3. Watch out for other players.
It is important to watch out for other players in a game. If someone is trying to harass you or if someone is saying or doing something you don’t like, you need to let the game’s support know.
Don’t try to handle it yourself or try to deal with it on your own. If you are being harassed or if someone is saying or doing something inappropriate to you, let the game’s support handle it.
4. Keep your username secret.
You should keep your username a secret. If you have any friends who play a game or are currently playing with a friend, it is important to keep your username a secret.
Never tell anyone your username if you are currently playing a game with other people.
5. Watch out for other players who are “lurking.”
If you are playing a game and notice someone who has been in the game for a very long time and hasn’t ever interacted with anyone else, that person may be trying to “lurk” around and figure out who is who or who does what.
If you notice someone who is lurking, it is important to be careful. Don’t tell that person anything about yourself.
Don’t share your real name or your personal information with that person. Just be very careful.
You can do many more things to be safe, but these are some of the most important things. It is important to be safe in a virtual world, as it is in the real world.
