...please note the yellow triangle near the lower right of the post window. You should also forward it immediately to one or more moderators. If you do not know how, PM a mod and they will help you with this.

While we may disagree with one another on the boards, there is never a reason to send abusive or harrassing or hurtful PMs to another member for ANY reason. A member who choses to harrass another member will have their PM privileges revoked or be banned from the community.

The BEST person with whom to discuss problems regarding the forum or problems one might have with another member is a MODERATOR, who serves the entire ECO community.

Thanks mb and bg, very good information... and like blue i didn't know there was a safety button.

Dear Mods...

Thanks for reminding us about that little yellow triangle. Though I have never needed it, I hope I never will. Good information!

May I add that, when posting online or communicating privately with other members, PLEASE be cautious about what you reveal about yourself, your family, your home, etc. Many of us are very vulnerable because of the isolation and stress we are under, so GO SLOWLY with online relationships and don't exchange phone numbers, home addresses, etc. unless you have been acquainted with someone for quite a while and truly trust them. If you are EVER in doubt, hold back or discuss your feelings with a MODERATOR. It is far easier to avoid problems than it is to resolve issues once a problem has arisen. Our goal is to make your time at ECO enriching and enjoyable!

And please remember folks giving out your email address to someone you have an "online relationship" with should be done with extreme caution, please be mindful no matter where you are there are predators out there who try to gain access to your personal information, this is something you should consider carefully before giving imformation about yourself, to, for all intense purposes a stranger.

I wish all our members here to have a safe experience if you are ever in any doubt about something or need a sounding board on a matter please contact us that is what we are here for.
