Do
Do
treat all the new people you meet online as strangers. Most will be very friendly but
they may not actually be the person, or the age, they claim to be. As a rule of thumb, it
is best to question everything and trust nothing when online until you know otherwise.
Do
learn how to block another player if their behaviour is inappropriate or makes you
feel uncomfortable.
Do
not be a victim. If you think someone is a Cyber Bully and their actions have been
especially mean and made you feel sad, ask a parent or guardian to report them to a
game’s moderator or customer support team.
Do
look after one another online. Giving out a friend’s personal information online –
including photos – may seem harmless but it could put them at risk. So do not do it.
Do
tell your parents if you are scared by anything anybody tells or shows you while
playing online.
Do
be careful when you use voice chat to communicate to other players online. It
can feel as natural as chatting on the phone to friends, but remember here you will
probably be chatting to a complete stranger.
DON’T
Don’t
let your guard down online – never forget that people may not be who they
say they are.
Don’t
use your real name for your username or ‘handle’, use a nickname that is not
going to attract the wrong type of attention.
Don’t
give out any private information to strangers. Your address, phone number or
any other personal details are private and should remain private. Get a family email
address that you can give out rather than private individual email addresses.
Don’t
show or send your picture to anybody online that you don’t know.
Don’t
meet someone you have only been in touch with online. If they keep asking to
meet up, tell your parent or guardian.
Don’t
use webcams unless it is with people you know - and remember to turn them
off after use
