This post was put out by our amazing Realfoodieclub , a couple of weeks back..

Please do read the post...

"There are currently some rogue members on many of the forums including ours who are either following or personal messaging members.... Please read the information below...

There is an ongoing issue with a couple of rogue members who seem to want to use these forums like a dating agency. These people are making a nuisance of themselves by sending personal messages to our female members out of the blue. We are doing are best to get rid of this sort of behaviour as it makes people feel uncomfortable. Please if you get a message from someone you have never heard of or seen on our forum please report the message. From what we have seen they are odd messages and written up like an introduction. We are doing our best to stamp this out.

If you get a personal message you are uncomfortable with report it. If you have never messaged with the person before there is a very distinct box at the top of the message to report.

If you have messaged with the person there Is a drop down menu on the bottom right hand side that says more, click on there and you get a drop down menu that says report.

We put these messages out every now and then because as admins we don’t get a report of abuse from the messages they go directly to Healthunlocked but due to privacy issues they can not act unless a report has been made.

Basically you have to invite them to look at the message and then deal with it.

It is very rare it is needed but just to let you know it is always there.

Added to this..if you are suddenly followed by someone you feel uncomfortable with, do let us know by personal message... we can then flag this up on our Administrators Forum.., often these trouble makers are on many other forums... and they can be dealt with by HU.

We are here to help... but, you need to let us know.... and try not to worry, thankfully , this does not happen often and can be dealt with very rapidly...

Thanks for the warning I’ve heard nothing but it’s good to be made aware. 👍
