How much information is to much?

How much information is to much information to give out.
I was wondering, because I have seen a few profiles where people will lijst the city they live in and even their personal e-mail address. Now I believe most of the members are good people. But I know that predators watch web sites like these to find victims. They can be very good at manipulating people. Online they can be anyone of any age.
How can we help each other keep themselves safe? I think there is information that should only be shared with someone u trust. How about u guys,any ideas of suggestions. Better veilig than sorry.

^Some people may be able to hack your email, and even locate where u live with it.

Thanks for all the coments. Earlier I saw a young girl who had geplaatst name, home pagina address, emai and facebook. That could be asking for trouble. I am hoping that this might help someone rethink what info they give out.

I only put my state. Never my e-mail address. Ages are okay I think. I don't think that your age is going to help them much if u leave out other personal info. I don't see any harm in saying... "Hi, my name's Delilah. I'm 19 years old. I live in Mississippi, USA." I would never put my personal e-mail, phone number, of other similiar information. I hope this helps you. Just use common sense and u should be fine.

Age, first name of some nickname and country are fine.
meer than that it's kinda dangerous..
But people are free to put the amount of information they want.
If ends up bad for them, it's their problem, not mine.

u definitely have a great point there.

I think sharing that type of information is too risky. One time I stated what town I lived here. I think I even geplaatst my address and phone number there as well (Yes, I was that sort of dumb at the age of fourteen).

Other uses warned me about the number and address, so I deleted those. The town I eventually got rid of once realizing the danger within it.

I definitely agree with you, we need to be careful about posting certain things about ourselves on here.

Cause if Fanpop has idiots here (And we all know there are some fools here, not accusing anyone...), then why not pedophiles!?

For me i think giving out your e-mail adress would be one, giving out your age is ok on any site including facebook.
especially giving out your zip code should NEVER be told, thats the easiest way sexual preadtors can find you.
the country u live in is ok to be said.
giving out to much information will likely have someone track u down and kill you.
and never give out the town name u live in, i wouldnt want some stalker following me everywhere.

I think your first name, maybe even your last, would be okay. Your age probably isn't going to hurt anything. Your state would be fine, and maybe even your city, but no more. I wouldn't put my address, phone number, e-mail address, of any other information of that sort on here. No matter how much u trust someone on the internet, there's always the possibility they aren't who they say they are. I trust just about everyone on Fanpop, but people who aren't a member of Fanpop can still see your profile. You're right in saying that we need to be meer careful.

I think age, gender, your first name, and country u live in are fine. Anything much meer than that is taking a risk, I think. Putting down your full name down of even the city u live in is a bit risky. u should only share that information with someone u truly trust, and never, even if u trust the person wholeheartedly, give it out without a fight.
