in a joke forum, when someone does something foolish like sending you their address and photo ID, you should post a serious statement warning everyone of the perils of sending your identifying information over the internet. maybe something like "attention everyone, when you send someone your address they are able to look it up online. please be careful about sending your information over the internet."

what you should NOT DO, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, in a joke forum, when someone does something foolish like sending you their address and photo ID, is post a joke like "i saw ur house on google maps"

It scared me, when the BYOB mod went "Oh hey, person who's been calling me a bad IK in chat, I know where you live "

also, before I go, I noticed someone said something about being annoyed by the influx of a lot of no-content unfunny threads, but I was under the assumption that this was the entire purpose of the subforum?

how is somebody who is literally supposed to be a trusted member of the community using your real-life information at a later date after you have fallen out as a way to get one up on you, and then probating people who bring it up, minor?

it's chill to use information given to you as a bargaining chip to stop people from making fun of you in the chill forum.

Huh. A serious issue, used as fodder for thread spamming histrionic jokes.

At first I was pretty sure it was just a joke, then I was informed it wasn't a joke, but a legitimate serious problem. But then the issue was still presented in the format of a joke. If there is actual proof behind the accusations, then it is shameful that it is being dealt with in this way.

The forums posters who are concerned should reconsider their attempts to promote their cause, if they want to gain allies instead of alienating people.

I really don't think it's anything. I don't know if WMS really feels scared or not. If she does, she is being silly -- Arnie is not stalking WMS and not going to do anything to her. WMS willingly bought something from Arnie, outside of SA via Paypal, and Paypal emails you seller information when someone buys poo poo from you, including the address on your CC.

Google Maps is a global database of address information. Arnie didn't track anybody down, he just looked up an address from someone that bought something. I've done that tons of times at my work. Maybe you're bored and want to see what this company's offices look like. You gave them the location, so it's not tracking down a location.

Anyway, the only weird thing at all is that he mentioned that he looked it up. They're saying it was some implied threat, but I don't read it that way. They're treating it like Arnie hired a private detective to hunt down WMS's address, but she handed it to him, then went 'I'm scared that Arnie knows my address, after I gave it to him.'

this whole incident has nothing to do with WMS, and is instead a vehicle for people to be as obnoxious as loving possible. give it three days and nobody will give a gently caress anymore, including WMS.
