Thanks Fermi but can you answer me a question please?

When that kind of post is reported, how come, seeing what the post is like, the username is not PPR'd straight away instead of being allowed to post almost 50 times and flood the site - like they seem to have done with the last [STRIKE]1[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]2[/STRIKE] 3 usernames they then joined in as? Please - I just want to know how it works - or doesn't in Niddy's case?

:beer:Folks,

We need to pace ourselves with the Alcohol consumption, otherwise we'll need Geebee on standby for tomorrow morning with the Coffee and Alka Seltzer again:p. However, there are so many drinks available tonight, I'm just going to throw caution to the wind and get stuck in. After all, it is lets get sozzled Saturday:D

Time for another one of these

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:

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


PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT
