I've just reported him. He's a horrid little troll. Let's hope he gets PPR'd before long.

Thanks Hayley

I use webmail and not outlook,
If i want to report a post I click on the report Icon ,
copy the subject line go to my web mail I have [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL] as a contact and compose a new email and send it, seems to work for me;)

I've just done a search and seen some of the threads where he has posted. His posts have been deleted and hopefully he is now banned - probably only to re-register and spout more venom. :rolleyes:,

However I do wish people did not quote offensive/objectionable posts as they remain in the quote where the often vulnerable OP and others keep seeing them. Just my 2p worth.

Ahh you do have a very good point there Q. I've quoted him in a post, i'll go delete his horrid message

you could put karma in like your thanks link but instead of thanks you could use no thanks, i did this on an industry forum i ran as they were all so !!!!!y, those that reached 5 points got banned for a day, regular offenders banned forever i found after the 2nd days banning they became nice.,..

The problem is.... the trolls would 'karma' the helpful MSE'rs and they'd forever be being suspended! :cool:

Only the other day a newbie posted an insurance enquiry in here, the Feedback Board. I replied advising them to post the question again in the right board, and provided a link for it, wishing good luck. It took all of 2 minutes and I can't imagine why anyone would be rude to them.

Then again, there ARE rude people around, and there's no place like the internet that affords angry peeps the chance to take it out on others. Or they just have no manners. My 2p worth anyway.

Q for Prime Minister! She talks the same level of sense as my mother-in-law (MIL), which is loads.

But, in my MIL's case, if only I could understand what she was saying

I'd like to think I try to do the same as Q.

i jsut sent an email to abuse mentiong the offenders action s in the one thread but hes made 27 posts in different threads which means we have to report each one i take it

If my memory serves me correctly, and you'll have to forgive me if it doesn't, but if you click on the user name in this guy's posts, and go to his user profile, I think you can find all posts by him, and then send a link to that to admin so they can see all of them?

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. (My wife does it all the time )

I think it was Confucius who said: He who asks is a fool for 5 minutes - he who never asks is a fool forever.

And, what about there's no such thing as a stupid question.
