    Nah, not you - but did you notice something really "spooky" and unique just before you hit the 10k :confused:

    Most of the attention last night focused on a Troll - but I noticed something related to Numpty as the total closed on 10000 - maybe it's not spooky as such but I would bet it is unique - yep, Numpty, we know you are :D, but even you could not have planned this.

    What, I hear you ask?

    Well hitting 10,000 is a matter of posting till you get there - under your total control - yes?

    But how many thanks you gain on the way isn't.

    Nor is how many posts are thanked - so there can be no controlled relation between how many posts you have and how many of those posts have been thanked.

    But last night there was for you Numpty - there was a mirror image - and I thought it was worth while putting on the record, 'cos I doubt if it happens that often - in fact I think it could well be a unique event.

    Look for the unique mirror image on the numbers last night - it ain't that hard to spot.

    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

    Weird and spooky ... sounds like Halloween - so for some Halloween horror on the dark side, I can offer "one I prepared earlier" ...
