How can I block access to MySpace. My 14 year old is obsessed with it and my 17 year old went to meet a 30 year old she chatted with on "her space". I want to block access to it so they can not access it anymore.

Check out Net Nanny or some of the other programs like it. I believe you can set up a white list of web sites they are allowed to view. I know some of those applications block chat and personal information.

you cant block access..but you could do stuff to get banned
but youwould have to do some bad stuff and make people mad
like go in the forums and post in both myspace (customizing and general) forums about the same question/thing over and over
or post some illegal (not like "law" illegal) stuff
just myspace illegal. why not go to their Terms and Policies at the bottom of the screen and find something to violate. That is your best shot.
that way you could get banned
there isnt a way to block, sorry
you would have to get banned
i am obsessed too, but it isn't that bad, but sounds like your daughters are too irresponsible to be on there, it isn't bad if you know what you are doing, but in your case, I would do the same thing

you can block it, but they will go to another one, I would call the police about the 30 year old guy, that is why Myxpace has a bad rap, do something about him, he is a predator. try to make the kids understand your feelings and fears about the internet, and help to educate them on the dangers, they can get in just as much trouble at the mall if they don't know any better

There are programs you can purchase like NetNanny that you can control to some degree what can be done. Check with your local CompUSA.
But if you block it at home, they may just go use it at a friend's house.

Bad idea... you know if you do that they're just going to find another site that's similar, and there's hundreds. And they'll be angry at you and therefore make even more poor decisions. They'll probably just start using Yahoo! 360, or something. And you won't block Yahoo! 'cause then you can't ask questions like this.

Instead of blocking, you can keep daily checks on their profile, and also get them to change to a private profile, where they can only communicate with their own friends.

Tell your web browser to block all cookies to myspace.com... then they'll never be able to sign in
