I keep getting upsetting and annoying comments

If you receive disturbing or annoying comments from a specific person, the first step is to ask the user to stop commenting on your blog. If that doesn't work, you should consider banning the user's comments in your weblog. In the worst case, you can contact us at [email protected]. Send us an email with the username of the person, the kind of comments that person makes, the time period that it happens and the frequency of the comments.

Can everybody read my blog?

Although you can allow everybody using the internet to look at your weblog, you also have the option to keep entries "private". These entries can only be read by you when you are logged in. Edenwald & Baychester Alumni and the wider web community can only read your public entries. You can also choose to make entries visible to your friends only, or limit read access to registered users only.

How to prevent certain people from contacting me

As long as you don't mention your email address in any of your entries, nobody has access to your email address via Edenwald & Baychester Alumni. You can also deactivate the feature "send me an email" on your "about me" page. Select "My account" > "Contact data" and choose the appropriate setting for "Contact me by e-mail".

I'm being bombarded with spam

Since we do not publish your email address, you must have displayed your email address somewhere yourself.
In order to make sure you're not displaying your email address on your weblog, be sure not to mention it in one of your entries. You should also check email links, because email spammers have the technical ability to identify email addresses which are contained in links. Be extra careful whenever you enter your email address, because once a spammer has registered your address there is nothing you can do about it.
