Title: Different Alias?
Post by: Euphoric Status on April 20, 2012, 12:36 pm
I'm more of a RC guy but I just started getting into SR. I like to keep/build an online presence, but I'm not sure if I should keep my RC alias and SR-market-type alias different, if you know what I mean. Adds to the security. What do you guys do?

I would use a different alias if there is even the slightest possibly of your existing one being tied to ANY IRL details about you at all. Simple safety, and you cannot be too careful the way things are at the moment with TFM being shut down etc.

Don't reuse alias' from clearnet or let anybody know who you were

Ah... that's what I thought, thanks for reinforcing that idea.

I'll keep posting on this account but I'll make a new one later on today (unless a staff member can change my forum username).

Just ditch this one and get a new one, you have already given out some linking information.

Very true, thanks. I plan on making a different account a little later, as I haven't done anything illegal.

Best bet mate. From your posts so far LE would know that you are a seller of RCs on Euphoric Knowledge and your approximate location/time zone. Best to err on the side of caution.

Understood. Thank you all for your outstanding support, I can already tell SR has a strong community.
