Joining the Private Section for Journals

[Kizzie]

We have just added a section for journals that is private meaning only those I give permission to can see and post in the group.  The reason for this section is that some members are afraid of or are being stalked by their abuser(s), family, etc.  The public journals are not as safe in the sense that an accumulation of information can lead a determined person to recognize someone they are trying to find.  As such, we have this private section.  It is also for members who would feel more comfortable having their journals be more private.

In order to be given permission to join the private section you must have made an introductory post and at least 5 other posts on the forum. This allows me to get a sense of who you are and if it is safe to let you into that section. If you are allowed to join the section and give members reason to feel you are unsafe your access will be taken away.

Please post your request to join the group below. It may take a few days for access to be granted/denied as I will review your forum posts.

Is it just for those with stalking issues?

[Kizzie]

Good question DD.    It's not just for that, it's also for members who want their journals to be private. I've added a sentence about that in the first post in this thread so members are aware.

I'd like to join the private group. I am thinking of also asking my journal to be private. Is that an option?

[Kizzie]

OK DD, I've signed you into the section.  I can move your journal over if you'd like or you can start a new one.
