  • Sue - Sorry for your loss!

    Why do people even bother to troll? They imply we have no life as we comp but what are they doing with theirs trolling around websites picking on people?! It's just wrong.

    My boiler won't switch on :( Just keeps saying Ignition Lockout :( So it's pretty cold in the house. Not good for LO. Meant to have a 5 year guarantee with it but apparently you have to register it and have yearly services. Never got told that when it was installed grrrrrr. Well, I've emailed them and they open 8am so hopefully I'll hear back if not will ring them.

    Does your boiler have an ignition button where you can relight it Nicole? Sometimes when it's windy my pilot light goes out and I have to press and hold a button in. Quite often needs filling up to when the pressure is low, not sure if yours is the same?

    The best way to deal with the trolls is to ignore them, as hard as it is when they are so hurtful and to not repost their posts. I just report them.
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    Hi,I'm not sure re a Troll's motivation but pound to a penny they are not trolling websites.
    I think its an action against the Competition section of MSE by a member using various AE's.
    Until MSE finds a validation method or a tech solution I think we will just have to get clicking on the Report button.

    On a couple of occasions I have noticed they have used names that are on fb. Some of the name I have seen as regular posters in the winners circle but I can't imagine it being the person who's names they've used so I guess they are just out to stir up trouble.

  • It's automatic re-lighter so you just push the reset button and it's meant to do it. I've checked the pressure and it's fine, turned off the electricity, the gas and reset. Nothing. At one point it worked for 30 mins but then cut out again. It's making gurgling noises which someone said there might be air in it but no clue on how to get the air out without draining the whole system which I'm not confident in doing but don't see how air in it would stop it igniting.

    It's just not fair on the people they have targeted. There is no need for what they have said, it's bullying and I think the police should be involved. :(

    I agree, we all have our suspicions but I hope mse towers find out who they really are.

    Edit...posts now been removed :)

    Off to bed now I've got a few comps done! Not enough hours in the day!
    Have to take DD to opticians in morning, no doubt she will come out with yet another pair of glasses! She's been getting 6 months checks and her eyes have got worse each time! :o

    Night night everyone and ((hugs)) to those in need xx

    Don't get upset as it's just a Troll.Ignore them & move on.

    I even asked the Troll to use the caps lock & he/she did so maybe it's a nice troll :rotfl:

    Mind you the pm that was sent to me was not very nice.The troll thought I was vile :-)
    Must be a good just of character :-)

    Mind you the AE users must worry if MSE find a way to ID them as some of us could be done for,but only if we can get the connections posted.

    Then again even when links are established the main player has not been PPR'd so it's not an exact science :-(

    It's just the internet.Unless it gets really nasty lets just leave the police to police real crimes.

    I just laugh at these trolls/AE's:rotfl:
