Hi, I think there is something really important to say about and to the minors here. English is not my native language and I suck at writing long things in english, so if you see any mistake, just tell me!!
And, this is going to be long and a bit heavy.
I've been seeing more and more of you, minors, exposing yourself to much on internet and for god's sake, please, DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!
I think all adults here were ignoring it, like I was too because this is not of our business, this is not our responsibility, it's your parents responsibility! But only today I saw 2 posts containing personal information of players that are minors and I had to write this. Please, don't put your personal informations online, be it name, age, location, or even your traumas. I know this is a place where you feel safe and seems that there is no harm here, but you don't know it, neither do I, nor the ADM's. Yes, improper behavior/posts will exclude by the ADM's if they see it or if reported, but that does not change the fact that this is a public domain on internet and ANYONE can see what you post. So, anyone who enters the site, not necessarily a new player, will probably see those personal information you shared, and you don't know if they are good nature people.
When I say there are bad people on internet, I don't mean only pedophiles, because there are MANY other ways of harming someone, especially a child/teen. Even other minors aren't as good as you think. It's not because they have the same age as you that they cannot hurt you. Some people think it's funny to use what you hate or like to hurt you and don't really have a reason for doing it, they just want to harm you. I know that because I was a teen once and most of the psychological problems I have today are consequences of my friendship with people of the same age I had back then.
So what I'm saying is that no matter what you think you know, you actually don't know anything at all. You don't know if everyone here isn't bad, you don't know what would they do with the informations that you've shared. I shared about my mushrooms phobia a couple days ago and I know that exist a possibility of someone using this information to hurt me. But I know what I said, I know how to protect myself and how to act if this happens. You, minors, don't.
Don't act all "I'm old enough, I can take care of myself" or ignore it because you hate listening to adults advices, because when you get to 21 or older, you'll look back and think that maybe you weren't mature, old or smart enough when you thought you were.
I'm sorry for this boring lecture, but this is really important. You shouldn't share your personal information online because people can use it against you! You don't know when or how, but this might happen one day if you keep exposing yourself. Please, protect yourselves, for god's sake!!
This is just an advice and I really wish you would listen to it and protect yourself, please!!
If this posts goes against any rule, please tell me and I'll delete/change what it's needed.
