Additional clarification
Missyjblog, we appreciate your concerns and hope the following will make the process clearer for you and other members:
In a typical scenario, a member reports a potential violation of the Terms of Use. We investigate the report, and if necessary, remove the relevant item and issue a warning that describes the violation. The most common violation is abuse of another member, e.g. using a profanity to describe another member simply because they have a different opinion.
If the member repeatedly violates the Terms of Use, e.g. continually abuses others or deliberately attempts to disrupt the site, we have no choice but to suspend their account. To learn more about the criteria used, please read the Terms of Use, particularly the "No Unlawful or Prohibited Use" section.
For obvious reasons, we cannot publish our security measures. However, it is very difficult for someone to hide their identity online.
All of us on the BN Staff work very hard to make Blogging Network an enjoyable and harassment-free environment. That is not an easy job and we always try to be as fair as possible. We would gladly welcome your input if you have some suggestions on how to improve this process.
For the past few months, we have been working to create additional posting guidelines based on member suggestions. The Terms of Use themselves are not expected to change significantly, but we believe the guidelines will help clarify them further.
