All Users Proper Etiquette for Posting Genealogy Messages on the Internet
Dear FamilyTreeCircle Members,
A gentle reminder to those who need it ... It is considered bad etiquette to post full dates of birth/marriage/addresses on the living with or without their permission. It also raises the possibility of identity fraud.
And for goodness sakes please don't tell everybody where you live!
Likewise you will avoid spamming if you don't display your email address here, that's what the 'personal messaging system' is for.
Please read the following data at this site for more information:-
Kind regards,

Update: It would be appreciated if journals were written in proper sentence case of upper and lower styles instead of fully blocked upper case as this denotes 'screaming'. Save the caps lock for surnames so that they stand out. Thank you.
Also, can we please have subject headings for new journals pertinent and to the point. Example, 'Looking for SMITH and CARTER from Pennsylvannia' instead of trying to have one's life story in the topic heading and nothing in the journal body.
Thanks Allycat, I'm very new to computers & posting stuff so every little bit of info. helps at least me.Kcoons
You're welcome kcoons. Also search in the top right-hand search field for phrases like: newbies, free, freebies, beginners, beginning etc. to read some other journals of great links and tips.
Bumped up for newbies...
Reminder for all to keep subject headings of journals in lower case only denoting uppercase for surnames so as to make it easier when reading many journals a day.
I agree, full upper case does make it very hard on the eyes.
You may need to keep bumping this one up Allycat.
:)
Sorry - wrong one.
I am guilty! I use upper case when writing E-Mails to friends, relatives, ect. I'm thinking it helps them read it easily. Now, I have been enlightened. I didn't realize that using upper case is a form of shouting!! Come to think of it, it makes sense. Now, I know better. Thank you.
I used shouting. As noted in journal screaming is horrid. I would not want someone to be screaming at me!! Thank you.
Thank you.
