Announcement On Online identity, and the Internet

[Pirine]

Thank you for addressing this finally. Its horrible what happened and I would like to make sure there is as little chance possible for it happening in the future.

 

I also hope there is a way to be more prepared to deal with things like this more effectively in the future, I feel as though we should all take what happened as an important lesson on how we use the internet. Its just sad it had to be taught this way.

i'm surprised a lot of the "always here" users missed it actually...things have just been very weird lately. 

 

sadface already replied. they dont but sadface does

 

i thought the whole BT thing was messy, this is actually a mess.

onehallyu in general has been messier than usual

[TickleMePink]

i thought so too, but another user told me there might've been a second one but they weren't sure. it'd be so random though cause i think that user's main and chantage's main got into some sort of argument that lead to...that

 

I wasn't here for the doxxing(thankfully), but it's nasty what some people do

nsfw2 even self banned (probably in fear they'd get doxxed too)!

I figured they self-banned because they seemed done with the crap that happens on here

It's been pretty messy since the summer

Can Sadmin pls implement a safety filter for links. Someone could easily set up a hacking link that you can click on and the hacker starts from there. The one who was doxxed clearly stated they didn't share any of their personal info with anyone on here but they could've been tricked into something like that just like what happens on Twitter.

I joined at the end of August. You mean it hasn't always been such a mess?

i wasn't here during summer, thank god. but onehallyu definitely wasn't the same as it was when i decided to take a break in june

It was actually fine for the first few months I joined (Jan-May)

After that it became pretty bad imo

 

I'm not sure how OH was before I joined though

onehallyu was chill(er) in 2016 but it crashed a LOT and then there was this huge crash and the server went down for over a month and after that not all users came back and some users joined and it was just...a different vibe i guess

Thank you for the post. I hope it helps to reminds people to be more careful with the information they share.

If youre ever suspicious of a link, you can run it through this site to check for any malware.

Yeah, I tried to join OH during the time it crashed.  I kept thinking there was something wrong with my Internet and that's why I couldn't access the site.

 

It feels like OH really changed when August came.  A lot of new users were coming in and so-on.

I don't see most of the people I saw when I first joined :o

Thanks this definitely helps. 

 

People should be more careful especially when clicking on shortened urls. Some urls are easily bugged. I've seen someone in the 18+ section post a link directing to a site filled with malware and I reported it. 

[starsocks]

Thanks for handling the situation and always keeping OH a safe and community friendly place sad.

 

We all really appreciate it, always.

 

Stay safe everyone x

[Catlixle]

omg some of ppl on winner's thread knows my face lol but again, they came from the same region of mine,hopefully they are kind enough to not spread it

Yeah for sure. you just have to be really careful of which links you click on cause you never know. When I was a dumb kid thats how I ruined my first computer lol.

location tracking or something?

i think it has to do with fandoms too. now a days, most onces stay in the main thread while before they were the most active fandom in the recent section. it happened the other way around with armys. most exo-ls migrated to aeriverse and a lot of fans of smaller groups also got annoyed and left.

 

Honestly i blame the lack of variety in fandoms, it feels like most users here is either a once, an army or an exo-l and even as a once, that's not fun at all to me

[MILJYU]

nvm seems they were, that's good. i kept hearing different numbers on how many ppl were doxxed. ppl rly take things too far, its sad that the little things you share w ppl on the internet in trust can be used to reveal more about you than what you wanted. where's the fun in making ppl fear their safety?

more and more, i'm starting to think that the amish were right

[Pirine]

For what happened to my computer? No I think, if I remember correctly, it loaded a bunch of malware onto my computer and bogged it down so much it was unusable. I dont really remember though, I was like 7.

I never really thought about it, but yeah it seems there's a lack of variety.

I've noticed there's a lot of fans for other groups, but like you said with Onces, they tend to stay within their fave's threads

nsfw2 even self banned (probably in fear they'd get doxxed too)!

 

no wonder the good sis self-ban.

that's frustrating.

thanks for telling us
