Under New Management
This group has been without an active manager for many months now.
I recently requested to be placed as the manager and Eons has approved this request.
I became a member of the group not too long after cdaara first started it and felt it was a great group to get information out there to women about online safety. I still feel that way and it concerned me that the group did not have an active manager. For the most part, a group can exist without any management, but someone needs to make sure that spammers and scammers are not allowed to post messages and also to keep the membership aware of potential problems.
Another issue is that this group was formed for women specifically. Without a manager in place, men were able to join the group. This will not be permitted from now on.
The group was listed as a public group, but I'm thinking it might be better as a private group or at least public with approval. A private group would mean membership is by invitation only and your posts will not be seen by anyone other than the members of the group. Public with approval, means anyone could request to become a member but must be approved to do so. All posts would still be public to anyone wanting to read them, including non-members. Please let me know if you have a preference to either of these choices.
Also, please keep in mind that it is against the Eons Terms of Use to post in the group forum any or all of a private message that you may have received. Any messages posted that have included content from a private message will be deleted. If you receive a private message and feel it is inappropriate you should report it to Eons by using the "Flag As Inappropriate" tool. However, if you wish to inform others in this group of receiving such a message, you may include a link to the person's profile page and explain why you felt their message was inappropriate. This will be for informational use only and/or as a warning to other members to be watchful.
Let's all work together to be as safe as possible online.
