I want to make certain profiles "read only", so only I can change them. This should affect also tree members. I read everything in the help section and didn't find an option to do it. I even tried blocking a person, but that didn't prevent him from doing more changes. This problem is driving me crazy, I spent all this time and effort and now every time i open my site i'm afraid of what changes i will find there. Thanks, Maya

  Not really.. as once you invite other people, it becomes a shared tree.  However, a block should be able to prevent specific people from editing profiles you manage.   According to the block page: "Prevent specific users from contacting you or performing actions on profiles you manage. Blocking a user also removes them from your family groups."  If the profiles are under the age of 13, then you can limit editing to yourself on those profiles within your account settings.  http://www.geni.com/account_settings/managed_profiles  

  If someone is vandalizing profiles by adding material known to be incorrect, deleting correct material known to be correct, or adding offensive material to the tree, that would be a breach of the terms of service of Geni and can result in a closed account.  Curators can assist with this if it's a clear case of someone intentionally destroying the tree.
