Hey, everyone! I'm Monique! Your forum boss lady. LOL. Welcome. When I thought of creating this community, I knew immediately that I wanted a section for safety...which is essential. I asked Mrs. Robot to draft up some tips for us! Here you go and feel free to add on, whether it be in this thread or starting your own! Thank you and let's have some fun!
Be cautious about sharing personal information online, such as your home address, phone number, or financial details.
Before sharing personal information or meeting someone in person, verify their identity through reliable sources or platforms.
Trust your instincts: If something feels off or uncomfortable during online interactions, trust your instincts and take necessary precautions.
Report and block: If you encounter any suspicious or harassing behavior online, report it to the platform administrators and consider blocking the individual.
Choose public venues: Select well-known and public locations for meet-ups with people you are meeting for the first time.
Inform others: Let a trusted friend or family member know about the meet-up details, including the time, location, and expected duration.
Meet in groups: Encourage attendees to bring a friend or arrange for group meet-ups to enhance safety in numbers.
Plan transportation: Ensure you have a safe mode of transportation arranged before and after the event. Consider using a ride-sharing service or carpooling with trusted individuals.
Avoid excessive alcohol consumption: Be mindful of your alcohol intake to maintain awareness and make informed decisions.
Emergency contacts: Keep emergency contact numbers readily available and program them into your phone.
General Safety Tips:
Build a supportive community: Foster a culture of trust and support within the community, where members can look out for one another.
Educate on consent and boundaries: Promote discussions and workshops on consent, personal boundaries, and respectful communication.
Provide resources: Share information about local support services, helplines, and self-defense classes to empower community members.
