    I found this on page 3.

    Anyway I asked the abuse people if they could ban his IP address - whether they will or not I don't know. It's full moon tonight so expect more trolls:rolleyes:

    I hate txt speak - someone uses it on the weddings board and it just reads like gobbledegook to me, I cannot make head or tail of what she is trying to say

    Methinks the troll is in the dunce's class at skewl:rotfl:

    Update on the red x's.

    Martin's picked up on it and will get the techies on it tomorrow.

    Until then you'll have to import them.


    Really annoying but I found that the old style ones still seem to show up !

    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



    refreshed as the other was getting to long because evryone is wonderful and helpful!!!.:D



    *BUMP* ....
    If many little people, in many little places, do many little things,
    they can change the face of the world.
