| I fully understand that kids now have grown up with the internet, there isn't the feeling of stranger danger for them than the older crowd grew up with. But we do have site rules in regards to privacy. Age does not matter, they still apply. |

| Jericho, I meant more like an actual guide to help young people stay safe. I think the privacy policy just mentions not sharing personal info and offsite chats etc. There are more in depth guides out there (from charities) written in language aimed at young people, with tips/advice on what not to do |
| Painted Perfection |
| Or kids don't listen to their parents because they don't understand the real dangers |

| Although saying that, I very nearly doxxed myself with a slightly too clear photo of the dog with his collar on the other week xD |

| They're not allowed to. But thats why I feel that kids shouldn't be allowed to be on these games at the ages they are now. They don't have the maturity or world smarts to know and some parents lack teaching kids internet or stanger safety |
| Minerva |
| OH yikes Wolf, that's worse than what I've seen so far!! Really really scares me what people seem comfortable putting on this chat to total strangers |
| Ashcroft Park Stud |
| Maybe the FAQ/game guide could link to an internet safety guide. I’m sure I’ve seen charities putting out guides for people (especially young people/kids) to stay safe online |

| I mean I've seen kids putting their address directly into chat >.> And giving out all that info >.> |
| Minerva |
| Jeri not on purpose lol, it was just said as what I thought was an exaggeration of what you can find out about people very easily when all the kids were giving out scarily personal details. But I've just been on a HEE-unrelated side quest and discovered that it is not an exaggeration |
| Jericho Stables |
| Considering we have minors who play, do not be looking up people's houses... Plus that is a huge invasion of privacy. |

| @Angel can't reason with crazy if they feel brave enough, but I wish all goes well for you and your partner |
| Painted Perfection |
| Min, I wouldn't care if someone showed up at my house. You can find anything online these days. It doesn't take much. And also if anyone shows up at my house from stalking me online..I hope you have good health insurance to cover hospital costs lol. |
| Greenheart Stables |
| @Min I feel like that especially applies to the kiddos of HEE, the sense of internet safety seems to not be as urgent or important to people now a days |
| Angels angels |
| Green Lol but if there is an issue we can just talk to the cops because nothing we are going to be getting is under her name or anything so sje can't do anything about it |
| Greenheart Stables |
| @Angel 40 percent chance I say, coming from someone who had to deal with similar, over property that didn't involve them 😒 |
| Minerva |
| Oh jeez, I don't know if any of you remember me joking about being able to send people a picture of their house from snippets they say on here but it turns out it's easier than I thought to get a LOT of information on people and everyone should be really bloody careful about what they put online because jeez 0-0 |
