LADIES PLEASE READ: Privacy issues...FYI

One of MedHelps rules is that no personal information is to be posted in any post or poll.  Including last name, phone numbers, email addresses etc.  I've noticed a lot of name polls lately with last names listed. This is against MedHelps terms of use.  You may use an initial or say it rhymes with a certain word but do NOT post your last name.  If you do so your post/poll may be deleted.  Just wanted to point this out as FYI for those of you who do not know!  This is for your protection since this is a public forum! Thanks for taking the time to read this ladies!!

Your Community Leader,
Cassie

See now that I didn't know. I'll have to block out the ultrasounds.

Just make sure that you point out that the last name is "similiar to" or "rhymes with" otherwise the moderators won't know the difference will delete it thinking it's a real last name.  

Ashelen:  Yup that too, I've been guilty of not paying attention to the info at the top of the ultrasuond when I scan it in.  It's an easy thing to forget, but in order to keep our medhelp users safe it's necessary to enforce these rules (even for us CL's LOL)

Thanks Cass...I think it's also important that people know that you need to block out your name and preferrably your hometown/hospital on ultrasound pictures....you would be surprised how many weirdos can find you just using little bits of personal information pieced together.
