Introduction
Pagebraker aims to provide a service where people can communicate safely with online messages, e-mail and instant messenger. Pagebraker is not to be used by children under the age of 13. Our site is for a more mature audience looking for a pleasant community experience.
Basic Safety Advice
NEVER give out any personal information to people you do not know. This includes your address, telephone number etc. Remember, people online may not be who they say they are. Anyone with access to the Internet can use our site, regardless of any subject matter. We always advise against meeting anyone you meet online in person.
Safety Features
Our site offers you the facility to set the privacy of your profile and communications. You can choose to set the privacy settings for add comments, view comments, view friends, compose message, your complete profile and your basic info to whom you choose it to be viewable. Simply click on the 'Profile' link and choose 'Privacy Settings' once you have logged in. You can also block specific users.
Please be aware that our moderators are not able to monitor private messages and conversations. Some users may use this to be offensive or otherwise just breaking the site rules. Therefore we do recommend using blocking to help defend your self against abuse and offensive behavior.
Our site makes use of a language filtering mechanism which prevents most obscene language. Some users however, will get around this by slightly misspelling some obscene words. This is very hard for us to combat.
If you are being abused, feel free to use the links for reporting users or send us a message by selecting the contact us link. Posts made on our message boards are moderated at random. If you see any abusive posts, please contact us so we may investigate.
Moderation
We cannot guarantee that a Pagebraker moderator will always be present in our forums or chat and as such we do not consider Pagebraker to be a moderated site.
Our team cover the forums and chat as often as possible to reduce abuse, threatening behavior and explicit or other unwelcome conversation. The fact that a moderator is on duty does not mean the forum is guaranteed to be free from abuse.
Our moderators are volunteers who undergo a lengthy training and supervision period after proving themselves as responsible users of our site. All moderators work as a team, and only the very best applicants are accepted. We regularly monitor our moderators to ensure that they are the right people for the role.
Moderator Feedback - Any feedback you may have about our moderators can be sent to us through our contact desk.
Profiles
Before you can log into our system, you need to register and provide your full name and choose a user name you wish to appear by. On registration you automatically get a profile page. You should always be cautious about what information you enter here as it can be viewed by everyone depending on your privacy settings.
We always recommend that you NEVER give out personal information to people you meet online. The same goes for your profile.
Reporting Problems & How We Respond
If you feel the need to report abuse or threatening behavior to us, please contact us providing as much information as possible. Always ensure you include the following information:
a) The name or user name of the person you are reporting.
b) Where the incident occurred i.e. profile, forum or chat.
c) The date and time of the incident.
Wherever possible, please copy and paste the abuse into your email. This can be done by highlighting the text you wish to copy, then holding the 'Ctrl' or 'Control' button on your keyboard. Whilst holding this button, press the letter 'C' on your keyboard. To paste the text into the email, place the cursor where you want the text to be copied, and whilst holding the 'Ctrl' or 'Control' button again, press the letter 'V' to paste.
Please copy all the conversation, from the start to the end of the abuse. When we receive your email, we will look into the incident - we may ban the user or report them to higher authorities if we feel such action is required. In either case, we will always respond to your complaint. We aim to do this within seven days from receiving your email.
