Notice to newcomers re trolls.

Today is skintarooney day for me - with my car in for service and MOT, in fact this month is my skintarooney month with my car tax due as well:eek:

Just bumping and hope that everyone is enjoying the sunshine.

Hi everybody.


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 a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.

what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?

firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the left hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.

The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
Above all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!

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 debt crisis

PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.


Kind wishes
P

We need to form a club on that, Horace - same here!!! MOT cost more than my worst fears, then paid the car tax, and just renewed the car insurance - but have to say courtesy of this site - I shopped around and got a deal, so one bit of good news. Mind you - still skint!

Oh sorry B, it's the first gig I've been to this year & will prob be the last one too due to current financial status :rotfl: & fact that lawn mower self combusted yesterday .

Have checked tyres recently but beware of T's free air pump, had misfortune of having all air sucked out of tyres once, leaving them a very flabby 8 psi :eek:
