And particularly apt timing too. Generally I saunter along too late!

Looks like the fun has already started. For those who don't know, i was going to have a chat with SW on a thread that's now locked - i've found where you're posting so no need to email me SW and no need for a restraining order either.

Hi George, how are you? Glad you made it. Fermi has given us permission to entertain on here tonight as long as we keep pushing the no troll thing.

Hiya ~George~ are you OK? Still working hard?

GeorgeUK

Yup, still working like a loon. The mad rush is almost over though. How are you all doing?



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

Are you having a rest tonight? I had a good day at work. It rained like crazy here? Maybe we shouldn't play 20 questions tonight?

niccatw

You sould play 20 questions tongiht! I'm intrigued .

GeorgeUK

I think it's been wet everywhere.

Quite happy to wait until we're back on the proper thread for that SW.

My Sister-in-law's mother had a stroke a few nights ago and it doesn't look like she's going to hold on for much longer. I was going to go look after my neices, but their gran's gone on ahead. Already told boss i wouldn't be coming in to work this weekend.
