[quote="RASCZAK"]Ok I Think its needed to be said.. If people are choosing to join Whatsapp groups and Discord ETC.. Dont be shocked if people find out your real identity etc especially if your mobile number is linked to any of the big social media sites/apps.... which is a requirement on these sites/apps most of the time. Ive just had a tonne of verbal abuse of a fellow player all because i called him by his real name which Ive come to find out wasnt public knowledge nor did the individual want it public but some STALKERESQUE players have decided to become sherlock holmes....... I tried talking to the individual but he became very upset and logged off.. I found out his identity through another player who has searched his number via social media (probably out of curiosity) as the individual is a really decent guy and respected in the soma community.... The concerns are real because the games just starting to pick back up with new players and recurring old players which is win win for the community but theres a issue when it comes to Privacy with these apps due to Children playing the game and the potential of bringing personal RL issues into the game.if there was any sort of personal data breach.... YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR REAL LIFE AWAY FROM SOMA THEN DONT JOIN ANY SOMA RELATED GROUPS ON SOCIAL MEDIA OR THROUGH AN APP. LOGIC.. Im keeping names Hush hush but let it be said.... I think it needs to be Officially addressed by the Gms as a Warning regarding the matter with a do so at your own risk.[/quote]

[quote="THANCRUS"]out of respect. I wont[/quote]

[quote="MUSASJI"]I feel like this is completely obvious tbh, also who gives a shit?[/quote]

[quote="VALASI"][quote="MUSASJI"]I feel like this is completely obvious tbh, also who gives a shit?[/quote] It is obvious, but some people would still overlook this due to lack of common sense ... then be upset by someone obviously knowing their real name. I speak from experience having seen someone kick off before haha[/quote]

I speak from experience having seen someone kick off before haha[/quote] exactly my point n what i experienced..... I just feel a warning thread about this issue should be addressed so no one can complain about it in the future.. if the warnings there then it is do so at your own risk.... just thinking about future players.... the old school community all know each other so i guess we are all used to each others personalities... new players wont be.[/quote]

[quote="GHOSTLORD"]Welcome to the internet. o.o People should be given a class in school on how to deal with this rather than a GM on a free game trying to teach people. Someone asked me for my Whatsapp once. I was kind of shocked really, didn't understand it. Don't want it either, I can hear my phone blowing up already. If I'm ingame, I might do a warning shout. But I won't go as far as making an official thread about it.[/quote]

[quote="THANCRUS"]thanks ghostlord[/quote]

[quote="BL00D_SHOT"]Wow[/quote]

[quote="STRELKA"]Such a non-thread, hah. It's perfectly possible to play the game completely anonymous and without involving any RL details in it. If you want to involve your own life with the game, you can choose to. But you don't have to. Youcan also do discord completely anonymously if you want - fake email and no other information required. It's literally common sense 101, and I don't understand why it needs to be a PSA, or invovle the GMs. Should probably tell people not to download and install unknown .exe files, or click on porn adverts too.
