Advisory: **PIN Sharing and Picture sharing threads**

[John Yester]

BlackBerrys are very nice phones and RIM has been expanding its market share rapidly in all segments of the market. Specifically they are gaining a larger share of the non-corporate market. This is good news indeed, especially for CrackBerry since our membership has risen over the last few months because of this.

However an unwanted side effect has been a rise in the number of threads containing adult content in the form of text and pictures. Adult content is specifically prohibited by CrackBerry’s Posting Rules and Guidelines and all such posts and threads we find will be summarily removed. Continued posting by our members may result in banning.

PIN Sharing threads for minors will not be allowed. Threads requesting the PIN of minors under the age of 18 will be deleted.

CrackBerry is a site where all members of the family are welcome and accordingly we cannot permit any content of any type that the CrackBerry Team considers adult or inappropriate.

In addition to these rules, we urge you to treat your PIN as you would any other personally identifiable information. While sharing your PIN is something commonly done-- it should be done so with caution. Not everyone in the World has the best intentions and sometimes you may find yourself with people you have no interest in looking to add you via BlackBerry Messenger.

Should issues or concerns arise, it is your responsibility to address the situation as you see fit.. CrackBerry as a site, cannot help you "get rid" of people off of your device. If at any point it becomes an issue for you, then you'll need address things in accordance with your local law enforcement.

On behalf of the CrackBerry Staff,

Thank you for your cooperation.
