    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

    Welcome back Bismarck, hope you had a lovely time at camp?

    Trolls have driven away two old and valued members of MSE:mad:

    Numpty has been having sleeping problems - methinks its too much cheese before bedtime giving him/her trollmares:eek:

    Other than that - its been fairly quiet.

    Thanks Horace!

    Without trolls to bug me, the local midges obliged...thankfully they left the kids pretty much alone....

    I've been told it's because I've got rich blood - some people have no understanding of irony!
    For what I've done...I start again...And whatever pain may come ...Today this ends... I'm forgiving what I've done -AF since June 2007

    Oops Numpty, hope you will forgive me, I wasn't sure if you were a he or a she:eek: Glad you are a he:D

    Ex is Ex she shouldnt be haunting you - send the lads round to give her a slap or send me and I'll give her a slap:rotfl: Hope you get the old troll sorted soon.

    Bismarck - you have my sympathies with midges, I hate them because they love chomping on me too (it doesnt matter what anyone says garlic capsules don't work).
