What should I consider to help protect myself on Online Message Boards?



  • DO NOT USE YOUR REAL NAME! Use an alias. An alias can be used instead of your real name when you post a message. An alias without any personally identifiable information is best. For example, instead of ‘tedjones1992london’, try something generic like ‘bluesky50’. **Do not use your real name or your email address** We do not have access to user accounts to change any personal information.


  • Don’t post personal information. Message Boards are public forum, so any personal information posted online could be used by strangers (or ex spouses!) to identify you, your children, family or situation.


  • Ignore. To suppress all messages from a specific person on Ottawa Divorce Forums , add the specific user to your ignore list in your control panel.
ODF Mods and admins generally do not delete threads by request as they often contain valuable information for other members. Please give serious consideration to the information you are posting as to whether you really want it out there *forever*; if it may identify you, your children, spouse or ex spouse in any way; if you may have a change of heart over posting it.

We do not delete threads over bad judgement on behalf of the poster and will edit threads for the purposes of removing any identifying information if necessary and brought to our attention. If you are concerned about your ex finding information you posted and using it against you, don`t post anything that can be used against you!

We do not monitor threads for information that should not be posted and it is incumbent on the individual users to use their discretion when posting about their situation.
 
But you will change and or delete things that you don't like or remove a users entire message history upon your sole discretion or mood....

Sarcasm is intended

That's true, Iceberg and Oink's threads had lots of useful information...Although some not so useful stuff as well unfortunately.
 
Unfortunately when posters go out of their way to get themselves banned, their posts go with them.

If you have an issue with moderation, feel free to take it up with the mods or admits via private message.

Perhaps a new registration is in order here? I have noticed that your replies are much more helpful and less antagonistic. It would be nice to have a solid reputation, wouldn't it? Just a thought...

Think of it this way - Iceberg is still here to ask questions of, and Oink -- well, he is posting as FB_ on another divorce forum, so if you google search FB_ divorce, you should be able to ask him for his useful information again.

So Oink/FWB is impersonating FB_ on another forum? That sounds shady.

I'm not sure what you mean? I can see it.

You don't have a profile page - that is because of the periods in your username. Unfortunately, that is a bug of the forum software - you'll see it is true for anyone with punctuation in their user name.

What's that you say?

I'll have to do that..... Search that is
 
What a whack-job. You can tell it's him, from his rantings in the other online sources.

And that's all I'll say about it, because, he probably wants "comments" about him, in relation to this. lol.
