    The original message by Pania:A

    Hi everybody.


    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 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

    Blimey Numpty you found this one in the prehistoric filing room!:D

    I'm sorry that although I've read all the posts I can't be bothered (and I don't mean that in a bad way) to reply to them at the moment. I have been a bit down over the last week or so due to the contact my D has had with her ex. I have got a very bad gut feeling that he is going to talk her into having him back and after he left her looking like mike tyson, that is not an option in my book, I can't talk to her, she won't listen, I've just got the hump with her and she knows why, but won't say anything to dismiss my fears, which just confirms them even more. I can't go through all this again, I really can't and I don't want my grand-daughter to either.

    Sorry guys, had to get that off my chest to someone other than family:o . I'm going to the shop now to buy some booze coz I feel like getting out of it:D anyone want to join me! Apologies in advance cos I don't really know what I am saying or doing at the moment, not beacause of drink but because my mind's in a spin.:o
    I must stop procrastinating, I must stop procrastinating! promise I'll stop tomorrow OK:D

    BL... I am sure nobody is going to mind that you dont reply to each and every post. Its incredibly difficult at the best of time to answer everything and not leave anyone/thing out. It's even more of a trial when you have stuff on your mind, particulary as you have.

    I can only imagine (and is not at all nice) what it's like to see a daughter go through that kind of situation. It's made even worse by the fact that your grand daughter is in the picture too.
    Nobody can advise what to do, all you can do is be there for them and try and make her (your daughter) see that life without him is better than life with him.

    My thoughts really are with you. {{{HUGS}}}

    Hi all, hope Spoons OK. That's what I love about this place. It is real not Virtual. We are a bunch of strangers with funny nicknames, that hang around a thread on the interwobbly. But when push comes to shove the support and encouragement is REAL.

    Cheers Folks, Proud to be a member of the NTN Gang.:T:T:T
