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

Afternoon all - accountant did not turn up, she got the date wrong in her diary..sigh. Made a huge booboo with the bank and went £69 over my overdraft limit of £500:eek: all sorted now though as I shifted more money around...Need to get money out for cab fares to/from the airport...it will cost me about £50 altogether:eek:

Hope you get on ok with your course Numpty. Saw an advert on the tv earlier for a new programme on BBC2 (I think it was that channel) starting at 9pm on Tuesday - this time about Celebrities on the dole and how they have to live on dole money as if the whole business of being unemployed was a joke:mad:

The mods on DFW are wierd anyway and even moved the self employed thread from DFW to the diary section where no-one can find it..thankfully those in the know look for me and find it that way..no one has been able to give us a reason as to why it was moved..big sigh (I would have used a rolleyes smilie here but that has been banned).

Oh dear to accountant, overdraft and cab fares, Horace...

I have no idea how TV execs think getting Z-rated celebs to live on dole money could possibly constitute entertainment - think Channel 4 have just done something similar with MPs..... Would be more like it to actually do something constructive about unemployment in this country... or is that too radical an idea to contemplate? (sorry, getting off my soapbox now).

Had no idea there was a self-employed thread on here, Horace, might go and have a look if you don't mind someone else joining in?
