“Buzz50 - Total lack of Confidentiality and Security ???”

written by dhLoomis136 on 16/03/2022

As a newly-retired person,I was looking for a decent chat site to join. I looked around at what was on offer and chose Buzz50 to look into.On the surface it looked a nice set-up,so i explored further.It is set up as chat part and a `forum`,where people can exchange views on all topics.I put something in the forum`search`box and was met with what appeared to be whole logs from chat rooms but also included what appeared to be private emails from the chatters to the `admin` and vice versa. My immediate response was what the heck were these private emails doing in freely-available records?? Further investigation showed me whole emails from chatters and forumites complaining confidentially to admin about other chatters and forumites in detail and also the admins responses !!, Chatters and forumites were also being referred to in denigrating terms by their own admin !!! I was astonished !!
I could see very much the `them and us` relationship that this site obviously has and decided not to look any further as i had seen enough !!
