    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 post if you feel you need help and advice. Most of us genuinely care and would like to help. Only a small minority are trolls - see above - try to ignore them and don't take it personally.
    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)

    Well I thought I'd quickly upload my clothes swap piccies onto www.bigwardrobe.com, ...and I thought I had done it quickly, but it appears a couple of hours have passed me by! :cool:

    Well, there's a tedious way to stop my "monkey-mind" (Sorry Numpty, that's yoga speak for wandering and intrusive thoughts when you're trying not to worry and be calm, not me being a numpty - for a change), I never noticed. Must have been concentrating real hard - I hopethe numbskulls on the hamster wheel never woke any-one up!

    I hope you're having a troll-free night Niddy. Catch you all in later in the day :D

    Morning fellow TROLLZappers :j

    Night Watchman Report - Daaaaaay Threeeeee (imagine Marcus Bently, BB voiceover)!

    Well, been a surprisingly quiet night on troll-patrol (unfortunately).... I was really looking forward to getting the Fermi-Nator out of his [STRIKE]pen[/STRIKE] bed to [STRIKE]catch[/STRIKE] sort the slipperly little troll weasels.....

    Alas, cannot happen this [STRIKE]sunny[/STRIKE] night unfortunately :(

    So, as at 04.15am there is nothing to report other than idle gossip about two frogs outside my work, they were either giving each other a piggy-back or up to no good, one wonders what, and how, a frog spawns :whistle:

    Will be here til 06:00 afterwhich the day TROLLZappers will take the reins (Numpty!) :T
