Chat Box Discussions And Privacy

[Ms B.]

Hey my lovelies putting on my admin hat....



A recommendation when it comes to the cbox down the bottom and privacy.

The cbox has been placed on other sites (I think only the blog so far but may put it on myspace one day too) and as a result more non members will get to see it.

I think it prudent to think before posting if you don't really want the wider public to know about your personal life. Albeit it's recommended not to share extremely personal information anyway, everyone is their own person and I believe it's up to them what they want to share (as long as it's keeping in with the TOS of course and doesn't offend/upset other members).

Yet I will recommend that if it's overly personal to please post it in the forum, make a new thread or post in one if it's already a previously discussed topic, and keep the cbox for stopping over, catching up or sporadic randomness.

Can non members read the forums Bon?

[Ms B.]

Yeah they can, in most areas (except for the writing section, resource section and members.

I've been contemplating changing the privacy settings on most of the other sections too which would mean we'd all have to log in to see the mostly used areas (I'm thinking of doing it for the ME/CFS discussion, General discussion and I can't remember what else there is... Maybe the art section too if I haven't done that already)

I think that's a good idea Bon.
