Forums and Message Boards are the same thing. You may read all the articles posted on the board, and also post your questions, comments, or replies. Moderated boards are the safest, as all messages are reviewed by a moderator before posting which spares the board members from unwanted postings. If you are concerned about Internet security (and you should be) and your personal privacy, we recommended that you use a Screen Name rather than your actual name. You can also post using a different mailbox, such as free ones offered through Hotmail and many others. Remember, never give out personal information over the Internet unless you know for sure who you're dealing with. Unfortunately, there have been instances of flaming and spamming even in our usually safe and well-moderated Scleroderma online community. |
