    Hi everybody,

    This is a reminder from EC staff and we strongly recommend you remember this thread and follow the advice given below.

    We have recently dealt with a situation that concerned a number of active EC members. This involved an older aged member targetting younger members of this site and obtaining their personal information via private communication to make inappropriate contact off-site.

    When investigating all this it was clearly noticed that many of the people involved quickly handed over personal information such as email addresses for instant messenger programs or other contact information. As a result we are requesting that you do not give out any information to members that you do not know very well. If you are not confident that they are who they say they are or they are not someone you are happy to communicate with then do not give it out. If they are making any inappropriate comments then we once again encourage you not to carry on communicating with them.

    If you receive any requests from strangers then please either ignore the PM, place the user on your block list or post the PM in the Ask The Mods forum. If you have your email address in the contact me section then it may be worth removing it if you are concerned about being targetted by dodgy characters.

    If anybody has any questions or concerns then please post in the Ask The Staff forum and we will investigate and/or help you to the best of our ability. This is something we all take seriously on EC and we will do our best to stop it happening, but to do so we require you to be alert and not just throw out your email to anybody who asks for it. There is only so much we can do, the rest relies on you.

    Please do not discuss this recent situation on the forum. The moderators are dealing with it and the members involved are all aware of the situation, and if the moderators do feel the need to inform the rest of you then you will hear about it. No doubt you gossip queens will be talking about it off the site anyway. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Do not start a thread in ATM asking who the banned member is or anything similar. We do not discuss things that are not relevant to you and we will not waste our time satisfying your curiosity.

    Remember to take note of what is said. People are not always who they say they are, and they may not always be a nice character. You must report them so we can protect you and other members.

    Any concerns please post in the Ask The Staff forum.
