    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

    And new page so we'll have one of these as well.

    Hello:hello::hello: to all newbies - watch out for the trolls.

    Good afternoon everybody :hello: :hello: :hello:

    After a bitterly cold and soaking wet Sunday of 'trundling', I am taking it easy today. ;);)

    I still don't have my new safety shoes :mad: :mad: - my foot was 'squelching' yesterday - so I asked in the 'personnel' office, only to be told that they didn't know when the next batch of safety shoes are going to arrive. They told me that I could buy a pair and that they would reimburse me, but were unwilling to put this in writing. :rolleyes: I told them that, as I do not have the financial 'wherewithal' to go and 'buy' a pair on the off chance that I may see my money back, I had no alternative other than to wait, although I will be making an official complaint, on Health & Safety grounds, via my line manager. :huh: :huh: :huh:

    Water off a Duck's back, to ASDA, but it made me feel better. :o:o

    I will, however, become a bit less 'available' during this wet weather. ;)

    Moan over - have a great day everyone (except the Trolls) :wave: :wave:
