  • Time for a new one of these before I head off to work, tail between legs, suitably chastised and perhaps a tad unappreciated!!!!!!!!!!
    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
    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.

    :DThat'll do nicely, thank you.
    Have to say though, that wasn't a 'Best before' date, it was most definitely a 'EXP' date!. Not that i'm being picky or anythin. But thank you for the new jar.:)

    I thought that 'Best before' and 'expiry/use by' were very different. But you need to go to work now so i'll save this for later!. :rotfl:

    Have a good day dear, dont forget your sandwiches. :kisses3::rotfl::rotfl:

    Of course your forgiven. I'm too old to hold grudges, particularly with a lady who's feeling ill;):).

    Folks have a good day and I hope your feeling better soon. Reds off to work:j:T

    Good question 3Dogs:rotfl::rotfl:. I will be either Stella or a very important meeting tomorrow night, I reckon, leading to Swanhic either having a conversation with a pavement and/or needing Geebee's coffee and AlkaSeltzer on Saturday morning;););)
    Think it maybe all of the above. :o

    The friday night drink has turned into a late party for me!! :eek::eek::eek:

    Watch this space with interest!! :rotfl::rotfl:
