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

Tixy

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

Push back up the board

Edit - ah didn't see you there spoon, you must have snuck in the door whilst I was taking my scarf off!!

I'm really cold today and work haven't fired up the heating yet, hopefully they'll switch it on this week, it will be october after all.

Hi Tixy,
You have to be quick to catch me.

I'm cold as well, got 2 jumpers and a thick cardi on, I did have some thin gloves on as well, but typing's a bit difficult with gloves on. Might have to put the heating on I think...

Hope you're OK, apart from being cold..

PS: thanks for posting the troll notice, was just about to do that

You need a pair of fagain's Spoon keep's most of your hand warm but leave's your finger's free to type with. Also usefull as an extra layer under mitten's when it's realy cold.

Think it's time for a quick bump. Hope everyone is well. Sick count..

I am sick ...who else is sick? I have a chest infection so lots of time in bed :T..

and now to do a little budgeting before going back to bed and yes it's cold and yes I have a hat on in the house cos am loathe to put the fan heater on again - not least when the thermometer says 22c... (22.9 to be precise)...anyhow downstairs will be home from work soon so it'll get warmer

Hope everyone gets better soon

Regards to Handy and family..
