ORIGINAL: freedomdwarf1 Personally, I wouldn't put anything on a public profile that could even remotely point to me or single me out in any way. I do agree. I would remove the band name, and just call it "vocalist of a music group". If you want to share that information, it is good enough to do it with personal messages. It gets worse once a band gets recognition! I don't even share this kind of information upon the first few messages. My question was more aimed at whether it was bad because of an.. Advertising products sense. I don't mind if people know this kind of personal info, they're welcome to it, as my interests aren't a secret in real life. So was your suggestion based around it being against the rules, or about it being perhaps a little too open? Possibly a bit of both. We have seen a swathe of Mod activity at times that doesn't always make sense; hence the naming of the band where you say you are the vocalist. Theoretically, you could be singled out and hence that would be a violation of ToS as it would make you individually identifiable if some nutter really wanted to find you. I guess that's where CM is trying to protect people by saying it's against the ToS to have any identifiable info on your profile. So that is where I would err on the side of caution and be slightly less open. As for the online gaming, I don't see that as a problem at all. Just as many other players are online in any one of shed-loads of online games, you aren't really individually identifiable other than as your role-play character. There are enough nutters out there in the real world without helping some of them to make you their personal target.
