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.

Please join in and bump Fred to page one if he is found lost and wandering on page 2 or 'horror of horrors' page 3 :rotfl:

Thanks BL - you are welcome to BUMP anytime and you're quote worked just fine and dandy :hello:

We just like to BUMP Fred to keep him where he will get noticed and on the way we pass the time by [STRIKE]discussing the topics of the day[/STRIKE] talking rubbish and generally being mad (as well as advising anyone who needs it - Tixy is the Super Advisor and Niddy is Super Duper Advisor)

Numpty is super top advisor and chief trollbuster as he has been here the longest. :T:)

You got your vote in then Tixy - there's lots of stories of people being shut out at 10 pm with long queues still left without casting their votes :eek:

And I did put Niddy first - Super Duper is better than Super !!!!!!
Although I agree that Nid is the Top Dog, I have seen all your advice posts and there are many of them, and you are certainly his Apprentice !!

Bit like the election on here at the moment:

Numpty : PM
Niddy : Chancellor
Tixy : Foreign Secretary
3Dogs, Nargle, nicca and the rest of us : minions

I think we'd sort the country out between us..

Tixy

small bump - this one might be suitable tonight

It also sums up people like the Hoorays... mad as buckets... and then some .

Agree 100%, nicca. Handyman you're a star, love your stories, reminds me of the tales my mother used to tell me..

I was worried about Washer so PM'd her a few days ago and she got back to me tonight - Quote:

I have returned to work and therefore busy and unable to find the time at the moment to get onto the thread.

My cat Toffee had 5 kittens, 1 born dead, but the other 4 are doing very well. Treacles 2 kittens are doing very well, my neighbour is adopting one and I am keeping the other. My father has been to the cancer hospital for further test as he opted for implant rather than surgery, but after further investigations it has been discovered he is unsuitable for implants, bone structure etc, and he will find out tomorrow what other treatment they will offer him.

I hope you are well, I haven't even looked at the thread for a while, so I'm at a total loss at how people are. I have missed the banter on the thread, I hope Niddys behaving himself, and I hope everyone else is well.

Once I get myself into a proper routine (probably once the children have left home!) I will return onto the thread, but at the moment I am chasing my tail.

I than checked with her if I could let you all know what she said:

Of course you can let the Tollbusters know I'm Ok, and please pass my apologies on for not letting you all know that I'm ok and I'm busy back working, I didn't think for one moment that anyone would notice that I hadn't posted, you all are such lovely people and I promise I will post within the next few days, I'm doing pack ups at the moment and ironing (or I should be).

I'm glad she is OK and was sure that you would want to know what was up.

Cheers handyman123.
