Notice to Newcomers re Trolls - Part 11

solventsoon

A long time ago Pania wrote the message below to Newcomers or anyone who comes across a troll on the forum.


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 “Report” icon, as shown below:

Click the icon and then "send" the message which will inform the MSE 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

Time for the message again:)

Happy Monday from a chilly Nargle who is just about to put the heating on. Well, it is December after all, and any fool can be uncomfortable.

Hope you are all having a good day so far.

Evening folks

Almost hometime, wonder if the car will be frozen.

Evening all, fine thanks Tixy though in the midst of a bit of short term sick leave due to an old problem flaring up. Starting to improve thanks to a course of tablets from my GP, but the rest is doing me just as good at the moment.

No snow yet in Nargleland, but I am sure we will see some before Christmas.

Hope everyone is well as we start to rev up for the festive stuff ahead - but no getting into debt for it, now, you can have a good Christmas without spending money you haven't got, just follow the advice on these forums. And if your financial situation is a complete and utter abomination, then now is the time to get help.
