**Notice To Newcomers ~ Re: Trolls ~ part 9!**

Pania's wise words



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

Morning everyone - hugs all round, im still cheery and happy so this week has been much better than the previous ones! CC is actually at £0 - i keep checking it because i cant believe it! :rotfl:

next aim will probably be save lots of money for paying off the horrible loan as well as save for car insurance, mot and service (gulp!) but its ok i think ive set myself realistic goals so i hope i'll make them!

off to update my NSDs - can anyone believe its almost November - EEK!

Watalie

Morning Allie - Well done on the CC Thats fantastic!!

AllieBallie

Borassic - thinking of you and your OH, hope you get some much needed answers soon, hugs.
Watalie - trolls are horrible, please dont let it put you off from posting elsewhere in the forum! I've not read the thread you're referring too but I'm sure you have handled it perfectly
Hello Tixy too

ETA: Thanks Watalie - it's only a small debt to clear but it feels amazing to know i have that extra cash to chuck at my loan each month...or maybe even spend on myself this month as a treat...but saying that there isn't really anything i need or want so chances are it will go in the pot for presents (still to early in the year to be mentioning the C word! and no not the rude one!!!)

I think I've encountered my first Troll despite him/her seeming to be a long standing member.

Made me feel rather rubbish, I have to say. I think I'll stick to NTN in future when I post.
