How much do you trust people on Forums?

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

I think most people are just as trustworthy online as they are offline.

Yeah, same here.

Also, I'm pretty trusting of people, especially if I don't know them. I usually believe that people are being honest. For some reason. I don't think I start doubting people unless they give me a reason to doubt.

Probably a bad way to go about things.

I am pretty much the same. I trust everyone, it is only when they give me reasons to doubt them that I become suspicious, whether offline or not. People can lie to you either way, the difference with online is that you cannot see their face.

That being said, I always believe in the best in people, whether or not they deserve it. Sure, it might open me up to pain, getting hurt or other problems, but that is something I realize. I would not be me, if I did not believe in people. It is simply how I am and I do not regret it.

TRUST NO ONE.

Over thirty?

I'm too trusting of a person, but I can safely say I do trust a few members with some life issues or secrets implicitly.

Well, I try not to put too much trust in people online or offline. But, I pretty much trust everyone. Even though I have to get to know them before I put anymore trust in then then I already have.. But even then, you still wouldn't be sure if that person is really trust worthy.

Alright. You found me.

I'm really Devil [wo]Man.

When I played Starcraft on B-Net, I said I was 1200 years old, my name bas Blue-Crab, I had a sexual orientation that would be confusing to most humans, and that my closest living relative was dead.
(SPOILER)Didn't fool anybody

I support Devil Man's childish quest for online amusement and dream of creating a new and insane virtual identity in an effort to escape from the real world.

Because I understand these things about the internet, I don't consider "trust" in a person's identity to be remotely an issue. Of course I don't trust who any of you are.

But I trust that you are human, that you are responsive, and that at least some of you think clear, creative, interesting, intelligible thoughts, and that's what matters on the forums, whether you're a boy, girl, liar, old man, tiny child, atheist, Catholic, Commie-bastard, capitalist pig or whether you are any one or more of those but claim to be somebody completely different.

(SPOILER)Devil Man's persona was shifting all over the place near the end. He/she/it had lost the initial enthusiasm of posts that earned Ciddie nominations, and fluctuated to the point of being entirely drained of energy, like he/she was just trying to crawl out of a mud pit. That dying act, that passes as some kind of a prank, was more of a request for a mercy kill. The mods, as evil as they tend to be, showed heavenly mercy and good will towards their fellow man when they exacted their mighty pink powers.

Talking to people on a message board is like mingling with strangers. There's only so much you can learn that way. If I talk to people privately (on IMs etc.) I'd probably trust them after a while. Probably not otherwise. It doesn't take much to lie to a bunch of strangers.

[Bowser]

I don't trust them and I don't NOT trust them. Well, I guess I trust them until they give me a reason not to.

And 3. Something none of you actually know.

Of course we do not know something we do not know. You already said that we don't know the following three things, so to reiterate once more that we do not know something is completely useless. Thanks for playing the game. Please try harder next time.

I didn't care about Devil Man. The personality portrayed by the person, or persons, using the account was not entertaining in the least bit.

As for trusting other members of the forum, the answer is an ouright no. I talk to none of you on a regular basis and even if I did, the chances that I trusted you in any way would be very low. I trust very few of the people I actually do talk to on a regular basis.

This topic brings tears to Devil Man's beautiful sexy eyes.

But yeah, I trust some people, but only after they have proven themselves trustworthy.

I don't trust some people, but I feel safe enough with most people. Except for Phil Bernstein! *looks at Phil*

Doesn't matter, it's only the internet.
