Usernames and Pictures

Pictures

Never post provocative pictures of yourself or anyone else, and be sure any images you provide do not reveal any of the preciously mentioned information. Always remember to look at the background of a picture too.


Never send anyone pictures without permission from your parents.

Avoid group photos especially school sport teams and activities. It there is a picture, you should make sure it does not have your school logo or team logo. You should also avoid linking to photo album sites like Photo bucket or Flikr.

Usernames

Choose a username that will not be offensive to you.

Choose a username that will not be offensive to others.

Do not mention your age, full name, city, school, or any information that people could use to harm you.
