    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

    Simple option is to look back at previous posts in the thread and copy and paste any you like the look of.
    Or go hunting around the internet to find new ones and then copy and paste them on to here.
    Or I suppose you could go for creating your own but thats a bit techie for me!

    Thanks Tixy, i hope nobody would mind if i "steal" their bumpy things. I just seem to have trouble pasting new things in, they never seem to show up. I must be doing something wrong but i dunno what. I can paste someone elses in from previous posts but didnt want to be in trouble for thieving someone elses, but theyre really lovely!

    Geebee.

    If you mean links and pics and things, as a newbie you can't yet :o
    it's due toi the spammmers and nasties we had a while ago, MSE Towers put a block on what newbies could do
    Just hang around and tell us your story:D
    and you'll be able to do the linky things soon:cool:
