    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

    Hello everyone,
    Numpty - thanks for the info, know how to do that now (I'm a bit of a techno-numpty :confused:- sorry for borrowing your name!).

    MF - hope you're going to maintain that standard on future posts??:D

    Horace - glad the chicken was OK but not sure about the locking your doors to prevent strangers arriving - that's not very nice!!!!!
    Love the band - if you get any free tickets for their gigs can I come along???:j:j

    Anyway, back to top of page 1, hope it stays that way until morning when Numtpy's back again.

    Night all

    The day it is dawning
    Guess what - I'm yawning

    So don't mind admitting
    It's kinda hard articulating

    Two words - Good Morning!

    Morning All
    Apologies for being AWOL from bumping this weekend. I'd like to say its because I was out doing exciting and varied things but that would not pass any lie detector test.

    I suspect Numpty might be scared of the dark and thats why he is up so early:p

    Numpty your sleep habits would work well with being a postman (I hear there are temporary jobs going), a milkman or a baker (I admit the baker bit might be a bit of a stretch with your current cooking experience:rotfl:).

    We can't get on youtube at work - its a banned site -so will check out the vid later from home. Wonder what I'll do if they ever make MSE a banned site :confused:
    A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give
