BL, that's my idea of hell!

I think I'm going to go make a cup of hot chocolate with a splash of amaretto.

Martin's abuse team respond to emails/reports when they can. They are not online checking every minute of every day.

So when something like that happens it may be a while before they come online, read the report and take action.

I can only assume that whoever dealt with it last night was on the look out after the first AE, so dealt with subsequent ones quicker. Also myself and a few other BG's were flagging up the new AEs to 'abuse' which undoubtedly helped as well.

Thanks Fermi and the other Board Guides - I do know how hard you work but it is frustrating friom this side

Nite Nite Red - hope you have a good night's sleep and aren't woken up by bottles rattling in the night he he

:j :j Mr 3Dogs had a great day at the car boot - at the moment it seems that 'trash' sells well it as we only put out items sorted out from the mixed 'junk' we bought on Wednesday/Saturday and we had our best day yet :j :j- and the weather was glorious - mind you, looking at the forecast we may pay for that good weather tomorrow :eek:

I see we had some Troll action earlier - sorted - well done

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

I've been trying to change my signature but it keeps saying that the BB size code value is too big? Any ideas anyone?

I dunno what the BB size is BL, what exactly are you trying to add?.

Maybe you need to change the font size or something, You are limited as to the amount of lines etc you have, maybe you're trying to exceed that?.
I'm blonde!. I'm just a point and click kinda gal!
