Friendburst has a very diverse community. Like in the real world people will disagree. However, because two people disagree with each other or cannot stand each other is not a reason for removing someone from FriendBurst. Over the past year we have taken many steps to help keep members from interactiving with those they don't want to. In such circumstances try this first:
1) Let the other person know you no longer with to interact with them
2) Unfriend
3) Block - In the case where you don't want them commenting on status, sending you friends requests, comments on blogs etc.
4) On your Dashboard consider changing your "friends display settings" so that only your friends can see your status and you can only see thier status.
5) Go to your privacy settings Menu Settings then Privacy Settings. Consider setting the ability to see your comments, about me, etc to 'friends' only.
Now we need to discuss when things get more serious. Everyone at Friendburst takes its members safety very seriously. As a social network we can however only do so much, but we will do everything in our powers. Here are some additional recommendations when things cross the line and bullying and pure abuse accure.
1) First, make sure you have unfriended and blocked. If the problem still persists, go to step 2.
2) Second, don't remove any evidence. Contact us so we can document everything. If you have the ability to take print screens (.jpg, .gif etc), please do so and forward.
Online Safety Tips:
1) Use discretion in giving your personal information out. Remember, if you wish to physically talk to someone, instead of giving out your phone number etc, consider using skype, or the great features we have on Friendburst for private messages.
2) If you ever feel you are in physical danger call 911 immediately.
3) Avoid having your account hacked. Never, every give our your friendburst email. Also, choose a strong password. Include both letters and numbers and have at least one character capitalized.
4) Dont ever share your identifiable info, such as SSN, address, phone, etc. If someone you hardly know is asking for this let us know.
5) Trust your gut if you have suspicions. If you feel threatened by someone or uncomfortable because of something online back off.
Most important, never ever let someone bully or have power over you. Don't think twice about cutting them off and if they are still a problem let us know.
