Has anyone ever been stalked because of participating at TVCH? I just wondered because sometimes the info shared is often personal and it is easy to let your guard down!

I just wondered...

Deesandy, I've never had a problem with stalking and I guess I'm one of those who put out a lot of information.

My main concern right now is are you having problems with someone? Please PM me if you are, you know I'm kind of close with one of the mods. LOL

Inspite of the fact that they are all axe murderers, I'm still intact, but then I haven't come across any of them yet in person - I think.

Seriously though, if you are having any kind of problem do contact someone at TVCH who can help, i.e. a mod (or someone sleeping with one ).

Been stalked at my office, but that was through one of those on-line dating sites......<small town desperation!>

I have to be more careful here now that I've moved. I actually have students and colleagues who are into reality tv, and could be reading the board.

You can block email messages if someone is pestering you. Or let the mods know, and they can....well, ban them or send them to their room without any tv or something.

If it gets bad you can always call the police.

Or move <said with a wink, but it's a sad thought>

Hey all,

No, I haven't had any problems at all. I just get paranoid sometimes!

I was stalked by my mailman when I lived alone and was in my 20's...a long time ago!

I TVCH and was just wondering about it. I often speak without thinking and often find my foot in my mouth is all!

I'm so glad you aren't having a problem, Deesandy. We just tend to worry about each other.

TVCH has sort of evolved over the years. In the early days we had less moderation and more, uh, highly spirited exchanges. Some people back then had some stalker-like problems, and there were indeed some people here who would use personal information you posted to try to scare you or get you upset.

My personal feeling is that TVCH has evolved into a tamer place, and we would probably now be too boring in most of the threads for a true stalker to get a thrill out of harassing any of us or even reading a lot of the threads.

Uhhhhhhhhh ... not that I am calling anybody boring ...

zzzzzzzzzzzzz ... lol ... I think I just put myself to sleep.

I've had lots of experience with Stalkers, but none from the board. Don't panic - my maiden name is Stalker - really. All the Stalkers in my life are related by blood and are actually very harmless.

Deesandy~
I'm glad you aren't having a problem with an actual stalker. I'm a worrier myself, so I understand the thoughts that can swirl around in your head.

Citruscitygirl,

I dont' think anyone's mind can be as nutty as mine is! I was just thinking that now that I posted something about stalkers, some stalker may decide to stalk me because of it! LOL...

I will just reiterate that while almost everyone here is what they represent themselves to be, it is easy to play a "character" on a messageboard. Just as in real life, you should be always use a reasonable amount of caution in divulging personal information, knowing that it's easier for someone to pretend to be something they are not online, than it is in real life, so additional caution is wise. Personally, I share very little private information on the board because of my experiences, and will always be that way now.

Hope that helps!

I've been stalked (email only) by someone on another board after I criticized his artwork (speaking of Blegh!). I put a block on his email address as soon as I found out how to do it. At first I didn't know such a thing was possible. By the way, it was a moderator who was doing it.

Stalkers should mind their own business :-)
