    Good evening one and all. Evening meal done, clearing up done, chickens tucked up in their beds with their hot water bottles and mugs of Horlicks, offspring showered and ready for bed, caffeine infusion in a mug beside me, OH finally off the computer (from blowing up submarines) and watching TV so can finally get on here and say HELLO!!!

    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
    I've 14 in my week:D, 13 are Sunday:eek::p:p

    Hmmm can I do a switch? - I don't seem to be having a Saturday or Sunday this week :rolleyes:
    Well I suppose the only way I'll know that they are not real weekdays is I won't be paid for them.

    Is blowing up submarines as addictive as MSE I wonder? Caffeine at 7pm NB?:eek: - you'll be struggling to sleep later. Still you can always pop on in the wee small hours to see Ange and Numpty!
