    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


    Welcome to the debt free wannabe board. A great place for seeking advice and inspiration and support on getting out of debt. Please read the above in case you come across one the very few trolls or more frequent spammers that come our way.

    If you find this thread has dropped off page 1 then please do join in and 'bump' us back to the top. :D

    Good evening all, just having a swoop round the forums to see what's going on. Sodding microwave blew up this evening, just in time for payday - law of Sod or what? OH has spoken to a firm of repairers who have promised to ring him back tomorrow and discuss costs. Fingers crossed it will be something simple as I was hoping to get my car window motor done this month (have been intending to get it done for a while, but something else always crops up that needs money throwing at it!) - must get it done before the summer heatwave starts or else we will have fried Nargle on the roads......

    Get back to the top you crafty little thread! The slanging match going on in the Old Style forum (So long and thanks...)shows no sign of stopping, I suppose a few trolls might join in overnight -at least it will keep them out of mischief. Good night all, catch you again maybe tomorrow.

    A goodnight bump.

    I think you should definitely blame the volcano for the exploding microwaves.
