What is too much information to post about oneself on a public forum?

[Bahama Mama]

What is too much information to post about oneself on a public forum? Everyone is different of course, and some people are notoriously private, while others are alot more open about themselves. What could be considered crossing the line, if such a line exists?

[easyskanka]

:icon_arro That which you have so eloquently spoken of in an earlier posting.You gave good advice in that instance.It would be unwise I think to ignore such sensibleness.

However if the moderators haven't picked up on it,then discretion must be the order of the day.

Address
Cell/Home Phone number
Work place
Sex Life
Favourite positions
Giver of head etc.

-Adress
-Cell and Home Phone #
-CC number
-How much one makes (even a range)
-Amount of money one has in the bank (even a range)
-Things relating to inheritance
-Sexual History (i.e number of partners, sexual acts, etc.)
-Criminal Record (if one has one)
-Any matter currently being petitioned in court
-If you are a juror (There would be a legal gag order, so that should be obvious)
-If your under police protection, any information regarding the crime investigation that you are assisting.

[Twinkie]

BH I think a criminal record can be posted here. Afterall we want to know the type of people we are consortign with. Salaray not really as important as if the person were say a convicted rapist.

[icuucme]

ppl <like myself> post thier cell# on TJ when they selling stuff

[Greatis]

hmmmm am i missing something. Point me to the thread

A person's criminal past, which hopefully has transformed into a crime free present doesnt have any bearing on discussions in a forum such as these, at least in my opinion. Unless however they are making public admittance to having committed a crime, particularly one that is in the cold case and is severe in nature. That is a different kettle of fish.

Other than that a reformed convict would ony face a barrage of judgement from other posters.

[tahtah_4755]

The information u share in a forum depends on the nature/type of forum that you are a member of.. For example if it is a sex forum sharing info on how many partners and favorite postions etc. wouldn't be considered too much info!

[Sexysophie]

I think it depends on the persons recieving the info.

Cause one person can be comfortable telling how many partners they've been through but not everyone will want to know. This sometimes is a turn off.

Good point. Assuming they are living a crime free present. However, a facade could provide that assurance, only for more criming to gwaan.

I don't necessarily agree with this section of your statement BM! One or two might make a comment in passing,but on the whole most CY members are pretty tollerant of each other's weaknesses.:)

[Bahama Mama]

I am not necessarily referring to CY, but any public forum of the like.

[Bahama Mama]

It is amazing how some people dont answer the question posed in the first post. Mind you I have been guilty of it before I am sure, but this.....

[Greatis]

it's rather left up the ones discretion. Personally Sexual practices and financial infomation are not suited for a forum in my opinion. Hmm next thing too is nature of current relationships if it's going well or not. Personally I don't even think that one should announce ones partner on a public forum.

I absolutely agree with this one. When there is trouble in paradise, keep it in the hut IMO!

The purpose of this thread was to find out from fellow posters what they feel is appropriate to post and not to post on a public forum concerning themselves. Most of us have a line we wont cross. What is your line Malloc?

Bwoy I am forced to agree with this point. Afterall, at the end of the day the discretion fall solely on the person posting.

E.G. I had no problem letting people in here know that I was taken by someone else in the forum. It served a purpose, I wasn't disrespected and neither was he...:eusa_ange

I agree with you.... Personal information eg. relationships can be stated if in fact the person is a part of the community. I am surte that not one of the males on this forum would like their gf to tell them that they got a message from a member. That goes fort he females too. Personally i think that we should post:
Telephone #
Home Address
Work Address
and if possible your Entire Name.

Why not???? What if in your opinion you would like to get advice of members sho u think are worth listening to? It should only be fair that you ask for advice.:eusa_ange

[bernie]

as for me, it really depends on the context of the forum and also the poster. i have posted real personal stuff here

So I guess that's a prime example huh ?

:dwl: :dwl:

[Cocoa]

I think it depends on the nature of the forum to draw the line at how much is too much. Otherwise, I believe if the person is comfortable with voicing their personal lives, then that is their liberty, however, I don't think a rule should be laid down on how far one should post in reference ot their personal lives.

Personally, intimate details and intimate numbers (SSN, etc) I will not post.

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww ..lawd! TMI!!!

PS. Some things we just no want to read about.^^^

[dtgo]

if this what the 4rum is asking i would like to give my take

when ppl brag about their life too much (good or Bad)

i think thats too much darn infomation:eusa_naug

[Arch_Angel]

Some forum rules prohibit the sharing of personal information. ANd they would give examples of the kind of information that they consider personal. So in that context, the forum rules protect you.

Some persons who are new to forums and chat, do not know the risks about sharing personal information. It doesn't matter the age. This is where concerned members would let them know that, that kind of information might be too personal to share. To let the member know what they are getting into.

And as persons mentioned, certain forums allow or encourage you to post personal information. Like your car details, sexual preferences, what clothes you wear, where you live, etc. Would be up to your descretion on how the forum administor would protect the information you provide, if any at all.

Understand the risks involved when posting personal information on a public forum. This isn't a closed community. Everything you post here is being indexed by search engines. Google, yahoo, msn to name a few. They index these forums 24/7.

If you don't mind your cousin's best friends brother or the guy down the street know about what you post online on a forum, then post away. As long as the forum rules doesn't prohibit you from posting personal information.
