Please remember that what you post publicly could embarrass you or expose you to danger. Common sense guidelines that you should remember when using this online parenting community:
Don't forget that your profile can be and forums are public spaces. While you can choose to have your profile locked, you still shouldn't post anything you wouldn't want anyone to know (e.g., phone number, address, IM screens name, or specific whereabouts). Avoid posting anything on this online parenting community that would make it easy for a stranger to find you and or your children.
People aren't always who they say they are. Be careful about adding strangers to your friends list. It's great to connect with other MommyTalk.com online parenting community users that may appear to have many things in common with you or want to share their parenting advice or parenting tips. Still, make sure to avoid meeting people in person whom you do not fully know. If you must meet someone, do it in a public place and bring a friend.
Inappropriate content should be reported. If you feel someone's behavior is inappropriate, react. Report such acts as hate speech, harassment or inappropriate content to MommyTalk.com or the authorities when deemed appropriate.
Don't post anything that would embarrass you or your family later. Think twice before posting a photo or info you wouldn't want your friends, family or colleagues seeing!
