nanonet insults

I am reporting that some other webpage team got onto my students webpage and left an insult about a competition they are participating in. I would expect that this not be done again. This is a poor way of having your creative and very applicable tool of web design for children, be advertised. Maybe rules need to be set before people can be a part of this.

It's up to the site creators, administrators, and moderators to enforce the rules or report serious problems to Wetpaint. Do you find this valuable?

You have some control over who can contribute and post comments on your students' site. Go to the site settings (link is in the gray bar on top if your signed in as a creator, administrator, or moderator. From there, you can set the ability to edit pages to be by invitation only. You can also set it so that users must be signed-in to leave comments. You could also try banning the user's ip address. Seems to me, though, that it's a good opportunity to discuss netiquette with the students. Just a thought. Do you find this valuable?
