Hi, you all.
Proboards offers some privacy settings which I advice to turn on, since you never know whos looking with you. You go to their privacy tab by pressing on yout profile --> editting profile --> privacy
First things first. Make your profile viewable for "members only". Most of the spammers, trollers and criminals dont care to register. Meaning your usually safe for them.
E-mail visibility. Does anybody needs to know your e-mail? Members wont use them, same for staff. Who can use them? Spammers. Sadly you cant fully turn it off. You need to turn it to "staff only". Otherwise e-mail gatherers might add you in their database and spam you with trips to paris or something. The staff team promises to never use your e-mail unless you want to use it yourself.
Also a fake e-mail is recommended, not only for this site but for all gaming-related stuff you use. Since some sites spams with things like "you havent played for some time, play now!". And mostly, you dont want that in your original e-mail.
Also your original e-mail is usely name.surname@gma.com or something, it reveals your whole identity, do you want that?
And ofcourse all standard rules like do not reveal your location, identity, pascode etc..
Hope this helps!
