Argonath | Spread of personal information | Are we safe in The World of its Own?

[[NP]Monte Montague]

I expected more maturity from a server owner. I was impressed by Gandalf's post, but your post is taking the piss.
We are not safe in "The World of its Own", there can be no argument about it. There is always a few people who will do things like this. A community is made through the people it, and the minority can affect it, as in this case.
Leon made a mistake, and tried to help other people by posting on this forum. He knows he was wrong, and he suffered for it. There is no need for you to be so critical and defensive.
I totally agree with Brad, I know it sucks but Argonath would be under scrutiny if anything happened involving members of the community.

He didn't share it publicly, if I read it right. Someone else made it public, he only phoned them.

This is a world of its own, emphasis on World of its own.

FYI: You're the one taking the piss.

You cannot say the Owners, Managers do not look to protect against cyber bullying / protecting data, such as e-mails, *sarcasm* I'm sure Gandalf has found a # of buyers for my e-mail address.

Metal decided to give his phone number out, he should face the consequences alone and should not say Argonath is terrible because he made a mistake. BESIDES, how hard is it to change your number?.

You have to love both Aragorn and Gandalf, as well as Legolas, and Sauron if you're going to stick around, they're 1 team, The Owners, not "Owner a, owner b, owner c...", you have no right to pick and choose , Aragorn would treat you probably the same in real life, even if it's a world of its own, you're in the real world, and he's much more mature then anyone else around here.




It's common sense not to give any personal data out unless you know these people for real, even then it can be risky.



Metal, from what I've seen in many months you do not give a damn about Argonath community, just yourself - this thread is fine example , so why should anyone care about you??  Don't start blaming The Owners and there property for your lack of thinking, they let you come here to have fun, they did not tell you to provide personal data, so why do you think anyone else should get it?



Maybe you should apologize and realize your mistakes.

I dont think he is trying to blame people, more warn them not to make the same mistake as him. No sense calling him an idiot after the fact. especially since you don't really know this person. People make mistakes and he has learned from it. What your basically saying is. I could give you my phone number, then you went and gave it to a bunch of random people, it would not be your fault because i gave it to you? I'm sorry buddy but thats not how the law works. And dont even tell me you never trusted someone you met online.

If he wants to warn the others he should stop thinking of himself, and should drop his blame on the owners, and Argonath organization.  I really don't believe "he" cares, my evidence is countless amounts of times he's upset people.

Difference is, I accept consequences of my actions and any trust I may place on people. He's trying to make a big deal out of it for no reason. Hurr.

[Pandalink]

You only have yourself to blame for trusting people you don't know. Idiot.

Excuse me, but I have a problem with this shit.
Just because a person has not met the person in real life (in person) does not mean that they do not know them. I know some people in Araatus far better than I know a lot of people I've met in person.
Stop being so narrow minded,

Idiot.

Hopefully this incident will be a lesson to all young people who carelessly give away there details, even giving your name can be too much, in the world of google.

He didn't "carelessly" give away anything. I'm starting to think you didn't even read the post.
Go ahead and do it now, just so you can look at your post and see how silly it is.

Don't start blaming The Owners and there property for your lack of thinking,

He didn't even blame the owners.

If he wants to warn the others he should stop thinking of himself, and should drop his blame on the owners, and Argonath organization.

Again, he didn't blame Argonath or the owners.
Stop trying to score points, Curse. It's insultingly obvious and just makes you look a fool.

Hurr.

Quite.

Although I do not have the time to read over all of these pages, after skim reading over the first post I can see Leon had given out personal information in a restricted part of the forums for emergencies and someone leaked out the number, maybe accidentally or not, but I do not see how Leon posting his number on the forum lead to it leaking out, as he said the guy read the number out on Teamspeak.

But anyway he has a point, personal information such as place of schooling, place or residence or even suburb where you live should rather not be given out over an online game for safety sakes, especially not a phone number. Some people may think its funny to go and post another persons number up on random sites like 4chan, but honestly think before you do things like that, the repercussions can be dangerous.

[Caltson]

And so, The discussion thread of 2011 had begun...

[Ben.]

He gave it to one person, which is not being careless. The person who read it out was careless.

[rJCaiG]

Panda, I'm not saying that he may not "know" the person, but I meant to say that he should give out his trust very rarely and make sure he is fully aware of the implications of giving out phone numbers and other personal details on the internet. If he didn't want this to happen, he wouldn't have put it out there at all, to anyone.
There are people on Argonath who I feel like I know better than some of my closest friends and I trust them tons, the main one being Uberpwner, so sorry that you misinterpreted what I said but I definitely didn't mean it like that.

[MrFrancis]

Heads up

Think before you act (includes giving a phone number for emergency matters)
Always know the ups and downs for it. Know that everything may not go out well as planned, like this situation. If they still keep on texting you, I suggest you change your phone number as soon as possible.

[Leon.]

The troll got trolled? About f**king time.

The "troll" period in my Argonath time was brief when compared to the rest of it. I've dropped such habits with the start of the new year, mainly after a talk with Frank Hawk, and realizing how it's affecting my ability to communicate, have leadership skills, and most of all, gain respect. In case you weren't around during this period, I put the words "Retired troll" in my personal text, mainly to publicize the change in my etiquette. Of course, I will fight fire with fire if need be. If you wish to bring up the recent past, then that is fine by me, but you will not be deserving of any sort of acknowledgement from me if you do so.

He's trying to make a big deal out of it for no reason. Hurr.

In case you cannot read or were not obliged to read for some reason, GiacJr, I believe I have made it clear that my incident is not that big of a deal, but it potentially can become that big of a deal, which is why I let the public know.

[SafetyMoose]

Using his own experiences to warn others is the decent thing to do. Shows he does not want others to suffer the same consequences as him. Giac you cant seem to understand that this is a warning rather then a cry for attention. As an ex-admin i would hope you would understand the need to protect the community members from such things.

[Pandalink]

If he didn't want this to happen, he wouldn't have put it out there at all, to anyone.

That's like saying that if you didn't really want to get mugged, then you wouldn't have gone outside.

[Oliver]

That's like saying that if you didn't really want to get mugged, then you wouldn't have gone outside.

"If you didn't want to get bullied in school you shouldn't have even gone to school in the first place you moron."
"If you didn't want to get beaten up, you shouldn't have been such an ugly fucker to make others want to beat you up."
"If you didn't want your mother to die you should've researched on how to cure cancer."

I can totally imagine GiacJr saying things like that in real life.

[Sago]

I know some people in Araatus far better than I know a lot of people I've met in person.

[Pandalink]

explain

[Oliver]

explain

he thinks you're an antisocial twat
or he's just feeling happy so he's smiling
