    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

    The important message above is worth reading. Don't let the trolls put you off getting advice and joining in.

    Actually I am a bit of a biter, and not just when it comes to trolls :D:p

    Come on lets push you back to the beginning. Why isn't this a sticky?

    Because, bizarrely, newbies (and a lot of oldies as well, sorry to use the 'o' word, niddy:rotfl:) don't read the stickies confused-smiley-17432.gif

    Bumping this thread back to the top all day (as we dedicated trollbusters do:)) brings it to everyone's attention - just look at the amount of views it gets - although it could, of course, be the slightly bizarre conversations we have on here that attract the attention. You can come and join us if you like, Butti :)

    Anyway, good evening all, hope everyone, except the trolls, has had a good Sunday, hope the mothers amongst us have been treated well by their offspring and that the trolls have found a chainsaw to play with:D

    Numpty - good luck with school tomorrow.
    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)

    Anyway I've changed my mind, I'm too young for you;)
