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

Pania's wise words once again x

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

Good Evening Folks,

I hope this finds you all well and you've now become used to the cold weather. I had to go on a training course today and it took just over two hours 30 minutes to do a 1 hour 30 minute journey. Traffic was moving so slowly at one stage that a cyclist passed me and I never saw him again. I'm not sure if that's because he vanished in the snow or if the 20 minutes it took me to do 2 miles were enough for him to vanish. I felt sorry for him really, as I was cold enough in the car and can't begin to imagine what it was like on a bike!

Hi all, we have heavy rain and strong winds tonight. In the last few hours virtually all the snow has gone.

To all who found it cold this last week, here is a link to a video clip I was sent today. I promise that after watching this you won't ever feel cold again. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

:jGood Morning folks from a still very icy and snowy NI. Handy and anyone else who may be driving, take care if you've had any rain as widespread black ice has been predicted.

Good Morning All, Hi Red. We have cancelled the Crimbo run this weekend because of the weather. All the snow has gone here, but last night when I took the dogglies for their last walk we were slipping all over the place.:eek:

I don't think I shall risk the roads until later this morning.

I saw Sunnys post about 9 hours to get home from Southampton :eek:
I have been stuck on the roads many times before and If I can avoid it I will.:D

Enough waffle for now, catch you all later.
Cheers, Handy.

Sunnylooloo

Still plenty of snow here.

Somehow my new oil filled electric radiator has managed to turn itself on and start to melt (it was on its side to save space). Luckily I've caught it, so if I get another one I'll know to unplug it.
