Verification process to join forum
Notifications OFF
Looking at the flood of messages about fake documents this afternoon, please could admin look into setting up a verification process for new members. Just asking a few questions about the person looking to join or verifying their email address might help.
I don’t post often and when I see an intrusion on the forum like this afternoon, it makes me nervous about posting at all.
I know a simple verification process wouldn’t be enough to put off the most determined but it might put off chancers or journalists, as we’ve had before.

Josephine I completely agree.
I know some of users are nervous to open up, and these fake messages could really put people off. It’s such a stigmatising offence we really need a safe space to support each other Survive this.
Its an open forum that everyone can read too, so while I trust people will only seek out support if they genuinely need it.
we do need to feel safe especially when sharing our personal experiences.

I also think it should be more closed . The stops so have a forum though what puts me off that is people use their own Email addresses. I also am having difficulty at work but reluctant to ask direct questions because of the open nature of the forum and my hr person knows I named this as something that supported me. I would hate her to look. Though I am sure she wouldn’t. That’s the thing with this offence it’s very difficult not to feel paranoid. I am separated from my husband it I get the impression everyone thinks I must have known and I am somewhat implicated. If the general public find out who my husband is it will impact them.again I am probably paranoid.
Poster is right about the personal accounts they can start people knowing that they are not alone. I could also do an account on how helpful the forum is. To encourage them to come see.
I know people would feel better if it was closed.

Hi, I have just found out about this group and have just joined this is my first post. I have been using the stopso family forum for a number of years and have found it to be a great source of support. I created an email address which I used for the stopso family forum to seperate it from my 'normal' life. I'm not sure about this one being public but all support is really welcome at the moment. just wanted to say hello. Julia
I’ve been offline for a few days and sometimes don’t feel I want to or can post on here. It’s a positive thing but sometimes I feel like I’m going down a rabbit hole again, sometimes it’s easier to try to forget. But I’m away for a few days and what have I missed???
Hi Jaded
Someone posted a load of adverts can't remember what for, passports I think. It was on every post and just made people a little nervous about anyone looking and commenting on the forum.
Glad you have managed to have a few days away xx
