@M2nc4s If the "Risks are too great!!!" what do you recommend people do? Not disclose anything online?
I think that the idea is that we all learn more about internet safety and then we can make our own judgment call?

I agree. Allowing this kind of spam in our forums provides a revealing lesson in Internet safety
For more information, look up viral marketing.

@MistyMagic I think that being aware and considering these factors is great. I feel like the tone is suggesting we not share personal info though, which seems odd considering the nature of this site - it's all about disclosing personal stuff in order to seek support.
I think it may be good to examine the purposes of some of the other things not about seeking support here. Fun things that aren't really support based but are more in terms of getting to know people, lightening the moods etc. that do disclose some information. I'm not totally opposed to them, but should we really be encouraging people to share things which might allow others to more easily identify them? Someone providing such information without being prompted is different than someone being asked for the info IMO.
