Hello all members of the Hill,
I just checked this out to be sure.
Anyone with internet access can read the blogs, however, only members of the Hill can access General Chit Chat and members pages, unless of course a member has made their page accessible only to people on their friends list. It seems the public groups can also be viewed by none members.

There isn't any website on the internet 100% safe and this includes government web sites so please be aware of this when posting private information such as you email address or phone numbers and never never never give your credit card or bank account details to any other member here asking for them. Spammers join the Hill every day of the week and It's part of the staffs job to remove them as soon as we have proof that they really are a spammer. Some of these people can be quite crafty, they don't post anything on the blogs, they send private messages to other members advertising goods or asking for money to pay for a sick child needing an operation etc. If you get any messages of this nature, please contact myself or one of the other four staff whose names are on the home page. Staff members cannot access any other members private messages or any private groups so we can only help you out if you let us know about problems like this and tell us the site name of the person who sent you the message---------please remember, spammer are usually just trying to earn a living by selling you something, but parasites are only after your money and play on your emotions and feelings to get it from your pocket to their pocket---------------------don't fall for it-------kind regards, Arthur
