Some websites have a quick escape button which lets users in unsafe situations quickly leave the website.

We are thinking about adding a quick escape button and have started an anonymous poll to get feedback from our members. Please vote and if you would like to tell us more about why you voted the way you did, you can tell us on our feedback form.

    Ah, this is a function I have seen work really well elsewhere @Adrian_Scope. I would be really interested to see the final results and outcome  :)

    I don't see why not having it, there are no real disadvantages to having one. I think it will benefit people though and you never know what circumstances people have that may need to use it. As a disability forum it'll also another layer of accessability and safeguarding for members especially when staff on the forum have gone home for the day or weekends.

    Overall a yes from me, but I'm interested to hear what others think.

    Personally I’ve never felt the need to quickly leave the forum.

    @Adrian_Scope, isn't this called a signout button? 🤣

    I agree with @leeCal, I`ve never had the need to rapidly leave a thread.  I, personally, don`t see a need for an escape button; the mods seem to be on top of any "growing passion" (for want of an expression) in a conversation.  There also already exists a method of reporting someone / something in a thread if a member deems it necessary.

    Just veering off subject - I would like to see a "mark all conversations as read" button.  There are a few conversations I won`t read, so after reading the ones I do I`d like to be able to mark all other unread ones as read.

    Hi everyone in the Scope community and @Adrain_Scope

    I think what you may mean is like on domestic violence sites, they use technology to clear footprints in case their perpetrator is tracking them or something like that. I agree some information is very sensitive. I had a recent experience where a paid staff member wrote in a journal after a confidential information was shared regarding a support site I use due to the fact of being a child survivor a sensitive nature. 

    Think on we don't always know WHO WE ARE SPEAKING TOO. That's why I show changing pictures of me. I am visually transparent. I have relevant experience professionally working in the field of youth and community, schools, health and social care voluntary and the private sector. I have been C.R.B checked government checked and have know criminal record not even a driving ticket.

    I now choose to be honest and transparent MY CHOICE as survivors are often oppressed and kept cast aside like a dirty secret.

    This is a tricky area but I see more benefits to adding more security than doing nothing. It's about getting the balance right. We must find ways to keep communicating effectively. Society is destroying individual personalities from expressing naturally. Everything appears to come down to conforming to societies acceptable norms.

    Then ordinary people become confused as the enforcers and law makers all to often break the codes of acceptability. OR good working practises. These can be the very role models we look up too. I.E. ministers, school teachers, counsellors, members of parliament, Police, Parents, Family member, councillors, social workers, doctors, nurses. 

    A good example of this is lies told during lock down by our government. Some members were found guilty of such deviance etc.
