MyBLAB makes it easy to link with all Christians everywhere. However, please remember that what you post publicly can be read by anyone viewing your profile, so we suggest you consider the following guidelines when using MyBLAB:
·
Don't forget that your profile and MyBLAB forums are public spaces. Don't post anything you wouldn't want the world to know (e.g., your phone number, address, IM screens name, or specific whereabouts). Avoid posting anything that would make it easy for a stranger to find you, such as where you hang out every day after school.
·
People aren't always who they say they are. Be careful about adding people you don’t know in the physical world to your friends list. It's fun to connect with new MyBLAB friends from all over the world, but avoid meeting people in person whom you do not already know in the physical world. If you decide to meet someone you’ve met on MyBLAB, tell your parents first, do it in a public place and bring a trusted adult.
·
Harassment,
hate speech and inappropriate content should be reported. If you feel someone's behavior is inappropriate, react. Talk with a trusted adult, or report it to MyBLAB, the authorities, or both.
·
Don't post
anything that would embarrass you later. It's easy to think that only people you know are looking at your myblab profile, but the truth is that everyone can see it. Think twice before posting a photo or information you wouldn't want others to see, including potential employers or colleges!
·
Do not lie
about your age. Your profile may be deleted and your Membership may be terminated without warning if we believe that you are under 13 years of age or if we believe you are 13 through 17 years of age and you represent yourself as 18 or older.
