Hi, I have been reading through the posts about privacy settings and what is recommended. I have seen it stated that it is recommended that the main 'Classmate Profiles' link not be password protected so that potential classmates can search. What I am concerned, though, is something that I think might not be too uncommon with larger schools. We have one particular classmate who in previous sites (including our class facebook group) began sending threatening messages to quite a few classmates. He is having mental health and police issues and we need to keep him out and specifically away from any member emails and forums. Any suggestions? What do you recommend as far as system and individual site passwords? Thanks! Brian Tanning

All of the CONTACT INFO for a classmate is hidden from classmates (even if they are logged in). It is considered private and not shown. If a message is sent to a classmate through the system, the classmate will get an e-mail that they received a communication, but the classmate's e-mail isn't revealed. Instead, the classmate needs to log in to the website to view the message they received. This is another way that the e-mail address is protected. The SYSTEM PASSWORD is used if you want to allow someone to view your password protected pages, but not be a member of your website. You can choose if the SYSTEM PASSWORD will also let someone view a locked (viewable only to classmates) classmate profile page.

My suggestion is ban him from your website(you own the site) and your FB group. You could reinstate him when he gets his mental issues under control. It is your responsibility to keep your classmates from getting threatening emails thru the site. If you have a Reunion committee..breeze it by them and if you don't have a policy..make one..pronto.I have a disclaimer at the bottom of my homepage..you are welcome to copy and use it if you don't have one.

I have this posted on our home page: This site isn’t about waistlines, hairlines or credit lines. My policy – one email warning. Second ‘violation’ and they are gone. NOT going to let one bad apple spoil the bushel!

1st make the very best of gauntlets for verification purposes. If they are threatening, immediately report them to the authorities.

Wow. And I thought our problem was unique. We found it necessary to remove the individual from the site, block him from our Facebook page and report some incidents to the proper authorities. I received an e-mail, of course, asking "why", saying I "misunderstood" and asking to be re-instated on the site. I did not respond, just ignored the e-mail. (He apparently retained my personal e-mail address). It was a sad solution but one that was necessary. Under some circumstances I don't feel we have any other alternatives.

The nice thing about being an admin on a CC site is, we can edit/delete just about anything someone posts. _____________________ While your political/personal views and comments may be relevant to the city, they are being voiced in the wrong forum. I strive to keep all negativity and negative commments off of the group and from posts. Please know that if any member continues to post in the same manner, I will be forced to delete those posts and maybe even to discontinue memberships to this group. Again, any comments or posts made that keep with the purpose of the group are always welcomed. Thank you for your understanding,
