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

Sweating like a pig bump

Surprisingly cool bump - thankfully the sun has moved round and my living room and office are cooling off.

Weve lost a few newbies and 1 or 2 decent regulars as a result of the Trolling over the weekend, from a few threads, we really need to keep our eyes peeled and try to stop them in their tracks or at least warn the newbies on those threads exactly what is going on. It really is growing out of hand and Im struggling to keep up with it.

on the edge of page 3.....sorry to hear about the attacks....will try and be more vigilant!

I think the oldies will be back, which newbies do you mean?

Horace

I went away at the weekend so wasn't patrolling - I may even be on holiday next week if the weather holds.

This is a very scared bump because it has been thundering here since 18.30pm (I am petried of thunderstorms):eek:

Numpty_Monkey

don't worry Horace

Horace

Thundering has now stopped - waiting for the next lot to arrive as its still very dark here. Some roads here are flooded too and tomorrow I might just be nosy and walk down to the ford to see if its flooded again.
