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

Numpty_Monkey

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 to see you back Numpty. Life has a habit of getting to all of us occasionally, hang on in there, something good will come along soon.

Take care x

Right I'm just about to drive home, which will take until after 7
I assume this thread will be on page 30 by then??:D

Only if George shows up!!!! My home email was spammed today. Some idiot said i was trapped in Spain and could all my friends send a money transfer to a bank in spain or something crackers. I have had concerned phonecalls all day. Most of my friends are terribly financial and realised but loads of old students have been ringing my college to offer me money. So ridiculous.

Fermi i have sent you a couple of pm's from a distressed user. I hope you can do something to help them. Delete this if you have to. thank you, sw

I'm afraid I can't complain on someone's behalf.

MSE won't accept that. Probably a good thing really.

If someone is having issues with someone else on the forums then it either needs to be sorted out between them, OR if it is an 'abuse' issue reported to the abuse@ email address.
