Re: Just be cautious
You should always stay anonymous on forums imo. Always use a nondescript email, preferably a Hotmail or gmail account which has no name in it. So never use an email like
JohnSmith@gmail.com. Always set up a new email specifically for things like forums like say
jibberjabber@gmail.com.
On any site you register, check if you are required to verify the email address. Most will require it. Some however don't require it when you change that email address, they only require it on first registration. In those situations always immediately change your email address to something fictitious, i.e. an email address that doesn't exist.
Any other info they require, just make it up.
Always stay anonymous.
