Pania's wise words once again

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


Welcome to the forum old and new.

Please read the message above and don't be put off by any negative posts you might see - the vast majority of people on here are supportive and helpful.

Hello all, sorry I've not been around. I hope everyone's well.

I'd love a Dogglie. I heard about one that was pregnant and was going to ask if I could have a pup, but when the owners had an ultrasound done they found out it was a phantom pregnancy, poor dog.

I've been doing an Open University course about Crime and Justice, the chapter I've just read was about cybercrime, I now know what spam stands for!

Mum's been taken into hospital, I've got a cold though so I'm not allowed to go see her. She's doing a lot better today though.

Anyway, I'm going to stick some music on and tidy up some short stories for competitions that finish next week.

Good Evening All. I hope everyone is Warm, Dry and settled for the night.
We have had a couple of Snow flurries this evening. Nothing compared to what some of you are having. I told Lady H I hope we get 2 foot of snow, then she may stop complaining about the garden needing weeding.
Under the snow all gardens look the same.:D

I've got four tops and a blanket on, nicca, nice and toasty as well, though a tot of Ames' rum would go down nicely as well:D. No snow here either, so far.....
