See FAQ: bottom of page.
We've noticed a legal disclaimer paragraph that some people have on their profiles, should we have one too? What are they about? Do they do any good?
Our best advice is: Don't put on your public profile any pics you don't want strangers to see. Set them to private and PM to people you want to see them or set to friends only. Similarly, don't put any information on your public profile that you don't want people to see or Google. That will do what a toothless legal notice won't do, which is to keep the information you want to be private, private. Some people may put non-identifying pics on their public profile but keep face pics private or for friends, for example.
Tip: you can set your profile to be hidden from search engines on your privacy page but for various reasons (some search engines ignore the tag we use, for starters) common sense advice would be NOT to put any information on your profile (here, or on any such site) that could identify you! So for your own benefit, don't post phone numbers, real names or email / instant message addresses on your profile.
All the legal disclaimer does is take up extra space on our servers.

LOL As I thought. Would take more than the threat of legal action (that most likely would not even be pursued in the first place by a member) to make whoever think twice.
Funnily enough, reminds me of members who use up all their profile space telling us about no single males and timewasters etc. Nice touch to add to a profile eh? And very offputting too. Why not just focus on the positive. Too much too ask? Sigh... |
