Hello Friends,
From the couple of weeks, we are witnessing too many post where our fellow members are been attacked and cause of which many of our friends are forced to leave our Big Family.
Please follow the Do's and Don'ts as Minni (Global Moderator) wrote in one of the thread:
1) Do not provide personal details like your phone number, e-mail id and home address to members you hardly know.
2) If any member harasses you then immediately contact viewbie, moderator, channel or global moderator; immediate action will be taken.
3) If possible, save some conversation of personal chat as well as IF-PMs.
4) Report a post of the member, telling us how he is troubling you; we will get the direct link of the person's post.
5) In your pm box, add him to the 'buddy list' and then block him. He will not be able to send you any pms.
6) If he is calling you up at home, tell your parents. You might get a little scolding, but it will be harmless in front of the harassment you will face otherwise. Let one of your parent pick up all the incoming call for a while, or else, if you have a caller ID, don't pick up any phone that says private number, let your parent or a guardian pick it up; They can even block his calls off permanently.
7) Inform your friends about the situation. Friends can be of great help at times.
8) Block the person on yahoo and make your status permanently invisible to that particular person by going to the stealth settings; Don't accept any new invites unless you are very sure of the person who is sending it to you. Don't accept new invites just to have a large address book.
9) Don't panic or feel threatened. Let the member know in no uncertain terms that you won't be cowed. If he writes you any threatening pm, save it and show. If he threatens you on phone, then tell him you will trace his number, and tell his family/ company whatever. If possible, let his family know about his misdeeds.
Most importantly, don't leave India Forums just because of some shady characters. Remember, even if you leave, he will always find ways to get back to you in an underhanded manner.
