    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

    Numpty - you've been awake too long:p

    Hi everyone - and no, I haven't just got up:p I've been to that bloomin' awful supermarket beginning with a T this morning:( and to buy yet another MSE birthday present:)

    Horace - hope the cough is better today and you managed to get some sleep - only way I could sleep when I was like that a couple of weeks ago was propped up on pillows:mad:.

    Tixy - hope the report is going OK (haven't seen you here today, hope you're OK;)).

    We seem to have a 24 hour bumping service at the moment - I thought I was a night owlconfused-smiley-17432.gif

    I meant thats why all of those who are here are here,
    obviously you are right I am not here at all.

    I hate writing reports. I have spewed lots of words and sentences on to the document, now I just need to get them arranged in a way to make sense to everyone else confused-smiley-17432.gif

    My brain is clearly not working on the same wavelength as you two lovely people today - I'm completely confused nowconfused-smiley-17432.gifconfused-smiley-17432.gif(can't find a confused smiley)

    Tixy - I'm with you on writing reports - I've got five to write this afternoon ..... groan....

    So I'm definitely not going to be here (not at all) (not even just to pop in and say hello:D).

    Back later

    PS: forgetting my manners - hi to emily and 3Dogs - hope you're both well today:D
