Trolls posting people's full names on a thread (1 Viewer)

[jane]

That really is fucked up. This guy is something else.

Seriously. Pete, out this prick because his behaviour is starting to concern me. I know he's not the only monstrous prick on Thumped, but he's way out of line.

 

[La La]

who? what? when? where?

 

[jane]

Pete took it down. Thanx Pete.

It was in the LF Berlin thread. Pelviscostello posted someone's first and last name, which was creepy and stalkery. But it was fun playing detective and trying to figure out who he is. Still wanna know, but.

i'm amazed at how much people are willing to share on thumped. posting self portraits, as an example.
most i've ever publically revealed online is my first name, and only when posting links.

There's huge subsets of people here who know each other in real life so secrecy is a bit pointless.

I'm not too bothered about people on Thumped knowing who I am, or even what I look like, but I wouldn't be keen to post my second name on a forum, mainly just because of google searches.

There's a really old post from the archives -- some dude who was looking for me -- that you get if you google my full name, and I wish it weren't there, but it is.

I also have the mixed blessing of a name that is shared by only one other person whose name comes up in google searches, which means I try to be a wee bit careful.

it's not keeping secret from the people i know i'd be concerned about, it's keeping secret from the people i don't know.

 

[flashback]

Its good having a name that's a bit of a bastard to spell, so when people post it up they usually get a letter wrong.
Eh Large Hearted Boy? Eh?
You big troll ya.

 

[cephalopod]

I know he's not the only monstrous prick on Thumped.

Who are these monstrous pricks? I wanna get to know them.

 

[Squiggle]

In fairness to Large Hearted Boy he used his real name (firstname and surname) as his username for quite a while. Brian Conniffe still does. Very brave.

I would have used my real first name but it was already taken.

 

[cephalopod]

My real first name is Ciaran, but its a bit boring. Because of different things in the past, I don't ever give out personal details in public on the net anymore...its a permanent record.

 

[Corey]

I'm fucking huge.

 

[shitepipe]

I'm fucking huge.

you're bigger than that corey

Something like this has happen to me this week. My full name, and in the same paragraph, "aka 'screen name''. Still waiting back on and edit of the page.

 

[Pantone247]

Janer used to do this too, it's real bully boy stuff

I'm fairly *meh-heh* about my name being banded around, mostly it's folk I know and just assume no reads most of the shit we talk anyhow...

though I wouldn't post a photo of myself up...

I don't think all the girls on the board could handle it

 

[jane]

I don't think all the girls on the board could handle it

Nah, I always wear gloves. Go for it.

But yeah. Obviously, my first name is my username so that's no biggie, but I figure the internet is a pretty big place, and if someone wants to know stuff about me that badly, they probably won't learn anything off Thumped that they wouldn't learn from me in person or from stuff I've written elsewhere.

It's a bit like being listed in the phone book. You don't mind your number being there because some people might look for it, but you wouldn't want it written on every bathroom wall in town.

Because believe me, it might seem like a good idea, but it ain't.

what happened?

 

[jane]

what happened?

I'm only speaking hypothetically, like.

I hope it's never happened to me. Although I do get a lot of wrong numbers for someone called 'Joan', which initially made me suspicious. Eventually, it turned out that there's someone called Joan with a number that's one digit different from mine. I was getting loads of calls for her for a while, and I'd just give them her number. Now I can't remember what digit it is.

There'll be no fairness shown to that bollix. In fairness.

Brian Conniffe is not a real person though. He is more stuff of myth. He has long since given up on his human form, and now exists only as energy.

This is how he moves about through time. You didn't notice that? The references made to him on the Bayeux tapestry gave the game away to me.

Brian. (On the right.)

Hahahaha, just as well there is no-one else in the office in the moment otherwise I'd have to try to explain the joke.

Brian does currently inhabit a human form, and I like to pretend that he's my friend because I think it makes me look cool.
