+ 60 SHUT THE HELL UP!!
I’ve seen some boneheaded posts lately that harkens back to the old days on eroids. Perhaps it’s time to go over again what should be common sense.
KMC and I used to try and guess where and who people were based on the seemingly harmless posts peppered throughout the site. All together they would paint a picture. How old you are, city or state of where you live, car you drove, marital status, number and sex of kids, school you went to, military service, what ball teams you support, where you were born, etc, etc…
If you think it’s a joke I’ll give you an example(facts have been changed). Over the period of 6 months a user with the handle BFG posted that he was in the midwest, supported the Twins, was 45 years old, and referenced a high school in Canada. He was married with 2 kids and a dog and drove a GMC.
I subtracted 18 from his age to figure out his high school graduating year. I looked up the yearbook from the schools website (and classmates.com) and perused the pages of the seniors and found Billy Franklin Gates. A face book search for Billy in the twin cities area showed me pictures of Billy sitting on the tailgate of his truck with his 2 kids and dog.
Many of you LOVE your handle. You use it everywhere. Again, a Google search will show me everywhere you’ve posted and sometimes leads me again to a social website like face book or eHarmony.
My suggestion: SHUT THE HELL UP!!
…You might want to spread a bit of misinformation around.

Totally Agree, I had to learn the hard way when i used my gaming profile on my swingers website some time back..... Yea made for interesting sex encounters known as Gods Wraith on a swingers site.... (WOW) LMAO
Hopefully "Gods Wraith" is not your real old gamer tag or you just did exactly what Greg said not too.
will said
thePhoenixThis is so true. The final sentence summed it up right there. "You might want to spread a bit of misinformation" Privacy is a hard thing to come by these days.
This is good to know!!!
This hits close to home also if you have tattoos blank them out. I found out the hard way how easy it is for someone to find and harass you just from your tattoos. Now I have some fucktard trying to blackmail/harass me on Facebook. Seriously people have nothing better to do nowadays
Since this is from 2013
I'd add
Do not take UHD pictures. Guy was busted in England from a photo of his fingerprints, on a beer glass that he was drinking from.
Yes also when you take a picture it attaches your location to it so make sure you have an app to remove your location from your picture and make sure your phone privacy settings don’t allow location for your camera
We scrub the Geo-tag when you post it here
Good to know, this is really important.
Just read this. I was wondering about that. Appreciated obviously
Just turn off your "Geo Tagging" in picture settings.
I live under a bridge, and steal my WiFi from the Waffle House.
Yep you can also track people down with the meta data attached to their post not all the time, It depends on the site and security.
I operated one forum, before the new leaps in security and had to block most of the IP address in China.
Hahahahaha
Funny but it is actually true.
This is becoming a bigger and bigger problem. We live in this age where everything is on the net. Social media has taken over. Im still surprised at some of the things people post. Then how one site can lead to another and to another.....and so on. People are becoming so used to entering and storing info in devices and on web sites/apps its 2nd nature. Just like there are criminals that use this to steal from you, the flip side is also true your city or towns LE has someone surfing around seeing what they can see....
Woah! I never thought of all that. Great insight though
Damn that just creeped me the hell out. Message received .
never gets old........
ha ha priceless.......
HAHAHAHA!!!
Never gets old lol
I know exactly what hes saying i have some home work of my own to do on my self i dont want to get caught up. From a newbie
Uhm, how about no. Come to my damn door I dont care. Im a free human being and I dont give a damn about what the lunatic goverments in the world say. Im doing what I want to and not harming anyone so if anyone wants to interfere with me and get in my way they will be put to punishment and I dont care if they have a badge or a gun or a little hat or what.
Ok.. let's see how tuff you are when they put that "COLD STEEL" on your wrist & your talking to your family through a glass window!!
Cajun
or even worse they cant visit and your writing letters.. idc how tough you are thats no life
Call me a noob or whatever, but.... I don't get the point. Shut the hell up about what? Who they are?
He means about you personal info.For instance,say you use the same name in all your social media and then talk about shit you like to do,places you like to go etc.... Others, including LE can easily find out who you are.So...., shut the hell up!
The force is lacking in this one.
Dam your a fucking detective... I never thought about stuff like that +1
P.S.
Now you can run all of your apps thru TOR and if your internet provider blocks TOR use VPN and TOR. I've found pretty good and free VPN. "Turbo VPN"
Bump
Wait... BFG is a twins fan??? Smh... The deception lol
A few years back this post made me google my handle. What I learned is some poor guy has a match.com with the same handle. By no means does his dating desperation represent me. Also, there are too many shawns, Sean's, and Shaun's in the world. Some male and some female, and one either deviated from Van Halen's ou812 to 0712 because they fell a bit short of eating one as well, or they have some other reason...
But regardless of any of that, I never really got into van hagar other than that album title, and people should shut the hell up more.
This works really well,............ it even fooled one of the Mod's once,........
... got a PM from said Mod, suggesting we meet up because we lived in the same city,............. I actually lived 1800 miles away from misinformation city.
Your freedom is your's,.......... try not to lose it.
MOD: All right. Where do you live? The battle of wits has begun.
KMC: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
MOD: You've made your decision then?
KMC: Not remotely. Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.
MOD: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
KMC: Wait till I get going! Now, where was I?
MOD: Australia.
KMC: Yes, Australia.
Have heart.... thats racist..... were not all crims, just most! Haha hence why i moved to new zealand with my cousin petey.....
was that not the bit from the "princess Bride"?
Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
Inconceivable!
great post,deff.a good board alote of positive feedback and help here.
This was a really great post. Sometimes we forget the times we're living in and the technology that surrounds us. We get to comfy and lacks but we should all stop and think about what we post before we post it. I at times forget where im at and have to watch what I type and let be known. It serves us well to be reimformed of what we should and shouldn't post. Safety for each and everyone of us is key. We all have lifes outside of this community and none of us want our outside lives to be affected by what we chose to be involved in. Becareful and stay safe brothers because I don't want to get cought up in nothing nor do i want to see any of my brothers and sisters on here either
thats how the cookie crumbles
@Greg, Spot on.
elbowPmsl some a us just dilligaf .......cornwall UK elbow do your best.......fyi unless you got access to UK pig files n interp cunts you going have a challenge here xxx pushing arms the wrong way to collect debts since 1996 hence the elbow as that where they go crunch lol ........good boy now though xxxxx
Your dialect , but mostly your caustic attempt at humor has gotten a little old.
or dont post pics, leave reviews, and admit your on steroids.....
Good info Greg. insightful to some, and remindful to others.
This should be common sense. ( or maybe not) Why would you be so discriptive about you and your life? Social media and search engines makes it easy to
"creep" emails, numbers, acronyms are all bread crumbs. love this post man!
Very informative post. Thanks
DoktorhemorrageWhat is wrong with you? Clown
