This service is intended primarily for young people from the ages 8-16, as
a creative and safe game on the Web. We ask users to sign their
additions to Tales with a "nickname" or their first name and last initial,
rather than any personally identifying information. Email addresses and
web-page URLs will be deleted.
Secondarily this service is intended for the "young at heart".
We want the content of the stories to be created MOSTLY (75%) by
kids, and PARTLY (25% or less) by older teens and adults.
Please help us to keep
most of the
content "kid-generated". Thanks.
The instructions
are written at early elementary
school level,
but parents are encouraged to help their children to learn the system,
providing contextual and technical guidance when needed. We strongly
encourage you to experiment on the
Grand Testing Tale after you read the
directions, to avoid cluttering the stories with test-messages.
Suitable Content
These pages will be monitored for suitable content for children. Material
considered objectionable will be removed.
Because this service is "live" on the internet,
and because the monitor's standards may be different from your standards, we
cannot guarantee any quality of content or suitability.
Please,
out of courtesy for us and for others who will want to browse these pages, keep
the content clean. We will not tolerate profanity, excessive violence, or
adult situations. If you submit material with unacceptable content you waste
your time and ours.
If this becomes a problem, we will have to
discontinue this service.
