Welcome Newbies and Lurkers

A question about : Welcome Newbies and Lurkers

The Bankruptcy Board is about people who've gone Bankrupt (BR for short) helping out people who are thinking of doing it but don't know where to start and need guidance.

Many of the people who post on here already have a huge wealth of knowledge on the subject and are only too willing to help guide you along based on their own experiences.

If you feel you can do with their help please do start your own discussion/post your question on the board, then post your link to it in here once you have the link posting ability so regulars reading this who may not have spotted it know you're asking for help.

As happens on many forums and social networking sites, you may sometimes see a post that doesn't seem in keeping with the friendly forum we try to make this. Sometimes it's just someone having an off day, sometimes it's what's called trolling.

If you do see a post you feel the Forum Team should be aware of, just report it by clicking the Report button, then ignore it. Don't reply back as that gives the Forum Team more work and delays any action while they work out what's going on.

Now I'll let the good people of the bankruptcy board take over.

Good luck and take care

Andrea

Best answers:

• Welcome to the Bankruptcy (BR) Board.
• Every now and then we have had a number of offensive and insensitive comments made on the BR board.
  What do we mean by this?
  A person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads is know as a Troll. 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 such a comment made on any thread you post, please realise this comment is not directed at you personally so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal because the majority of us really are a lovely bunch - ooops, modesty! That said there are different writing styles; some brief and some harsh but helpful. If you happen to read them when you are not going through such an emotional time, you may find you are not as offended. So if they have upset you please try not to respond angrily. Most people are simply trying to help.
  What should I do if I get a comment made on my thread?
  Firstly do not respond to the comment as this is invariably what the Poster wants.
  So to get rid of the offending post, at the bottom of the post towards the right hand side you'll see a red "Warning" triangle within a blue "Report" icon, as shown below:
• And I forgot... woohooo a shiny new thread
