What another announcement from Sabbi so soon?! Who would have thought it!!
In honor of the discussions currently ongoing (assuming they aren't forgotten because of disaster relief) at my school about internet safety, I'd like to take some time today to discuss internet safety with everyone here! :D
Although HPRPG is a close-knit community and we all feel like we're good friends here, please keep in mind that in most cases you don't know the person on the other side of the screen you're typing at. (Those of you who know each other off the site at school are the obvious exceptions, though I hope you won't take advantage of each other either. ;))
Please keep your personal information to yourself. Do not tell anyone your full name, your address, your phone number, or any other information that could identify you in a physical manner.
Do not assume everyone on this site is your best friend that you can tell anything to. We have no way of screening our members, and it can be super difficult to judge a person's real intentions through the filter of technology.
Be aware, have a care, and don't open yourself to unnecessary risks. If at any time you feel uncomfortable with something, tell a Prefect, Head Student, or Admin, and tell your parents! Adults, this goes for you too, though maybe you should contact some other authority figure or your local law enforcement instead of your parents.
It's better to be overly cautious about something than to be taken advantage of, and if something someone says or does makes you uncomfortable, you need to tell someone. No one should be made to feel out of sorts in the least by our community here. :biglove:
Thanks for helping us make HPRPG a safe and fun place to be!
