Don't Post Personal Information, Once again about internet safety

I thought the following information would be important for LaFans who use internet and message boards like this one. It was posted by the moderator of the AI board:
In Internet spaces where interaction occurs: forums, IM, chatrooms, etc., there are people looking to exploit others. Don't ever give out your personal information to anyone you don't know, and this means knowing them by having already met them in person *before* communicating with them online.

You can stop the potential for exploitation by not giving out any private information (this includes: your email address, your real name, where you live, your phone number, and even such innocent information as what baseball team you play for or what store you buy CDs from). If you are asked for any of this information, simply say "I don't feel comfortable giving that out."

If anyone makes you feel uncomfortable, end the interaction and ignore them if they persist in trying to contact you. If they won't stop, if you are a teen, report them to your parents; if you are an adult, report them to the police. Law enforcement is taking Internet harassment, stalking, and exploitation very seriously and will take action.

Even though this is an "official" site and we go to great lengths to keep you safe, always keep your guard up. If you feel that another member is being pushy or putting you in an uncomfortable situation (such as presing you into an email exchange or an IM session), please let me know and I'll look into it and take action.

As I always say, this forum is a place to have fun and get away from real-world problems. It should never add to them. -- Steve

P.S. A good guide to Internet safety can be found in the publication: "Teen Safety on the Information Highway," published by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. You can read it at http://www.safekids.com/safeteens/safeteens.htm

moved to off topic and stickied... thanks for posting

That's perfectly fine.
However, I think that you as a moderator of this site should post some info on internet safety somewhere on the main page since this is not a discussion topic, but something that everybody should read and follow before using message boards.
