, harassment from some on this thread. But I shouldn't for one second any of you would even admit to doing any wrong. Too easy. You attack and label people very cruelly yet are as bad as the people you label incorrectly.

    So, just to say, hope some of you are satisfied with all the goading and where it's now led.

    Seems you don't return loyalty, bite the hand that helps you first sign of any trouble.
    And that people who supported you in the past quickly get forgotten when a gang gathers and people just start laying into someone without fully appreciating the person behind the persecution, nor what actually may be going on. No, you just lay right in, fists flying and people get hurt.

    You really have no idea what you have done to a very kind, very generous human being. Nor would I imagine you even have the conscience to even consider how wrong your actions are.

    So consider these things (if you have the faculties) before you start labelling people incorrectly. Too much to ask, though.
    On a scale of 0-10 how fairly do you treat people ...

    Cartiphilius - I hope you are not pointing the finger at those that report trolls? If a troll persistently posts and causes trouble then yes we will do something about it and report it so that it gets barred.

    I cannot remember goading, bullying or harassing anyone other than a troll and trolls have been few and far between lately.

    As for your brother being taken to hospital - there must have been underlying reasons for that because I don't believe that someone has put him there purely from making comments on a forum such as this.
