Riprap Website House Rules

We have put together these rules to make sure that you keep safe when using the interactive parts of our site. Please read them - this is for your own safety.

Do not use your own name or family name anywhere on the site. Use a ‘nick name’.

Do not give out any personal information while posting messages. This includes your home or school address, your phone number, e-mail address, date of birth, or anything that might be identifiable to you and your family. (If we find any personal information in your message, we will remove this before the message goes online)

Do not ask for anyone else's personal information online. If you do, we'll remove this from your message before posting it on the site.

We understand that our rules will prevent you from contacting each other outside the riprap website and we regret that we thereby take away other ways of supporting each other and prevent what could be wonderful friendships. However, we feel that your safety has to come first and hope you appreciate that.
