User blog comment:KCCreations/Staying Safe on Wikia/@comment-1251315-20151111134111

The "Be Aware of What you reveal" is such a big thing imo. And there's the common misconception that, because Wikia doesn't accept screenshots or pastebins of chat discussions, that the chat does not have to follow the tou: it does! It's a wikia service and it therefore follows the TOU.

There have been users on some chats who think that they are above the tou and don't have to follow it: those users are the worst, especially as the tou is a binding legal contract and those who flout it should be banned appropriately.

Another issue is those who dont' seem to notice the "Block PMs" button. I educate all users on the wiki's I manage that, if someone sends you something that violates the policy or tou, you block their PMs and ignore them. I cannot count the number of times that users have been banned for a PM conversation: unless it's a super serious violation, then just block their PM's and ignore them. >_>

Good blog post though :D
