Notice to newcomers re trolls.
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.

Got a feeling with so much news coverage on the TV that we may need a few extra bumps today.

Tell me about it. :undecided

Nearly there though.

Congrats SSA. :j

Oh well I can see its even further than I thought - I thought it was 8,000.

fermi

Nope. 10,000.

The one after that is 55,000. :eek::eek::eek:

fiveyearplan

OMG - 55,000 does anyone have 6 stars?

2 people do.

See: Top 100 Posters

It's not exactly 6 stars though. It's 5 red rosettes.

Like this:

And you get to be a "Mega Magnificent Maxi-Meticulous Uber-MoneySaving Magnate" :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

fiveyearplan

Something to aspire to then! If I've done an average of 4,000 posts in 2 years it will take me 25 1/2 years to get 5 rosettes. I'll be nearly 70 by then!
