First time on this thread and no I am not a troll. i belong to another group and we have a whackaspammer group, we hit the spammer and his reputation blob turns red, of course we report the relvant post to the admin team, but we let everyone in the whackaspammer group to go to the thread and whack the spammer.

please don't whack me. i am a genuine old battleaxe, baptism by fire back in the old days pre 2005 ID T h e f t and Fr aud started me on this path, since then still living with some of the problems, but not as scared as I was back then and have learnt the CCA inside out, and retrained as a Consumer Advocate, now retired, so anything I say, could be construed as the ramblings of an old battleaxe who lives in a house with her Old Hobbit and three cats.

Oh goody cake, I never met a cake that I haven't liked thank you so much for providing dessert for the Hobbit and me. I make a mean Hummingbird Cake so I think I am going to fit in here.

Hi Battleaxe and welcome to the NTN thread (or "asylum" as it's more commonly known ), great to have you on board.
I like the sound of your "whackaspammer" group, it is anything like the "whack a mole" game?:D If so, it could be fun :D

If...... are you feeling OK?? Missing cake?? You have a reputation to maintain, you know :D I'm glad you spotted the cupcakes or I'd definitely be worried :p Thanks for today's pic :T:T

G - hope you managed to get some sleep after that rather early start :eek: If you run out of brambles and weeds I've got some which need some TLC :D

Bear - the welcome back cake was lovely, thank you. I managed to snaffle a piece as If had overlooked it Lovely icing, all your own work I take it :D

SL - my, your cake decorating skills are coming along well, those cupcakes were impressive :T:T Are you going to run some cake decorating classes? :rotfl:

Nargle - hope all's well with you and you're not chasing your tail too much


Lots of spam over the past two days as well :eek: I've checked and it all seems to have gone :T:T

Hope you've all had a good weekend, quite a bit of rain here but lots of sun as well, so that's OK

See you all tomorrow, 'night :wave:

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:

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
