be clever and keep control - our tips

Never rise to nastiness. Block it and report it. Remove people from your friends and if necessary, report them to the people that run the website.

Adjust your privacy settings so that only people you choose can see your profile. Make yourself unfindable in searches and set your profile to private if you want.

Think about what you post. Only write things online that you would say to someone's face. You don't have to join in on forwarding embarrassing stuff.
