Just a reminder:
It might pay to be vague and/or cryptic in posts if you are extremely worried that certain people might see them and you don’t want them to (friends, family, etc), especially if you absolutely don’t want said people to potentially identify who you are through your posts.
Once you put something on the internet it can be very difficult to remove it, if it can be removed at all. People can take a screenshot of webpages on their phone and computer. And they can save your pictures. People can choose to post this on other websites.
A general rule is; once it’s online, its there forever. You can delete your posts here but sometimes they end up on archive websites anyway.
Don’t post anything here if you don’t want others to see it. You could make a private post I guess but then the admin could potentially read it. So if there’s anything you really don’t want others to know or see I suggest you keep a book/diary, well hidden of course, so nobody else reads it, and write stuff in there.
The reality is… there is alot of rubbish lurking online. Creeps, predators, really, anyone you could imagine… they are lurking. That includes this website.
This might get deleted, I don’t know, just trying to give out pointers.

Very good advice.
I hope you haven’t had a problem with this…. But yes I do my best to at least veil my identity a little bit, however I’m sure that close friends would possibly identify the way I write. I don’t think they would get enough to be certain though. I also hope that they are unaware of SP anyway.
You forgot to add that anyone can reverse image search pictures here to find where else it’s been posted online.
