There are bots and lurkers here with bad intentions. Just takes a couple of post with vague personal info to narrow it down.

This state, that city, I work as, my sister, etc.

Basically did it myself awhile ago and the admin saved me.

Be careful.

I tweet under my real name, and if I see something I post on here, I'm shutting the fuck up.

I would suggest reporting any instances of self-dox to the admins. If it's a minor instance then a comment reply may be appropriate (as a reminder to them and any lurkers), but it can also draw more attention to it. If it is more major, or you feel like they are giving away too much info across multiple posts, it's probably better to messaged admins if you don't know them well, otherwise it comes off pretty creepy ("Hey, I'm pretty sure I know where you live and your job..." out of nowhere)

A controversial idea would be to white-hat try and dox people, and hand information off to the admins. I don't like it, but it also kinda makes sense.

A built in auto delete would be good /c/feedback

What's up, my name is Chrome, I live in an animal crossing island currently inhabited by a monkey, a family of racoons and a weird dodo. My goal in life is to obtain small hole-punched leaves for a living. Wish me luck.

You hurt nobody by putting out false identifying information as well. Especially contradicting info.
