How to block unwanted contact?

Ouch, you have an indesirable contact in your tribe ? Ignore him is not enough, send an explicit but funny message does not stop him, and then your patience is over.

How to get rid of them once and for all?

Follow well this method is extremely complicated ;-)

1 - Click on their profile

2 - Click on a menu pops

3 - Select , the contact side will be blocked, you will not receive its messages

4 - Select , the contact side will no longer appear in your tribe

5 - That's it, there is no 5th stage ;-)

Note: And if you change your mind? You've git this right ;-)

To unblock a contact, follow the same path, click and voila, as soon as you write you will receive new messages, and it will appear again in your tribe.

Tip: If the URL you want to send is too long, run it to a blender Tinyurl , you will have an easy link read that will leave enough room for comment.

Enter a long URL to make tiny:

 

Please do not misuse it and respect Crickee's chart.

Who's the Number One?

The youngest among you will not recall The Prisoner which seeks to discover who is the enigmatic No. 1 of the Village.

On Crickee, things are much simpler: the number One is on the top 10 strip ;-)

At this time and for some time already, this is miclo.

 


A great sense of humor, good mood and friendliness. It even happens taht he meets other Crickees. The photo was taken yesterday with phil76600 while online on Crickee.

 
Disclosure: Do not be jealous girls, I didn't take the picture ;-)

• How to take the place of miclo? In your opinion? Offering a beer to @ laurentvg
  Be online on Crickee, talk with your contacts, invite your friends and everything that can enjoy the Crickee Land Life. But never have your account blocked. Otherwise ... you'll fall down in the ranking and everything will have to be done again ;-)
• Want to know how far you still have to go? Look at the home page when you log on Crickee, My ranking indicates the number of places you are away from the number 1. Today I am number 20. And you? ;-)
• And what's the interest to be the number 1? You will not win a gold medal, it's true, even not a chocolate one. You'll get more visibility on the homepage and here. A lot of private messages and tales of friendship and meetings that miclo can tell you.
  
  
  Take care miclo, the race will be tough ;-)

Why and How to report an abuse on Crickee ?

Because ... “Liberty may be endangered by the abuse of liberty, but also by the abuse of power.” James Madison

• What is an abuse?

Report an abuse to the support is to explain how the photo, behavior and/or public messages from a user have shocked and/or violate the crickee Chart viewable here: http://www.crickee.com/go/chart

For your report to be considered as useful, you must clearly explain your reasons. Think about it when you report an abuse.

• Why report abuse?

With several thousands of users simultaneously connected and several hundred that create or update their profile, we can not see everything in real time. When you report abuse, we can react more quickly.

With cultures, and levels of various registers of language and especially different codes of how to well behave, not easy to establish a common threshold of what is tolerable and acceptable. When you report abuse, we can detremine the balance to be struck between keeping a site visible to all and greater freedom of expression for everyone.

• How to report abuse

- Each profile gets a link Report Abuse.

- Each mini-card profile gets a black arrow. Select Report Abuse after clicking on the arrow.

The page displays a support pre-filled form with your name, your e-mail address as well as the name of the user you are reporting. Remember to give the reason why you believe this is an abuse and send!

You will receive a confirmation by e-mail when your report is received. Each abuse report is read carefully. If it is regarded as justified it leads to the disconnection and/or temporary or permanent blocking of the account reported, depending on the severity of the abuse and its impact on the Crickee community.

• Your account has been blocked?

Who does ever mistake? Please convince us that the dialogue is still possible and that you agree to respect the rules. We read carefully all the good resolutions. Click on Contact Us at the bottom of the home page, then Report abuse and write to us.
Note: Be sure to include your name and e-mail address to receive an answer!

Crickee Live: what's up on the new version?

On Friday night a new release, what's up inside?

• Optimizing the speed of delivery of your Private Messages.
  Now you click, it is loaded!
• Same thing for the mini profile of your contact. It appears as soon as you click the nickname to read the Private Message.
• Read Receipt: you send a message, it is italicized. Your contact reads it or responds, it is in a usual way.
  Your touch has not read or does not answer, it remains in italics.
• New messages: they appear in bold, you distinguish them instantly.

Thanks @dragontoutfeu to act as a guinea pig;-)

24 hours against Internet Censorship

Today, Reporters Without Borders launches the first International Online Free Expression Day, when it also organises its second “24-hour online demo against Internet censorship,” urging Internet users to come and demonstrate on its website, www.rsf.org.

A total of 63 cyber-dissidents are currently in jail worldwide for using their right to free expression on the Internet.

China continues to be the world’s biggest prison for online journalists and bloggers.

To denounce government censorship of the Internet and to demand more online freedom, Reporters Without Borders is calling on Internet users to come and protest in online versions of the nine countries that are “Internet enemies” during the 24 hours from 11 a.m. on 12 March to 11 a.m. on 13 March (Paris time).

Anyone with Internet access will be able to create an avatar, choose a message for their banner and take part in one of the nine cyber-demos (Burma, China, North Korea, Cyba, Egypt, Erithrea, Tunisia, Turkmenistan and Viêt-nam).

Bad weather obviously? Stay on Crickee!

The Notice storm for France is over, but I just put my nose outside and on the French map. Bad bad weather!

Advice of the day: Dress accordingly and instead, follow Crickee weather:

Very strong waves of humour will overwhelm Pings' shores. They could submerge parts of the Public Hall. The weather will remain disrupted in most parts of the site: it will go much faster than expected. Be careful, be sure to watch! ;-)

Alexandra's crush : Special Girl Power!

Hey today ... It is the International day of women, right?

Crickee Goodies are a real mine to send messages that speak for me!

First, this week I turnt dow humorously an admirer ;-) We all receive this kind of messages on our voice mail, by SMS, or even on Crickee. The admirer is nice but a little too insisting, absolutely wanting a drink or invite us to the movies when you do not want. So, I found the trick.

Yesterday, in two clicks, I legally made delivered on his mobile a french video song "Parle à ma main", by Fatal Bazooka and Yelle! At least, that's clear!

The most aventurous of you might send the logo "Casse toi pauvre c **" which means "leave me ***hole" but it's not my style, even in french. Everyone has its own method!

By contrast, when it concerns someone you like, as me you can send him the I call it Love Ringtone. Very nice ringtone attributed to me when I'm calling ... as often as you give me time to do so ;-)

There is a vast choice, I am sure that you have a lot of imagination! Enjoy!

Note to boys who would be lost coming to read this post: You also have the imagination, go! ;-)

As always, you can leave your comments here or send me a message on Crickee.

Crickee Live: what's up on the new version?

The technical team has worked on:

• Optimizing the Public Hall.
  The display of messages is now faster.
  Note: Remember, for more readability, you can precede the nickname of the person to whom you are talking with the @ symbol.
  The nickname will be displayed in blue with a clickable link to the profile.
  Ex: @Alexandra

• The resolution of the bug faced by some users unable to contact with a person who is not a member of his tribe.
  Now you can be the first to initiate a contact! ;-)

As always, please feel free to report bug, comments and suggestions to the support.
