Just following on from what happened today am curious about this... over the last few weeks there have been lots of different threads about what people are doing , who they are seeing or are not seeing anymore..where they were etc... . is this giving away too much about ourselves.. should we be more cautious...

just curiousity on my part... i for one have given away far too much and will no longer do so... its sad that the info is used against you but it seems to me that its the way CS is going in the last few months...

would like to hear your opinon if u have one... wave

wave yes BB I think your right, i am surprised sometimes at the amount of personel information that is given out, i am also concerned when i c pictures of children on peoples profile...

I know that sometimes we forget there are 100's of other people reading the forum's, and dont post, after some of the crap thats been on here i would be very wary of them having 2 much information teddybear

Yep BB I think most people do give away to much information.... I dont post in the forums much anymore apart from in 'words and ears'....the longer I am here the more private I have become speaking openly only with friends I know I can trust ....and thats because of the constant stream of idiots who regularly appear hiding behind fake profiles. I trust very few people on here now. Sad really.

This is exactly how I feel too. I have become very suspicious of everyone and am even wary of replying to mail unless I know the person. It's not a nice way to feel. I too have stuck to the word games and Ears because of all the ridiculous behaviour. It is sad but it's a fact I only trust a couple of people here.

Hi BB wave
I totally agree with you on this. I am constantly stunned wow at how much private stuff people put up on the forums! Anyone can view the forums, even if they are not members.
I am very private by nature. I never put up any part of my everyday life up for all to see. That is just me, and my choice! I don't mind contributing with funny/strange stories in the past that have happened me, but I would never name anyone on line.
Also I find some of the threads quite tedious, I don't need to know who just had a "poo" every day etc laugh but again that is the persons choice to post what they like, my choice is not to read it or answer it if it does not interest me. BB your thread interests me and I totally agree with you....bouquet

LusciousLibra: What'd I miss

Oh LL crazy day girl!
All good now, fake was outed.
That's about it.
Am having a twix and a cuppa, relaxing after a hard day of bollixing online.
Perhaps I'll tell my lifestory, surely that wouldn't be giving away too much.

eaglespass: ya ur right but id never let out that info on forums.. anyone thst does is plain silly..


glad to see you have some discretion thumbs up
I guess basically anyone can post what they like, once it is not offensive, but then trying to not offend everyone is harder than trying to eat sand laugh
The bottom line is that we have a choice not to answer it or read it...
but it would be way more entertaining if interesting/funny threads were put up more often instead of some of the much being posted lately

i think everyone has a different opinons and views and no matter what the threads are..some people will like them and some will not...if you like it-get involved,if you dont-go start your own or dont reply on it...

its a site to meet and chat,and even the most simple things can start a good chat between people on the forums..hence there purpose..

as for giving away too much..i think after the events today,il deffo be more careful about what i say about myself,as the person today knew alot of stuff about people,and was almost like they had met everyone..but who knows..

il be more cautious anyway myselfthumbs up

Going back to what SDB posted, herself and I have discussed this before (off site) and we would both be broadly in agreement that people sometimes are far too open on her about personal goings on in general.

While the beauty of a site like this is that people can reach out and make new friends and contacts under a degree of anonymity, we need to be careful in what else we expose on site like this and to whom we make it privy to. Like where exactly we work, what our kids names and schools are, where we are off to for a pint or a meal tomorrow, who we are dating etc. Certainly, it is done with the very best of intentions in the main but it does leave us exposed at times. Literally anybody can be reading the site at any one time and personally speaking, there are times when I look at what some people post here and cringe at how much they tell about themselves (And on occasion, others) to site users who are in effect absolute strangers. Think of it like this, we'd not post up our phone numbers, addresses or bank details. There are other personal details that we should all try and be a little more careful about who we tell it to, that's all I'd say.handshake

Losty: I understand totally what you say, girl. We all can do it at times; it's just a case of thinking about what we say before we click the post reply button.


that might make forum reading a lot more bearable alright wave

I can understand your sentiments.
To be honest, I'm feeling very disillusioned with the place.
Like honestly, wondering who's the wolf in sheeps clothing.
But like, it was no-ones intimidation or encouragement that brought out MM's rage, she/he/it is just an absolute looper.
What galls me is that it could be a double profile, someone I trust and talk to on here.
Although I don't think you can disguise that kinda stupid.
