MyOutdoorSpace makes it easy to share your outdoor experiences with others, express yourself through outdoor activities, connect with friends who share common interests and make new friends based on shared interests and values, but please remember that what you post publicly could expose you to danger or other adverse consequences.  Here are some common sense guidelines that you should follow when using MyOutdoorSpace: 

• Don't forget that your profile and MyOutdoorSpace forums are public spaces.  Don't post anything you wouldn't want the world to know (e.g., your phone number, address, IM screens name, or specific whereabouts).  Avoid posting anything that would make it easy for a stranger to find you or contact you outside of the MyOutdoorSpace.com site.
• People aren't always who they say they are.  Be careful about adding strangers to your friends list.  It's fun to connect with new MyOutdoorSpace enthusiast from all over the world, but avoid meeting people in person whom you do not fully know. If you must meet someone, do it in a public place and bring a friend or trusted adult.
• Harassment, hate speech and inappropriate content should be reported. If you feel someone's behavior is inappropriate, react. Talk with other friends or a trusted adult, or report it to MyOutdoorSpace or the authorities.
• Don't post anything that would embarrass you later.  Think twice before posting a photo, video or info you wouldn't want close friends, your parents or boss to see!
• Sharing your outdoor adventures with friends with common interests can be fun, but always remember to use common sense when posting information on MyOutdoorSpace.com.
