Notice to Newcomers re Trolls - Part 11

vax2002

The standard letters are based on dealing with honest companies, stale debt sharks are harassment merchants and they need you to take the bait, some people however just can not resist the opportunity to be proved right and these bunny boilers know it !
There is a steady army of people who will warn you to ignore stale debt sharks, they are no different to fake parking ticket scammers.
Do a credit check to rule out an CCJ and if there is none, ignore them until they put up or shut up.
But be warned, if they get a bite, you will have a very miserable time of it.
Top tips are never answer your phone to your name, ask who is calling and why first, a genuine caller will say.

Fred always thinks there's something much more interesting on page 2, Aesop. We keep telling him there isn't but, like most men, will he listen.......:D

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
