    Hello and Welcome

    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:
    report.gif
    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

    Hope the computer is behaving now.

    Enjoying the scones HL :)

    Does Fred really have a girlfriend on page 2. What's she like - do tell.
    Well that makes two of us then, Growurown:rotfl::rotfl:

    Thank you, it's behaving better for the moment, I'm keeping my fingers firmly crossed:)

    It's just a rumour that Fred has a girlfriend on page 2;). He's just a typical man (ie, nosey:D) and always thinks there's something much more interesting on page 2:) He's been known to make a run for page 3 from time to time but seems to have learned there's really nothing interesting there at all:D
    Good and hope your day got a lot better xx :A
    Thank you, If, safe to say it improved a lot xx :A I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for no repeat of this tomorrow or I really will be grumpy :eek:

    Oooh, thanks HL:T I wouldn't normally but after the day I've had I think I deserve one of those... I'll try to leave some for tomorrow though:D

    Ah - so Fred's mystery woman remains a mystery. I shall have to get my Sherlock Holmes sleuthing hat on and go on a girlfriend hunt now that we have found the cake.

    Night all.
