    What are you 'encouraging' him to be, Beth - totally incorrigible? :confused: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    And did someone mention 'Cain' - because I'm certainly 'Abel'. ;)

  • Oh rog....just noticed your post & has stopped me posting on the `kill the puppy` thread!!!

    Ignorant folks from `gambling loopholes` ( yes ironic isnt it :rolleyes::rolleyes:) & HP&R deciding to try & have a go at BR.....nevermind...I`m chilled tonight (hmmm well on the outside at least!!)

    Has the `green one` required your services today ?:D:D

    I did look a little deeper into our guests past and noticed the gambling chat, so used the ammo. Our unwanted guest was a pain in the backside all day and all this over a puppy????

    Hi Everyone,

    Not sure if we have this thread over here on BR board but DFW bump this often so that newcomers new & old are aware of the possibility of `troll` issues.

    They `bump` it along regularly to keep it in peoples minds. Perhaps it would work over here?

    Pania`s words are so brilliant I could`nt better them myself so I copied as below.

    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

    Could someone have a look at the penultimate post (#4122) on the 'DFW' Troll warning thread - I'm not sure what it means - thanks.
