It occurs to me that Cris could write a blockbuster book about managing internet forums. Dramatize all the worst of it (you know who they were), add a few non-descript pictures and get on the NYT bestsellers list.

If you need any graphic or shocking stories hit me up :dance:

Profit!

It's cool man, we all love you and appreciate you. Even if we don't always say it.

SL in particular seems to attract a certain brand of crazy. I know someone who runs one of the largest clubs in SL, and she regularly has to have people banned for various reasons. We traded horror stories, and for her, someone sent her a Google street view picture of her house. I know those feels - I had a picture of my bedroom window posted. People are insane, and I think now covid has made it even worse.

I had something similar happen to me. The guy parked in front of my house and msg'd me pics of his genitals.

What's worse was they weren't even attractive genitals!

Husband's personal 12-gauge anti stalking protection and a drive-by county sheriff settled it quickly.

This was an online person?

I am shocked they could even find you.
He was almost-local, which was part of the justification he offered for stalking. Since then I've been much more discrete about posting photos from my city and neighborhood. I wasn't always this brainy. :D

Yes, in SL. He convinced himself that he was enamored with me and wouldn't surrender his delusions.

Funny how convincing the sound of a 12 gauge racking a round can be.
How did he get your RL info?

It is actually very easy if you know how. One way is to get their IP address then do a geolocaiton look upon it. That will give you a general area where you are, sometimes even better. If you did a geo look up on my old IP address it would have put you in my front yard. My current home ipaddress will get you to the gas station down the road. If they know any part of your name, and if they are determined enough, its just a matter of time to find you.

This is why I always use a vpn. Not because I'm doing anything illegal, but to keep myself physically safe from the random internet whack job. If someone did get my ipadddress, easier than you think, they would be searching for me in Chicago.

I keep media disabled to stop IP leakage through SL. I also don't use my real name, but a fake one (Besides Noodles), spoilers, sorry if anyone find this that cares about that.

Wow. That doesn't seem to work here. I get ads from different companies that point me to various versions of south jersey and a suburb of philly within 20 miles but that only narrows it down to a few million people. I make that much info available publically.

Not a reverse lookup, but a geolocation lookup. I mis typed that.

I frequently mention I'm in Alaska. If anyone's that hardcore that they want to knock on my door we've no shortage of firearms to greet them with. 😈

There is a lsl script that does this if the person has media on, it has been going around for awhile, it is called the scary door

LOL sorry I sort of killed this thread. Carry on.
If it is any comfort, I think a review of the thread will reveal I was the one who killed it.
