Notice to Newcomers re Trolls - Part 11

his_missus · 14 February 2012 at 5:00PM

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

OK! Now I'm getting worried... DH has just made me a brew at work for (allegedly) no reason. He's after summat, I tell you;) probably has summat to do with wanting to go somewhere footy/Queen related knowing him

Solvent - I reckon he'll manage til... oooh... Thursday, tops!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hmm... I'd definitely be worried if I were you, HM, that's not normal :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Do you like bean's on toast? Cause if it was my OH that's what we'd be getting.

He's attempting steak and chips tonight... so could end up being beans on toast

I hope you like beans on toast:D:D

Maybe he's a cordon bleu cook and you just haven't realised it yet, you could be in for a pleasant surprise:D:D

I do like a Danish pastry. Had one earlier though so this is for anyone that wants it. Or who might not get quite the meal they are expecting later?

Thank you eddi, HM will probably appreciate this later today:D

Hope you enjoyed your Danish earlier ?:)
