As promised, I have come back again with some useful tips to save women online from perpetrators in the social networking websites. When You open an account with a social networking website , you may find a column titled privacy policies . Most of the times we dont have time to go through such articles. but believe me , this can be a good eye opener. I am member of some leading social networking websites . I found many useful tips to save my self and my virtual home from all these websites which were quite common . Here are those tips:
1. Never use your regular email address for socialising in the net. Create different identities for different social networking websites.
2. Never display your real home address, telephone number or your parent's / spouse's phone number.
3. Be very careful while joining any commuity / groups or forums. Check whther it is having any objectionable posts/ comments or threads.
4. If you DO NOT know a person who wants to befriend you , check his / her profile thoroughly , peed into his/ her freinds' groups/ personal message board ( if it is allowed) , albums , his communities and his posts in those communities to know him/ her better. Do not accpet him/ her as a friend if you have suspicion .
5. It is not allways the MALE PROFILE that can cause danger , but also FEMALE PROFILE which may have equal threat to your profile . What if the female is a camouflaged "dirty fellow"?
6. Be careful of what you write in the internet . you may not get any second oppertunity to deny or cancel your statement.
Allways remember , a little precaution can help you to make this "virtual network" a wonderful experience .

Social networking websites and the FUN
Unfortunately we women get most of our disturbances from the social networking websites where we are members. what kinds of disturbances?
1. some one keeps on sending friends' request and he /she is a stranger . we hardly know whether the sender is a genuine person and wants a real friendship. here are some tips to find out the genuineness:
Check out the persons' whole profile . if you find any thing suspicious, just put a full stop then and there.
Did you check his wall or message board? if it is open for viewing having a glimpse .
See his photo album and video clippings .
Check the communities he is member to.
You may get an idea who the person is and what is his real aim.
2. You get an unwanted visitor who keeps of scrapping on your message board. What should you do?
check who is the visitor by thoroughly examining his profile .If you feel he is a "real nuisence " click ignore the person / "block the person" button in your profile and immidiately lock your message book.
3. Are you afraid that your personal photographs may be attakced?
Post some pictures that attract less or nil"sexual comments" ;
Do not "invite" your friends to visit your album . This could lead to inviting more unknown friends through your own friends.
4. Be careful of what you post in your profile. Do not post sensitive data about yourself.
5. Never "fight " with your virtual friends using abusive language. Imagine if they revert back, you may find next morning your message board full of bullying words . There are chances that many of your friends may have seen these "hate-words" before you found it out yourself.
6. Do not try to experiment with banned , mischievous or obscene communities. this may lead you to even more bigger danger zone.
In my next blog I will share some tips to avoid any cyber danger that you may have fallen into.until then Bye from Debarati.
