Registration
Information
In the next step, you will be asked to please fill in our Registration
form. Only the blanks with asterisks on the following registration
form are required.
Most
of the blanks in the Private Profile area of the Registration Form are
optional.
Any information you choose to
enter in the Private section of your membership Profile here will be
held in the strictest confidence, known only to the Administrators and
Moderators of this Prayer Group, and kept secret in accordance with our
Privacy Statement. We won't even normally contact you by email,
ourselves, unless you choose the option in your Registration/ Profile to
allow contact by us (except in extreme cases where your membership is
directly in question.).
Your privacy will always
be respected here. For further information, you can read more by
clicking on this link for our
Privacy Statement.
Most all the Public
Profile information you may choose to enter on your Registration Form is
optional, too, but
we’d still like to encourage you to fill in as much of this optional
information about yourself as you can. Don’t worry about accuracy in the
optional areas, because you can always come back and change most of the
optional information later in your personal Profile after you become a
Member.
But whether you do it now or later, we hope you take a minute or two, at
your earliest availability, to provide the optional Public Profile
information about yourself. A little such information helps us all in
the Prayer Group to get to know you better as both a person, and a
believer, and it helps to foster a spirit of fraternal brotherhood and
sisterhood in Christ, here in our group.
DISPLAY EMAIL. You
should leave "Display Email" blank, unless you have a good spam filter
and want your email address to be public knowledge. Members can
still contact you privately, and you can choose to respond, or not.
On this Prayer Group, other Members can always invite you to "Private
Messaging", which you can choose to reply to, or you can simply ignore.
Private Messaging is only seen by the individual Members involved,
possibly along with the Administrators and Moderators of this website,
if it's reported to us for questionable content. (Any offensive
content in Private Messaging from a Member should be reported
immediately to our Moderators.)
You
can always use such Private Messaging to have a non-public discussion
with Members of your choosing, or to exchange regular email addresses.
without the public or other Members seeing your message or email
address. For this reason, there is no reason to show your real email
address in this public "Display Email" blank, unless you simply want it
publicized.
"Display Email"
is Optional, but "Display Name" is Required
One required blank in the Public
Profile information area is your "Display Name", which will be seen by
all who visit this list. Once you choose your Display Name, you
cannot change it in the future. It's the name we'll know you by on
the Prayer Group. This Display Name is different from the secret
Username you login with.
We'd be glad for you use your first
and last name for your Display Name here, so we can get to know you by
your real name, but that's very much up to you. You might prefer
to use only part of your real name, or a pseudonym if you like, and
that's fine with us, too. (If you prefer even more privacy, you
are, of course, free to leave all the optional info blank, at your
discretion.)
The choice of Display Name to use
is yours, but be aware that your Display Name will show up on all
your posts and cannot be changed in the future.
Choose any secret Username you
like, to login with, and of course, try to choose a Password that would
be hard to guess so your Private information remains private.
