Shouldn't this thread just be made a sticky instead of it being bumped up. It would also make it more obvious to new people visiting the site.

Hi Rog, isn't it strange that we always have the best times when we are reliably informed afterwards that we had a good time but have no memory whatsoever of the event itself , odd that, I've always thought! Glad you enjoyed the tea though..

Hi to everyone else, hope you are all well (except the trolls, of course, goes without saying by now!).

The answer is quite simple, Emby - The Trolls (:eek:) don't read the stickies.

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.

Notice to newcomers re trolls.
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

Lets have a late night quickie for any new folks. Please don`t be put off by any trolls....if you have a debt crisis happening in your world then please, please don`t suffer in silence....remember that there is no debt situation that cannot be sorted.

A quick "wake-up" BUMP for the thread. Good morning everyone, hope you are well (except, as usual) the trolls.

Morning all :hello: :hello: :hello:

Hope the weather is not too bad with you all (except of course where the Trolls live - and where I hope it is even worse than last week).

And an extra good morning to any 'newbies': :hello:

Hear, hear Rog - mind you they'll have to spend longer skulking under their bridges tonight as the forum is closed, going to be a cold 'un tonight as well, I think :D

Hi everyone else, just a quick visit to wake the thread up again, hope you're all OK.
