    Hi Everyone :hello:

    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 such a comment made on any thread you post, asking for help and advice, please realise this comment is not directed at you personally so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal because the majority of us really are a lovely bunch – ooops, modesty!

    What should I do if I get a comment made on my thread?
    Firstly do not respond to the comment as this is invariably what the troll wants. So to get rid of the offending post, at the bottom of the post towards the right hand side you’ll see a red "Warning" triangle within a blue “Abuse” icon, as shown below:




    report.gif

    Click the icon and then "send" the message which will inform the abuse team of the post, who will then review its content and deal with it as appropriate; sometimes even deleting the troll by making their status PPR’d (Posting Privileges Removed). Remember, this site is an asset to so many people, especially those that feels like their world is falling in around them. There is a wealth of knowledgeable people here all willing to help, whatever you do, do not let the comments of one silly individual deter you from availing yourself of the knowledge base that is on offer here.



    PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE FORUM




    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 their debt crisis

    Meant to say, rant whenever handy. We are like an anonymous family on here (well i've met numpty so hes not anonymous) - where anyone will always find a sympathetic ear or help and advice.

    Dfw might be supposed to be about debts and finances but its a community with much more than that to offer.

    Hello everyone :hello:

    Just been catching up, it's surprising how many posts there are to read when you haven't been around for a day. Hope you are all well.

    Oh dear was that meant to be the best England team I've just wasted 2 hours watching:doh:

    Couldn't agree more Numpty


    .

    All together sing now.....Who can make your dinner? Prune your roses too? Paint your garden fence and escort you to the loo, the Handyman can..........:beer::A

    Like it Nargle:)


    Allie - Fingers crossed you get the job.

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend despite the weather. Trip to shropshire was ok but bad traffic on way back, got to do it again tomorrow! No rest for the wicked.

    Haven't had a chance to post much over the last few days been a bit busy and in the evenings OH has taken over the computer - think I'll have to try and save up for a laptop ;)

    Anyways, just off to do a bit of shopping - I lead such an exciting life! Hope to catch you all later if OH lets me:o
    I must stop procrastinating, I must stop procrastinating! promise I'll stop tomorrow OK:D
