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 NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.


Kind wishes
P

Hey there... been visiting pregnant friend again. We went for a wander around the garden centre, it took a while! I refrained from asking how she's going to manage to plant her veggies before bambino arrives... I'd like to stick around long enough to meet him :rotfl:.

Probably a wise decision nicca. Hope you had a good day in spite of nearly putting your life in peril:D.
Yuccas don't need much tlc, treat 'em rough is the best philosopy - I've got some in pots and they get very little water and/or food and are thriving. Make sure you spray them occasionally with a water spray (thought I better clarify that;)) and they should be OK.
Re the troll(ghost)busters picture, bags I not be Bill Murray - the mullet wouldn't suit me:rotfl:

Horace - glad you're feeling better now that you've passed on some germs:D
3Dogs - fully fledged bumper now:j
emily - hope you're OK today

'Night all

Wol - let MF know we are missing his pictures! Maybe best not tell him about troll[ghost]busters picture though; I don't want him shaking his head in horror and worrying about it when he's so busy.

solventsoon

Thanks for the update on MF, Wol. Please let him know we're missing his pictures and words on here. Hope things go well for him.

I did that anyway Spoon... she was being fitted for a bridesmaid dress... I pointed out she shouldn't let any-one to take her photo in profile. Meant with the best of intentions as she realy wouldn't like it! And safer coming from me than her husband. But I think she may be plotting my demise!

I shall practise more on some poor unsuspecting yuccas! I'm not sure whether you should wish me or them luck!

They are a bit of a motley crue, aren't they?
