Notice to newcomers re trolls.

Thank you to all the troll patrol and those posting advice to ignore them. Very sound advice.
I went through a very messy bankruptcy 6 years ago and I have finally come out the other side. It's not easy and you do feel everyone is looking at you and seeing that you are useless and such a failure. But that's not true. You are not useless or a failure, just negative circumstances have connected and for whatever reason you have to make a decision - not an easy one and one with a very long and difficult road.
Anyone that criticises people who opt for bankruptcy have no idea how difficult it is
1.. To get to that decision in the first place.
2. To have to admit you need help
3. To work through it, that is not easy
4. To come out the other side

It is a very steep learning curve and I am sure that there can't be many people who opt for bankruptcy more than once.

So to all out there, keep your chin up and take each day slowly. Think before you act and in future think of every penny as a treasured possession.

Most of all be proud of yourself for finding a way forward.

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
