Here's some ways to not come off as a creep online:

[b]Do not: [/b]Theorize about users interests, personality or intentions due to the "research" done previously, without ever having interacted with the person. This gives the impression of being curious about the person.

[b]Do: [/b]Ask the person about their interests, personality or intentions. Start a dialogue about personal opinions you have found previously and disagree with. This gives the impression of being curious about the topic.

[b]Do not:[/b] Obsessively research other person's toenails, address, real name, or other social media profiles, even if they are public. Do not attempt to join friend groups, chat rooms or other social gatherings uninvited. This gives the impression of being obsessed in a specific person.

[b]Do:[/b] Research relevant topics for the context. If you need more information, be sure to first get in contact with the person via official channels at relevant times. This gives the impression of being obsessed in a specific topic.

[b]Do not:[/b] Defend "the right of" creepiness in it's forms; stalking, obsessive behavior, unsolicited social advances, breaches of privacy. Especially do not do this in form of a protest sign with all caps letters. This gives the impression that you are defending your own actions.

[b]Do:[/b] Defend people who were called creepy, not the behavior itself. Be sure to start a two-sided dialogue with the person you disagree with. This gives you the impression of a person who cares about the people affected.[/quote]
[b]Do:[/b] Research how to shut the fuck up and stop acting like you are above everyone you basement dwelling cretin

Hopefully you’ll find this helpful. Feel free to ask questions.

I know it's annoying when new users come and tell older members how to do things - But I'll stop that thought right there. Nobody cares about your status in the community if you're being a creep. (also using appeal to tradition on this issue will make the community look very bad)[/quote]

OP i will find out where you live ([b]creepy[/b]) and rig a piano outside your front door to drop on your head looney tunes style ([b]not creepy[/b]), pancaking your body and replacing your teeth with keys from the piano.
