Notice to newcomers - part 4

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

Don't give up Wol - remember even if the new poster doesn't want to take advice (or as in this case seems to be so defensive they are impossible to help) there are always plenty of people lurking and taking advice - any particular post could be read by someone who it helps so much that it triggers their LBM or saves them from a destructive course of action.

It is worth it!

On a completely different notw - I've just heard I've have some new 2legged feathery members of the family - at least 3!

You need one of those high-pitched mosquito alarm things - or take a radio out and blast classical music out at the chavs - that might move them on.
