There are some people at my school that have made LTT accounts to do 1 thing, stalk me. Some things that I don't like bringing up at school (such as my sexuality) are on the forum. I would love if I could do this.

That's why I don't tell people I am on the LTT forum. I've dealt with the same thing (things I don't want school people knowing and them making accounts), but it hasn't been many people yet.

Keep your personal life off the internet maybe? 

 

Then what's the point of stuff like the LGBT community? That makes this stuff completely pointless.

If you choose to put your personal life online you have to deal with the consequences, and if people make fun of and stalk you for it well either stop, or learn to not care and embrace who you are as a person and take all the shit you get.

 

I would say just don't say who you are but it's easy to find out who people are irl  forums

If you like talking with forum members about stuff you don't IRL, create a group DM or use Discord or w/e 

 

Yes, it would be fantastic if you could retreat to the forum and talk openly but as you have discovered, public information is... well... public. 

 

Also, your suggestion would require you know their username; if you know their username, they most likely have already discovered your content. 

 

Not to mention that they could quite easily just browser the threads rather than your profile to see your content, and you can't block them from seeing that as that would open a whole world of misuse and abuse

You need to be online info literate. Why would you tell people you are on LTT when you post personal stuff there?

It does not make any sense whatsoever.

 

Here No one knows who I am

Here No one knows where I am

IRL No one knows I am here

 

So I can say whatever I want within the guidelines of the censorship rules here at LTT.

but you can view your profile if you're not logged in, it's the same as blocking someone on twitter, it doesn't prevent them from seeing your stuff, only from sending you something from that exact username

good point. do you know how to make an account private?

 

i can't find anywhere to do it.

mods won't care if it's for security reasons. this rule was put in to stop trolls from creating multiple accounts.

That is what I thought, atleast you are honest.

Though 900 is pretty low, you could perform good shit posts and get back up to 900 in no time.

There's choice everyone makes. Either talk things in public places or don't. Doesn't matter if its forum or school or some hobby group. They are all public and every member and sometimes non-members can talk about things they hear there. If someone doesn't want people to know about their doings in open place A and talk about them in open place B, then they maybe shouldn't be talking about things in open places.

 

Things like LGBTQ community are good in general. If anything, they provide support from others in similar situations, feelings and issues. But posting with known nickname or from public location (lets say at school) means someone will eventually stumble with those things.

Is that verified from some mod? I think general rule of thumb is to consult moderation before making multiple accs.
