    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

    Is that 3days in a row Rog? - Asda are really spoiling you!

    I have seen Spammers around but I just click that lovely Spam button unless they get too prolific -then I'm still sending their user profile to abuse.

    I ventured away from DFW and saw what we would call trolls - but they seemed to be getting put in their place by plently of people. But DFW is best.

    :shhh: :shhh: :shhh: It's actually my fourth day in a row, Tixy but I'm sure that it won't last - ASDA appear to be relentlessly pursuing a 'wage reduction' policy at the moment. :rolleyes:

    I picked up my last month's payslip, yesterday - £209.00 :eek: :eek:

    Their 'policy' appears to be working. :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I actually have a soft spot for trolls - it's called a swamp.
