Ning

General Safety Tips

Just like with any online service, you should exercise common sense when using Ning. We’ve outlined some simple guidelines to keep in mind:

• Create strong passwords and keep them secure, which means never sharing your password with anyone! No one on the Ning Team will ever ask you for your password.
• Adjust your privacy settings so they match your level of comfort and remember to review them often.
• Be cautious about posting or sharing personal information, especially information that could be used to identify you or locate you offline, such as your address or telephone number.
• Report members and content that violate our Terms of Service to the Network Creator or directly to us.
• Block anyone who sends you unwanted or inappropriate communications and report it to the Network Creator or directly to us.
• Don’t post anything that would embarrass you later. Think twice about posting a photo or other information you wouldn’t want your parents, potential employers, colleges or bosses to see.
• Don’t say you’re older than 18 if you’re not and don’t say you’re younger than 18 if you’re not. If we determine that you're under 13 and are pretending to be older, we'll have to disable your account. If we determine that you're over 18 and are pretending to be a teenager to contact underage users, we will disable your account.
