Im on myspace, my nick is the same as here, same spelling. If I get a request for a friend, I do need to know who they are or I wont add them. I have encountered spam, but was able to avoid it. The thing about child protection was a concern, they have put in steps to help curb the problem, but it is mostly self governed as far as that goes. I also know its a large commercial venue for some companies, for instance the Army is on myspace, as well as is the US Air Force. There are many other large companies that are on Myspace, looking to make you their buddy.

One of the things to pay attention to, is when viewing something that look suspecious, check the web address to ensure it says at least myspace.com in it. If it doesn't its a website that is trying to get some of your personal information. I have personnly seen it.

Additionally, I have seen a few BDSM groups, but not very many active ones on myspace.

Enjoy
