Cause people sent me their pics i’d had them all and was a perve apparently
Do people divulge too much in chatrooms ? ….. No
On the whole, I like to give people credit and say that they don’t, they are aware of the dangers of doing so. People are free to divulge as much or as little as they choose to, and I’d like to think most people have enough common sense to know when and where to draw the line.

But how do you know who to trust? You wouldnt divulge anything said in PM but some do. You only know afterwards. So what do you do? I refuse to change on account of lowlife that dont respect privacy and trust. I trust till im proved wrong. Let me down or betray a confidence, we are done, til then i prefer to offer trust.
“how do you know who to trust?”… you can ask the same question when talking about any stranger, not just in a chat room. In a “real world” situation you get additional info about the person beyond just their words whereas in a chatroom you might have to be a bit more attentive, but either way in the initial stages of meeting someone I think you simply don’t know with absolute certainty who you can trust. The good news is that you can build up a pretty good picture over time. Everybody has their own limit though. Those who trust “easily” have a higher risk of getting hurt than those who don’t, but you can also argue that if you never ever trust folks enough to divulge at least some info to get into a more interesting and meaningful conversation then the level of chat you’re having will only ever remain superficial (which might suit many).
What I would say though, is not to let anyone pressure you into revealing info you’d rather not divulge. If they don’t respect you enough to respect your privacy then there’s something a bit off there to begin with.

Last paragraph spot on geeky……I would also like to say that if someone betrays your trust that same person may not betray it with another
depends on your individual relationships
all said and done we will never listen to anyone else and sometimes we find out the hard way

So, if you knew someone who was going a little too far in revealing things that are private to them-you would warn them and advise them and not take advantage of them to the point it becomes an obsession for the other chatter? Or would you abuse their trust and take full advantage knowing the harm you are doing to the other chatter?
I know what my opinion is on this matter, but id best not divulge it.

Well, interesting responses and some rather ‘ironic’ ones.
I agree with most, it’s up to the individual, when and how they choose to ‘trust’ someone, however the original post wasn’t so much about ”when do we trust people”, but just being careful and not carried away with the flow of a conversation in the Main Room, revealing too much info to lurkers you don’t trust or even know ! It’s very easy to get carried away, just remember there are some real weirdo’s watching……
I divulged I owned a football and a bike that post got pulled I wont be bragging of my wealth here again or addressing ceratin people in case of offence

You’ve only given me 2 options. I would do neither of them. But it also depends on who the “someone” is.
