Dear Members/Prospective Members,
Please take the time to read these simple guidlines with regard having a safe browsing and chatting experience on the Garden Railway Forum.
1) Think very carefully before you give out any personal details like photos of yourself or other information that can be used to identify you. The forum does not need your address, the name of your school (place of work), or your mobile number. Please try not to share these details unless you are sure it is for a genuine reason.
2) Don't take anyone at face value. They may not be what they seem. Everyone on our forum has a profile page but these cannot be checked for accuracy.
3) Never arrange to meet someone that you've only spoken to on the forum without first telling your parents or those who care for you (we all have someone who cares for us). If you are going to meet someone, take a responsible adult with you and always arrange a first meeting in a public place.
4) Always try and stay in the open areas of the forum where other people are around. We all use PMs to discuss private sales but no one should be asking you for long conversations away from the open parts of our site.
5) Don't open any attachments or download any files sent to you unless you are sure you can trust the person who has sent them. There are very few reasons for anyone on our forum to send this kind of information, and when we do, it is normally in the open and on boards that can be read by all members.
6) Finally, never respond directly to anything you find disturbing. Please save any messages and let us know. We want to run a toy steam site that is safe for all our users and we will deal with any concerns with sensitivity and respect.
If there are any questions relating to this topic, please contact the Administrator at any time.
Thanks to Mike Jane for allowing me to copy his recemendations.
