    that was it though....the third post was not typically trollish...just odd....like someone who knew loads more than they were letting on - it was kind of helpful but common sense...I couldn't actually call it a troll but it didn't feel right in conjunction with their earlier posts. That was why I was after guidance...more of a "what do you do when you can't point a finger but have a feeling that a certain poster should be flagged and have an eye kept on them....

    I think you basically do just that, keep an eye on their posts until you're sure

    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.

    I have to admit guys that the abuse team are acting so swiftly now and martin was around at 10pm last night. I wonder if they are keeping their eye out? It is so nice to see though.

    Hope so, although it must be a mammoth task.
