I've noticed there's been some cases of members adding other members or staff on social media (of any kind) without their permission. This can be potentially dangerous, especially if it's something private (perhaps a Facebook) where personal information is. Yes, this is the internet so we must he responsible and protect ourselves but it's different when someone can just find you and think it's okay to just add you/message you or whatever.
Now if you are good friends with someone, you can talk to them wherever you want. But to just add someone on Steam without their permission, follow someone on Twitter without their permission, etc. is different. We have message walls and staff have ff.net accounts. If we wish to communicate outside these means that is our choice, but at least ask for permission. Someone asked me to add them on Facebook but after they already spent hours trying to find me via search.
As human beings on the internet, we can be all over the place. Be it another wiki, Discord, some other vs community site, or Google Hangouts. However one should ask permisso before even considering of doing so outside those barriers.
This worries me because we have cyberstalkers already "patrolling" our wiki and I find it weird that this is happening but no one brought it up yet. This isn't just one person doing this.
What do you all think about this?
