Dear r/phlgbtr4r Community,

We trust this message finds you in good spirits. With our community expanding (we're now more than 23,000! that's crazy), it's crucial to reinforce the principles of online safety and mindful interaction.

Lately, we've noticed instances of members reporting of sharing personal photos with newly acquainted individuals on either on Reddit chat or via messaging apps (Telegram/Viber). While we encourage social engagement, we strongly underscore the importance of caution, especially regarding the exchange of personal information.

Key Points to Remember:

1. **Privacy Matters:*\* Safeguard your privacy by refraining from sharing personal photos or sensitive information with strangers.
2. **Verify and Trust:*\* Invest time in getting to know the person you're communicating with before divulging any personal details.
3. **Report Suspicious Activity:*\* If you come across any suspicious behavior or receive unsolicited requests for personal information, promptly report it to the moderation team. However, please be aware that if personal information, including compromising photos, has already been shared, our capacity as moderators is limited. We can only block the individual from participating in the subreddit. For further assistance, consider reporting to Reddit directly.

Your safety is our foremost concern. Let's ensure r/phlgbtr4r remains a space where members connect responsibly. Should you have any concerns or queries, don't hesitate to reach out to the moderation team.

We appreciate your cooperation in making r/phlgbtr4r a secure and enjoyable community for everyone.

Warm regards,

Your Subreddit Moderation Team
