2008-05-14 - Hebrew and Hungarian added, new message rules
We've very excited to add Hungarian and Hebrew to the ever-increasing number of languages XIHA Life is localized into! Special thanks to go Anna for the Hungarian translation and Tiina for the Hebrew. We still have a little bit of work left with the Hebrew version to fully support the right-to-left reading direction but the navigation is fully functional.
To counter the recent increase in attempted spamming, we've introduced a new simple rule to messages: you can't include email address in a message if the recipient is not your friend. Makes sense, right? If you don't know the person, don't get directly into personal details. The reason we're doing this is because what spammers and scammers do, is they try to get you to contact them directly outside of XIHA Life - using email.
Here's a piece of advice to everyone: if a stranger approaches you and asks you to get in touch via email - don't do it. Often these messages give the impression the sender is an attractive girl looking for true love, and sometimes they hint about chances of getting rich. But let's face it - if you don't know the sender, the sender doesn't know you either.
So if she talks about love (or money) without knowing you, chances are it's not real! First get to know people in the safety of XIHA Life, and only share your email address with someone if you end up developing a closer relationship and learn to trust the person. So from now on the attempts to share an email address with strangers will automatically be marked spam!
