Expendable's tags:
According to SoulCast's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy - yes.
 
In the Terms of Use, article 7 H clearly states that members should not "Include in your Member profile any telephone number, street address, last name, URL, or email address."
 
By keeping that info out of your "About Me" box and posts, you're one person among billions, anywhere in the world.
 
In the Privacy Policy, SoulCast states "We do not collect personal information, including email addresses. We do not collect or maintain logs of our users' IP addresses and information regarding our users' use of our website and services."
 
So what does that mean? By not keeping personal information, SoulCast employees can't sell your email address to spammers. If a hacker did somehow get into the SoulCast server trying to find you, they just wasted their time because your IP address isn't stored. All a court order will get from SoulCast is all your postings and user name - which they could have just as easily gotten by visiting your blog page.
 
And if that wasn't enough for you, they tell you how to really hide online.
 
So what does that add up to? Uncensored blogging. Freedom of Speech. Privacy.

    Just in time too. I never thought she'd actually try claiming something like that. You know though if SoulCast bans her, she'll just come in again with a new name.
     
    *sigh*

    one thing that is hard for any one to completly change is our style
    i think if i left and came back under another user name i would be spotted .i know some people are good at deception ,but so are people good at spotting deception.

    You've said it Bluegum. Most of us have been in chat rooms and message boards, we've seen alts, trolls and impersonators. We've learned what to look for, what stands out. Like hottips just subscribing to me. I know she doesn't like me, so that can't be good.
  • silverwhisper said on Feb 06, 2008....
    i'd be curious to see what happens should she try commenting.

    Do me a favor. If she gets snarky, promise me you'll stay out of it.

    does this mean the "web" cops aren't going to come after us if they don't like what we say? that's a relief! Hehe
  • cindylu said on Feb 06, 2008....
    just letting you know, I just now subscribed to you. later~
  • Expendable said on Feb 06, 2008....
    No web cops ^_^
    I think you should know I'm actually very boring and the only real attention I get is from friends and 4newcomers posts like this one.

    Pshaw! Ex, you don't give yourself enough credit. You aren't that boring! Don't make me OED smack you!
  • Expendable said on Feb 06, 2008....
    eeep! not the unabridged! >.<; I'll be good, I promise!
  • Zayda said on Feb 06, 2008....
    I only OED smack with the unabridged. Anything else just wouldn't carry the right wait. And I'll hold you to that promise. :D :D

Does anyone know?...
just preserving for myself...because sometimes I need to remember and be reminded...
October 4, 2008

My Grandma passed away. My mom and I went to the hospital around 4 hours ago knowing that this may happen. I couldn't go in after hearing my dad describe her state. I have chosen to remember her as I've always seen her....
that I think I like most...
