There are a lot of basic questions on Mail Art that are often asked and answered. This group might be the first place to look for answers. I will do my best to answer, but hope that other members can help out as well.

I agree Tere. I'm spending time on making and doing art now, not fighting these batteles. Over to you. Erni/Val

Katerina: I am only too willing to accept most kinds of behaviour, but not this. It is potentially so very dangerous that I am extremely uncomfortable with it.

Thankyou APLD.

This is a lot clearer.

I read the Terms of Service and are even more convinced that the situation I described is,  well the simplest word I can find for it is wrong'' but if you want me to get engaged in a legalistic analysis of the TOS I'm perfectly willing to do so).

It shouldn't be allowed in IOUMA.

You can quote chapter and verse of the TOS to me, and I can argue them with you until the cows come home, but, and I repeat myself, it's wrong.

LARVATUS PRO DEO

should we have a figure under the mask ? it is said power is secret ; in the Village easy to be pushed into empty chap after turning food for monster gossip ( unecessary to be peoplised )

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on December 7, 2012 at 6:36pm

I'm not sure if I am correct about this, but I think a non-member at IUOMA can "visit" and read the comments, blogs, discussions, groups, etc. But cannot comment or post anything. I am not sure if a "visitor" has access to our profile page where we have our address and email and other info ?

A "Private" member, is a member. And can have access to everything at IUOMA and if he/she chooses, may blog, comment, etc. the only ones who are allowed to see a Private page are those who have been invited by that person to be his/her friend. If we accept the invite, we then can enter the Private Circle. 

Is it "desirable"? Art is in the pursuit of TRUTH, as mail artists are we truthful, honest, respectful of those in  the art community? Well, it must be remembered that IUOMA.ning is an internet site, and "handle" names of all imaginable types are allowed, it is optional to post your mailing address or email, etc., OR one can truthfully say "my name is", "I live here", "my birthday is this date" and I'll be 17 years old in February. (Oh, wait there was a typo just there). It's all up to the individual member.

I personally like to know the human being/artist to whom I am communicating with, by his/her real name, I even like to meet them!  But sometimes that is not possible because they may not want their true identity out here on the world WIDE web, or to have actual "contact" with cyber-friends. It is their way to keep their identity secure.

We have to respect that desire for "hidden" identity.

This is standard practice with NING and almost every social internet site. It is not something that can be changed.

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on December 7, 2012 at 4:52pm

I've just found out that it's possible for a member to set their page to Private or something like that in such a way that one knows absolutely nothing about them, and can only do so if one becomes their friend.

This worries me somewhat, because such a 'shadowy' person has full access to everything about other members, but they have no access to the mail art, photos and even real existence of a 'shadow'. 5I know that non-IUOMA members have access to the site, too, but think that there is a difference between a 'visitor' and a 'shadow')

I suppose I have to ask a question, and it is: Is this normal, healthy or desirable in our sort of open artistic community?

Comment by Poison Label Productions on November 26, 2012 at 4:46am

On the settings page...

You must choose to upload a pic in certain area...the final dimension vary by which space u r filling...

The size limitation is specified there...

In general...the image sizes are 250mb and others are 500mb but the width always seems to be 955

I hope this help...
