    Thanks for keeping this "up there" guys, tomorrow is the day our local friendly troll has appeared two weeks in a row. I've just PM'd MSE Andrea again to see if there is any news on turning this into a sticky.

    Hope it is caged, I won't be around tomorrow for troll bashing, I'm down in Birmingham at the nEC all day, hope to pick up some good freebies but they'll have to be good to beat the ones from the British Dental Association conference in Manchester!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

  • Hi guys

    Sorry I've taken so long to get back to you on this.

    Firstly can I double check you've reported anyone being offensive etc to the abuse team? This is the first thing you should do so that the forum team guys can keep tabs.

    Secondly, many people, especially newbies often don't notice the stickies or the fact that there's a new one there, however often they're posted on so this actually may be less worthwhile than you think.

    Last but not least, if a person is trolling for effect then this is possibly giving them exactly what they want, a reaction.

    I actually think you may be better off ignoring it and simply reporting the posts to the abuse team.

    Feel free to disagree with me though, I'll come back and read the replies.

    Andrea :)

    Point taken although we regularly point newbies in the direction of stick threads and they do take our advice and read them!
