It's amazing to be able communicate with people from all over the world on a huge range of issues via the internet but because the meeting isn't face to face we can never be sure of a person's identity.
Always remember that some people tell lies on the internet. Don't give any personal details to anyone.
Always report anyone conducting illegal or suspicious activities via the contact page. Blurtit has a zero tolerance child protection policy and will delete accounts of those people who attempt to contact under-18s by any means.
Please remember that everything you publish on Blurtit is always available for the world to see. For this reason you must never post your personal details (or anyone else's) on the site. Think very carefully before posting anything about someone else. Humiliating yourself or others (friends, teachers, colleagues, employers or even celebrities) is not a good idea. Insulting someone on the internet can still have ramifications in the real world.
Also remember that sometimes people use the internet to make money illegally. Be aware that people might purport to be from Blurtit or other companies trying to obtain your personal information for their financial gain. It's always better to be safe than sorry.
At Blurtit we are very tolerant of peoples' opinions but we are also very mindful that we do not want contributors' entries to cause offense to anyone. For this reason we take harassment of our members and/or staff very seriously. Hate messages, intimidation or harassment will not be tolerated.
