Following some rather vulgar and obscene remarks which were posted on our PHOTO REQUEST PAGE a few months ago, it has become necessary to introduce some new security measures and additional software to all of our web pages to ensure the this type of behavior does not happen again. Anyone who attempts to post or is found to be making rude, obscene, racist, suggestive or otherwise obnoxious remarks will be banned from this server and
I will personally notify their Internet Provider as well as the police department.
GUESTBOOK, MEMBERS LINKS PAGE AND SITERING Anyone who wishes to place entries on any of these page are free to do so, however, nothing will appear on the web pages until I have personally viewed and approved all new entries." THE BOX" THAT IS PLACED ON OUR HOMEPAGE (ONLY)is a very important part of the new security software installed on this site and servers two functions. (All other pages are monitored, however, they do not have any boxes on them as described below).
(1) COMMUNICATE: - You will see several messages displayed in this box:-
"LEAVE A MESSAGE" displayed in the box means that I am not at my computer or I am unavailable to speak at that time, however, you can click on it to leave me a message for when I return. PLEASE - don't leave me messages which you mean to be posted to the list. This box is solely meant for person messages to me.
"CLICK TO SPEAK TO ME LIVE
", when this message is displayed means I am presently at my computer and if you click on this box at this time you are able to have a one-to-one chat with me. Very useful if you have any problems with the mailing list, the web site or even if you just fancy a chat. This chat is private and I cannot see your name, your e-mail information or any other information specifically about you. The information on this chat software is privileged and secured by firewalls
and passwords. No information is provided to any third party under any condition.
"BACK IN FIVE MINUTES" which means I've just left my computer, but will return shortly.
(2)SECURITY: - When a visitor enters any of our web pages I am notified by a little "doorbell" sound that rings on my computer. I can then see how many visitors are on the site and which pages they are visiting, amount of time spent on any page, if this is their first visit to the site or when they last logged-in and also their IP number plus a complete visit
and chat history. This information is strictly private and confidant ional and will only be used to identify anyone who attempts to post or is found to be making rude, obscene, racist, suggestive or otherwise obnoxious remarks. The IP number will then be supplied to the police who can then locate the person responsible. COMMINUTE SECTIONS All pages in our communities’ section are monitored by that particular provider and of who can trace anyone who logs into this section. This includes the Surname, Chat and Monumental Inscriptions pages.
MEMBERS CHAT AREA Again and similar to the above section everyone that logs into this area is automatically registered in my access log along with the time, date, pages visited and their IP number.
While I do try and administer the pages on this site as often as possible and I will expel and ban obnoxious users, please appreciate that I cannot police this site on a 24 hour basis and are not responsible for any remarks or comments that may bypassed these security measures. If you do come across any offensive messages or remarks of any type please notify me as soon as possible either by leaving me a e-mailing message or
contacting me on the 1 - 1 software mentioned above.
MAY I TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR HELP, CO-OPERATION AND UNDERSTANDING IN MAKING THIS SITE AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE FOR OUR MEMBERS & VISITORS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
