Further to a question posed by Milly143 earlier, what would you do if another poster got hold of some of your personal details and started displaying them here without your consent ? What would you expect to be the course of action for the person doing this ?

anna...

The one that seems to happen fairly often is people posting links to photobucket albums that are in their real names.

Most of us put bits and bobs of personal info on posts that anyone determined could gather and find out more about us.

I locked mine down the other day.

[ummmm]

And some people hack FaceBook accounts....allegedly..

[mike11111]

Can I ask which state you hail from, Cowtipper?

[ChuckFickens]

Can we take a guess? :)

I'm going for Michigan

[follyfancier]

why are some of you putting personal details on an open forum that can be read by anyone ?

[Cowtipper]

Illinois. That's posted here somewhere.

[Answerprancer]

I can't speak for those who do Follyfancier (great name btw) but I guess everyone has their own personal comfort zone when it comes to personal info - I don't think there's anything wrong in respecting that.

like you Pinki, I don't give a flying fart, people know my name and I haven't hidden it, that doesn't bother me one bit, they have seen my photo in an av, what would bother me is when someone would be deemed to put up personal stuff of any nature, that, to me, is the pit

[anneasquith]

ap, i try very hard not to post personal details on this site.

[Bobbisox]

<pits>

[mike11111]

No. no. no. no. no, Cowtipper. If you wants to dress like trailer trash you has to move down to Mississippi, or at least Tennessee.

[anneasquith]

ummm. i have no idea what thread you are talking about ?

[Cowtipper]

White trash isn't geographical unless you look on a city scale.

[ummmm]

There's your answer Anne....thanks Trim...

[anneasquith]

great !!!!!

any info I have on my facebook is pretty much available to anyone here who really wants it. As you can imagine, I was pretty peeved when some clown tried to steal my user name and started posting some rude stuff (i'm guessing 'cus they were removed) so if someone was being deliberately malicious I wouldn't be happy, but then I don't think anyone on here would really be bothered enough to do anything with it!
