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

boult - I know all about trampolining cats. I've got 4 and I woke up at 3am to find one curled up on my pillow, one under the duvet between me n DH, one asleep on top of me and the other pinning me into bed by my legs!

Blimey HM, I had enough problems with one cat, never mind 4:D

Good Morning Folks
I think my cat got stuck in the bath yesterday - well she was sat in the (empty) bath when I got home and yowled pathetically until I picked her up out of it. Maybe she'd just decided it was the least drafty bit of the house with all that wind howling around.

Oh dear, poor pud, Tixy, hopefully she's not too psychologically scarred by her experience:D

Bit windy innit?

Tixy

A bit yes!

Up again Fred, and I'm glad I'm off work with this wind! Feel sorry for anyone driving in it.

AND as if sharing the bed with 4 cats isn't bad enough, I have to share it with Hubby too

On occasions I sleep in the single spare bed when DH is snoring, I only have to share that with 3 cats, now that is a squash, Tikka is a right ol' daddy's girl and always stays with him :rotfl:

The wind seems to be easing off here and I'm sure at lunchtime I saw something shining in the sky...it's called the Sun apparently!

I woke up the other morning in a panic as I couldn't feel my legs. Nothing to worry about, the German Shepherd had jumped onto the bed and was laid across my legs. Pins and needles when he moved!

This was me earlier...
