I've been meaning to ask. We all know I have little knowledge about computers and stuff. How do you tag someone? I don't know how to do this. Thanks. :)
Just hit @ and start typing the person's screen name. A list should come up on the lower left corner. Select the name, and it should fill in. When you hit post reply, it turns blue. Give it a try! @betty rose

I have to ask... how is anyone going to pick anyone out if they don't have a full name, an address or any other significant information necessary to locate you? There's a lot of people in this country, do they go door to door, starting at the tip of Maine, until they find someone that they recognize? Pictures are not a problem. Even some personal information is not a problem as long as full names, addresses or numbers are not used in the posts.

For example, I live in Raleigh (area). Even if I posted my picture, there are 2 million people in the Raleigh area. What are the odds of my being found? If I were to publish my street address then I would have some problems especially with women stalkers. It's a curse I have learned to live with.
Smart people find ways.
From finding your IP address to locate the area, to try to hack into your accounts (like amazon store..etc..)

Anyway, for most trolls... The real damage is not in real life as in "GOING TO YOUR HOUSE TO PUNCH YOU".
They would seek to ruin your reputation, steal your money, sabotage stuff..etc..

For example.. by finding your "footprints" online, they find that you got fired for being drunk or used drunks when young.
They can invent some magical story and try to get your boss to fire you for something you did years ago.

Also it could also involve harassment (like finding your phone # and make prank calls or even death threats, subscribe you to very dirty online magazines, call your relatives with some bull rumours and histories to make them look bad at you, etc..etc..)

I actually have never been to the one at Disneyland, so can't compare, but the WDW one is super tiny inside! I just scanned the room and then went to sit outside on the patio, since there was no wait. Here are a couple pics of what I ordered (Hawaiian Poke & Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Rum and my view of the fountain:

Then wouldn't just posting on here, no name, no address, no connecting numbers give them the same opportunity to connect with those things. It would have to be considered a "footprint" wouldn't it? There may be a bunch of pictures, but, it is unlikely that they are linkable. I'll take your word for it if they can be, you're the expert, however, it would have to be explained to me, in detail, what kind of David Copperfield magic it would take.

Obviously, anytime you use the interwebs to record your CC numbers, addresses or other things like phone #'s you have put yourself at a higher risk of someone getting that information and using it against you. To post a picture on a discussion board, I would think, carries very little, if any, risk.
