In case Patrick's announcement wasn't clear: DO NOT SEARCH FOR YOUR IRL NAME

If you do, you have given it to them.

Some People already did

I wanted to search my own username so I just searched a bunch of other peoples names too lmao

Oh fug why would you do that

@Why Tea Why does that work actually? Does it log the searches somewhere?

If you have to, use ctrl+F

"Hey, let's take a look at the web server logs for the search page."

Shhshshshshhshsh don’t mention that you searched it in the chat

Mandatory internet privacy classes when?

Look at what I said @Lawrence of Eurabia

You basically just made a direct link to your name and username

@The Eternal Anglo Yeah unless they turned logging off it would.

my name?

People here really use their real name? 😑

can they see when you crtl f

It's *possible* they have some situation where they're not logging what gets searched but if it's an HTTP POST to the search app then yeah that request is usually in a web server log file. Like almost always.

They could also have the search program log the requests.

I just changed my email two days ago 😅

Wait who searched what

Let’s not say where we mess up

Seriously

People for their own names

On what

Stop giving info too

Unicorn Riot

Hello my name is Samuel Hyde, I live at 123 Fake St, Anytown USA

Yeah, just dont search. If they have something they have it. No use checking to see if they do and possibly confirming your identity

Yeah, if they're still watching & in here DO NOT SAY THAT YOU SEARCHED.

Let’s change the topic

Search what?

You’re all being irrational

Except me.

Just stop talking about it and let mods handle the situation as it unfolds

Let's change topics.

So...how about that Andrew Yang?

It's on our minds. No harm in talking about it imo

It’s causing hysteria

It’s not productive

Bring it up with Patrick at the fireside

It really is all in our minds. The moment has passed and stressing about the situation won't help us at all.
