    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


    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

    Hi Tixy - getting carried away this morning - two reminders?
    Hope you're OK.

    Hi 3Dogs, fingers crossed for DH and the appointment

    Hi niddy - someone has to do the nightshift while you and Numpty are getting your beauty sleep:D:D

    Hope everyone else is well on this beautiful day:):)
    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)

    Hi Spoon

    I was logged on via the mobile which I find a bit useless to use on forums (but I was stuck in traffic so thought I'd do something useful!)

    I'm well today thank you, enjoying the sun coming in through the office window - how are you?

    Hi all - yes Spoon, thanks or asking - we are now back home with good news at the hospital - DH had a cancer removed from his bladder in December 2007 - he was lucky and it was caught in time but he has the worry of checks for 5 years to make sure it has not come back - he was on 3 month, currently 6 months and will now go on 12 month reviews so he does not go again until April 2011 - his specialist was delighted when he lost all that weight and very happy with his progress. It was more of a worry this time as he had blood in his mouth in the morning ll last week and went straight to the docs as he was advised if he had anything like this and was 'put on antibiotics and see what it is like in a week' but this is what he was told in 2007 when he was passing blood so it worried us. Doc thought it was draining from his nasal passages when asleep. I has eased so we have our fingers crossed. It really changes your outlook on life all this cancer lark - as HappyHaddock says it puts your debts in perspective :)

    Still a gorgeous day here - hope everyone is having the same weather :D:D

    3dogs, I hope everything is ok. It must be quite frightening to wake up with blood in your mouth most mornings!

    Morning everyone.......

    Seems the blokes are the early risers on here eh? Womans prerogative to sleep-in I presume ;)

    Have a nice day in the sun, in York right now it is getting hotter :cool:

    Absolutely Niddy! But then we are the ones doing all the hard work... :rotfl:

    And just what were you doing taking the sun away from us here in Glasgow! It's far too cloudy for my liking!

    BUMP off to lunch.

    I am surprised that they (at MSE towers) haven't disabled the remove your thanks option - they always have done after past upgrades.
