| <ul> | |
| <li> | |
| <b>It’s free to submit a Profile and Personals</b> and it’s free to browse | |
| them but you must be a Member to respond to any of them.</li> | |
| <li> | |
| Ideally you may submit one Profile and then continue on to submit Personals | |
| in the <a href="personals.html">state or country | |
| files</a> where you have an interest. It is preferred that individuals | |
| do not submit more than five Personals.</li> | |
| <li> | |
| Profiles and Personals should not include email addresses or other contact | |
| information. <b>Submissions that contain alternate contact information | |
| will be deleted.</b></li> | |
| <li> | |
| Responses are sent via a special system we call "Shielded Email". The purpose | |
| of "Shielded Email is to protect the email addresses in the profiles and | |
| personals from spammers and to permit recipients the option of ignoring | |
| unwanted responses or revealing their email address unnecessarily.</li> | |
| <li> | |
| Responses are sent immediately via email, we do not delay delivery.</li> | |
| <li> | |
| If you would like to delete your Profile just click <a href="http://www.gayuniverse.com/deletepersonal.html">here</a>. | |
| You will be given the option of just deleting your Personal(s) individually | |
| or deleting your Profile and all Personals.</li> | |
| <br>Deletions will take effect within 12 to 24 hours of your request.</ul> | |
