Hello, and welcome back to kawntent sports. This article is a bit more serious and is discussing the behavior that I see on this site that has me concerned for the safety of a few individuals on the site.

I have noticed a large amount of people that have been sharing personal information on this site. People have been sharing their names, where they live down to the neighborhood, and more. This is NOT SAFE on a public site like Fanspo. Imagine one of us Fanspo creators was lying about their age, saying that they were much younger than they were. This hypothetical user could easily acquire enough information on certain individuals to LOCATE them in real life and KIDNAP them. I haven't noticed any behavior from anyone around here that seems skeptical, but it is certainly possible. If you want to try meeting someone in real life, first reconsider it because you don't know if they are who they say they are, and second find some way to discuss the matter outside of Fanspo in a more private manner. And, DO NOT share your real name for any reason. It's not worth it for a site like this, especially if you are under the age of 18. Come up with a clever name, or even just your favorite player and a "4MVP" on the end. This includes display names on the profile.

I won't be naming anyone here to keep them as safe as possible, but you all should be removing personal information that could be used to identify you from this site. It's basic internet safety and you should have been taught about it in school. I hope this is not your first encounter with this advice. Please, if you have shared your name on this site through username or display name, CHANGE IT. Also, don't share where you live beyond the general area, like metro area level. DO NOT share your neighborhood on this public site, or even your city if it's not a very large one.

Please upvote and flame this post if you agree with my concerns, we need to help people to learn about internet safety. I feel that certain individuals on this site may be in real danger or at least at risk. Stay safe everyone!
