i think its a great idea and all but i have a question.What about on on profile? I meen it says our last names,are we sopposed to delete that?

[Essie]

I think yes,the_prrfect_gal...Unless you are above the 18ers age
And HB,I'm also 9(Hamtaro HH,you are 5 months older than me ),I think that safety is first,so,I may adapt to this rule...I've did that always,not only @ HH
So we cant put personal info etc?well dunno matter
This is a great rule,which everyone would have to follow,but there are ppl(such as MHG)that pretend to tell false info,so we wont beleive all things.
Anyways,good rule!!

good rule! i thought that it was already a rule tho. i dont do that since my mom STRICTLY forbids it. i assume that all the other moms out there would agree with her. but i have 1 question. u know on youth corner on the topic post pictures of other's cities, is it still going to be kept? thanks for the help and concern everyone.

Hi Nana!

I am glad you are so concerned with internet safety and your mom has taught you so well! You are right! Us Moms are protective, but only because we love you kids so much! I am glad that you understand this!

You know...thanks for bringing up that thread! It is a very good point! I will lock the topic!

Have a great day!

My mum gets upset for me chatting in the chatroom or whatever. O well . at least im safe

[SouthPaw]

My mom is really strict about it, too. Each time she sees me chatting on AIM she asks who I'm talking to, do I know them, etc. I would never give out any information, but I understand we need to be safe.

I have an experience to share . Someone I know from another forum got stalked and left the internet soon after

Oh wow, Cow! That is truly scary. Did the person actually locate him/her? That is frightening to even think about! That is why I am so protective..there are a lot of scary people out there but the kids sometimes thing they are impervious to it!

Glad to see you feeling better and back on the boards!

Oh wow, did she give out personal information about herself? That is truly worrisome!

[cow32323]

just a gentle reminder to members here with MSN... we noticed that the MSN email is usually a person's first and last name...so we also urge members not to show their MSN email if this is the case. thanks!

p.s.: thanks to Pather_Shadow for pointing this out to me!
