    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 right 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

    time for this

    Afternoon all...I know its not really the afternoon, it just feels like it as I have returned from a breakfast meeting which was interesting to say the least - now then do I join BNI in the hope that i eventually get some referrals?:confused:

    Good morning all, a wet day today so good excuse for 5mgs caffeine powder dissolved in 250mls boiling H2O and 15mls lactose solution added. Wonder what the chemical formula for hob nobs is?

    Is it an established group Horace or a new group? My knowledge/ experience/ hearsay of BNI is that many new groups start but fail to ever get enough members to properly get off the ground. A colleague of mine spent about 18months in a new starter group with them desperatley trying to recruit new members to start properly networking. In the end it disbanded. That said this was only in a market town and your area is perhaps significantly busier.
    If its a well established group then you won't have those issues.
