Free Guestmaps by Bravenet.com

The Guestmap will open in a new window. All posts will be reviewed and approved before they are displayed; this is to prevent offensive postings. Individuals who post attempt to post offensive messages will be permanently blocked. It's possible that the Guestmap service may have to be removed entirely if the level of abuse reaches unacceptable limits.

This is a free service to me from Bravenet; in order to help defray their costs, Bravenet posts an advertisement on the Guestmap.

 

NB. From their FAQ:

Someone made an offensive posting in my GuestMap. What can I do?

Follow these instructions to delete the message and ban the offending IP:

1. Log into Bravenet and click on "Guestmap" in your list of registered services
2. Click on "Edit Messages"
3. Copy the IP address next to the posting
4. Select the checkbox next to the posting, and click the "Delete Selected" button to remove the posting
5. Click on the Back to Manager button to return to your GuestMap Manager
6. In the Utilities area, click "IP Banning"
7. In the Ban an IP Address section, paste the IP and click the "Add IP" button

If you are worried about young visitors viewing nasty messages, consider turning on the Post Approval feature in your General Settings area. This would give you a chance to review messages before they appear on your GuestMap.

 

Is there an option to approve or deny posts before they display on my GuestMap?

Yes, to do that you can turn on Post Approval. This will give you a chance to screen the messages before they appear to the public in the "Review Pending" area of your service manager.

To enable Post Approval for your GuestMap service, please do the following:

1. Log into your account and click on "GuestMap" in your list of registered services
2. Click on "General Settings"
3. In the Post Approval section select "Yes, require my approval before displaying new posts."
4. Scroll down and click on the "Save Changes" button
