Would you leave your front door wide open?
Would you hang up pictures of yourself in a public place for anyone to see?
Your email address?
Your school?
Even your phone number?
And would you hand all of these over to a complete stranger?
The simple answer is no - you wouldn't. But you'd talk to friends online, wouldn't you?
Sharing out your online profile is the same as doing these things. Giving people your facebook, myspace, or other profiles online is the same as handing out all these things to a stranger. Without even posting your address, it is not hard to find you through your profile. People can pretend they are your age when really, they want to do nasty things to you. Would you give photos of yourself to an old man on the street? How about sending your picture to someone online?
It's the same thing.

Re: Think You Know?
Exactly-Personal information is called personal for a reason.Not because monkeys chew your bananas while you're asleep.It's not because cats can play ping pong with their tails.And it's not cause elephants are stamping around Frook's garden-it's cause it's your job to keep it personal.Yes some of you might think "Go to hell it's my life!" Well some people look out for you,these people are called moderators and admins.If someone is telling you not to share personal info and they are not green or orange,they only want you to be safe.

Re: Think You Know?
That, ladies and gentlemen, is the perfect reason not to make a facebook profile.
Really, people claim to have what, 1-2k friends?
This trend is getting on my nerves.
Sadly, kids today dont really understand the dangers lurking on the internet.

I've lost my pieces.
Re: Think You Know?

And most of us mods are over 16, and modded because we are sensible and trustworthy... this is more aimed at the younger kids who don't understand the dangers of telling everyone everything.
