That was just a reply to the person who said people were taking a big risk posting WoW info on here. I did not see enough info to warrant the paranoia.
I'm saying giving someone on here your BNet name is risky, as your BNET is tied to your real life info.
I'm mainly talking about people posting journals, with pics of their grow. They are probably smart enough to anonymize themselves to the best of their abilities while posting their journals, but I would have to say they are probably not anonymizing themselves while playing wow or any other online games.
I'm not telling anyone what to do or not to do, just making sure people are thinking it all through before they go hooking up with random people on here.
I'm not here to argue, just offering some friendly advice. Take it or leave it.
Edit: I browsed the rules and dont see anything against posting links over to ICMAG but please correct me if it is not allowed. This is the thread over there talking about it. They do a pretty decent job explaining exactly why it CAN be risky. I'm not saying they are coming to get you, I just want people to use their brains.
The first paragraph does a decent job explaining the technical details of why it can be unsafe.

I'm a pretty hardcore gamer, and I understand wanting to meet up with like minded people. Especially with all the jackoffs out there on xbox live or any mmo. I am not trying to discourage this, just making sure people understand exactly what they are doing. The internet is a terrible thing for anonymity.
