Hi Nomad

You do have a point - there was a newbie the other day who came on claiming to have a load of debt and a business that he had sucked dry so people came on and gave him advice and pointed out to him that he probably owed corporation tax too. I offered him a business plan template and others gave him some valuable business advice and were prepared to help him and what happened - nada, he got his advice and toddled off.

Blame the weather for bringing out the wierdos and the trolls - its always the same. We cannot help if newbies disappear or if one or two regulars get so nissed off that they leave - that's life but what we can do is look after the ones that stay the best we can.

Hope you are having sunny weather and not the dreadful storms that we have had here?

ZTD - yes a ford has water on it - my local one normally has 1cm deep water but with all the rain today it must be at least 5-6ft deep:eek:

was this the cash goldmine nightclub?

I get the feeling that this is sometimes a one way thing and wonder if it's fair to expect some serious, quality advice for nothing.

All it would take is a quick "right, tried that...it's much better, thanks" and it would all seem a bit more worthwhile....

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

A page 2 bump.

I dont know if it were the cash goldmine club Bismarck - I don't think the person told us what the business was just that he had bought out his partners and had one contract.

I think that if people just come back and say thanks that would be fine because then you know that your advice would have been worthwhile.

Pg 3 :eek: ... bump!
