Community Helpful Tips

Don’t Assume Anything About Anyone or Anything

We caution you that o pinions, advice, statements, offers and information are solely those of the authors or originators and you should NOT rely on them as accurate. You may never know whether it is there for entertainment or any other reason or purpose. Always consult with your own professional or other advisors because we do not check, verify, endorse or accept responsibility for any of these things, nor do we represent or guarantee accuracy, completeness, usefulness or anything else.

DON’T share anything you don’t want everyone to know or that might embarrass you.

Our Service(s) is a public space. Assume your Post will be seen by others who you may not know. 

DO be careful about joining communities of others or adding others to your community.

People aren't always who they say they are. Things are not always what they seem.

DON’T mislead people.  

Be truthful when you share. Deception makes people angry and has consequences – even here.

DO report harassment, hate speech and other inappropriate things.

If you feel someone's behavior is inappropriate or making you uncomfortable, report it right away.

DON’T share your identity or Personal Information with anyone you don’t know.

Things like your real name, phone numbers and addresses make it easy for someone to find you – even someone you don’t want to find you or someone you don’t want to communicate with. 

DO take your conduct seriously.

We give you control over your online experience. That means you choose what to share or not and what to do or not. What you decide online has consequences and may give someone else some control, especially if you share information or choose to meet or communicate with someone. 

DON’T meet people you do not fully know and trust.

If you do decide to meet, do it in a public place, bring a parent or friend and make sure a responsible adult knows exactly where you are and what you are doing ALL THE TIME – online or in person.

DO try using a third-party, anonymous e-mail address.

As an added safety measure, we recommend using a third-party, anonymous e-mail address expressly for communicating with other users instead of using your personal (and potentially personally identifiable) e-mail address or account. 

DON’T use a provocative, sexually explicit, shocking or otherwise inappropriate user name.

Using sex, race, ethnic or other names and words may get you noticed, but also may attract the wrong kind of attention. Remember you can control your choices; you can’t control others.

DO block abusers and report them to us.

We STRONGLY encourage you to block anyone who is or you suspect is behaving in any way that you feel is making you or anyone you know uncomfortable.
