Charlie, I gotta' say, I do like THAT idea quite much. Perhaps a simple, "Jeeze, people, this IS a public forum. You mightn't want to post your face all over the place, if you're gonna' tell yer name."
if you're worried about your safety, just don't say it on the threads, or say it through PM. like what estelore does. she never gives out anything that could allow someone to find her, unless someone guesses it (like anna), and even then it's through PM.
*chuckle* The Morf-man pays attention.
My policy is pretty simple: Only give the first name if they guess it, if you REALLY trust them (after a nice loooong scrutiny), or if you already know them outside RAF. Absolutely NEVER give specific location or contact information, no matter how much you trust them. NEVER post pictures in any PUBLIC location. Don't tell your age unless you're old enough that it doesn't really matter (at least 18).
Don't give out family names or information. Don't tell what school you attend, unless you're at university (because then your enrollment becomes public domain information, at least in this state).
Hey, Richard? Isn't there a post requirement for being able to read the e-books?
Just for the sake of curiosity, is it POSSIBLE to set a post requirement for the General/Life Boards?
If not, it certainly isn't going to bother me.
