Under no circumstances should you ever give out your personal information such as your real name, home address, school name, home or cell phone number(s), etc. Be careful when telling people where you will be or what you will be doing; especially in a chat room where you may be providing that information to someone you did not intend to meet.

Did you remember to turn off your camera? Remember that anything you stream on the internet or any pictures or movies you upload may be recorded or copied by someone else. 

People on the internet often give false personal information such as age, gender or location.

It’s not recommended that you meet people you only know online. If you do decide to meet someone, bring a friend along and always meet in a public place with lots of people around. If you are under the age of 18 NEVER meet up with someone you have only met online unless your parents not only know who this person is, but agree to go along with you to the meeting.

Never reply to someone who has made you feel uncomfortable or scared. With Stickam you can just click the user icon and select “Ignore User”. Ignoring the person is probably the best way to have that person stop harassing you. You do have many other options for protecting yourself from harassment. You can try going to a different room, creating a password protected chatroom, setting your live room to friends only, adding offensive users to your personal ban list and adjusting your privacy settings to protect your information. Remember, you can always turn off your computer. If anyone continuously harasses you on Stickam, makes any threats or begins to harass you on other sites, please contact your local law enforcement immediately.

Flagging abusive behavior is the best way to insure Stickam administration can take action. A flag generates a screen capture which is saved to our system for our staff to review. You can also send us an abuse report here.
