Marshmallow 1,137 April 3, 2012 Share April 3, 2012 Yes, yes. You can fully trust me. Now give me your adress, your phone number and credit card info please! Come on, you know you can trust me: I'm a brony! ...just kidding, obviously Honestly, no matter how nice a person appears on the Internet, you should never completely trust them and give them personnal intormation. Most of us are probably honest people and would do nothing bad with it, but this is the Internet. It is relatively anonymous and there ARE bad people out there. You can't afford to take the risk.

Ashbad 969 April 3, 2012 Share April 3, 2012 I'd personally be secretive about any secrets told to me, but honestly I think it requires someone being more than just a "Brony" for me to tell them something. I base decisions like that on trust and respect, not really on mutual interests. What has fanfiction has Ashbad written lately? We should totally find out by clicking this link.

Radiance64 7,053 April 3, 2012 Share April 3, 2012 Bronies in general seem to be pretty nice people from what I can tell around here, but like others said this is the internet, and you should always be careful about what personal information you share with anyone no matter who they are.

Daring Do 195 April 3, 2012 Share April 3, 2012 Well, I wouldn't tell anybody that much unless you personally know them, or were friends with them for a really long time. I mean, I've told some internet bronies some deeper stuff... The internet shouldn't always be generalized to stereotypes found on Reddit and 4Chan, that would make the internet the biggest enemy of the world(Hyperbole)! Just be smart about who you pick! Great adventuring for great treasures!....Except when I'm hurt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbow_Crash 92 April 3, 2012 Share April 3, 2012 You can trust anyone, just make sure you know they're trustworthy. This, some people might be trustworthy but not because they have the brony label, else some people might have been rich because they had the "trust" label in their name xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud_Jumper_189 56 April 3, 2012 Share April 3, 2012 I won't trust anyone more so than others blindly just because they like ponies, but if, say, I met a random person on the street and they started talking about ponies I would be more likely to befriend them and then probably trust them?

Gone for good 1,593 April 3, 2012 Share April 3, 2012 (edited) I'm kind of both sides on the trust people on the internet thing. While I know that there are people out there that just want to take any information they have on you and use it to their advantage, I haven't seen too many bronies that I can imagine doing terrible things (nasty pictures not included.) I'm sure these "evil" people do exist, but I think it is much more enjoyable to trust people and if I'm not comfortable sharing, I probably shouldn't be doing such things to begin with. Granted, everypony on this site is, whether they like it or not, a human and we all have secrets whether we like it or not, but I guess maybe it would be better to have less secrets in the end than more. Of course, to relate back to the original question, I do have one brony friend on the internet who I would trust my life with which is saying a bit because I wouldn't trust a lot of my real life friends with over fifty dollars.

Kapi 215 April 3, 2012 Share April 3, 2012 I treat everyone the same. I'm more willing to trust you if I've talked to you through PM or AIM/WLM, etc, but that still doesn't mean I'm giving you my address, SSN, etc. If I personally know you, I'm a bit more open. OF course, if you know where to look,you can easily snatch my real address, no matter who you are. "No, I am not going to run, I am not going to hide, I am going to take a stand and fight!"

Apple Bloom 2,933 April 4, 2012 Share April 4, 2012 As far as trust goes, I don't treat bronies any differently than anyone else, in real life or online.

River Song 9 April 4, 2012 Share April 4, 2012 Brony IRL: I'd say yes, unless they're an absolute fanboy to the extreme, then they may serve you the wrong advice. Brony in the webs: Internet ain't a safe place to begin with, though I'm pretty sure you can trust the good folk over here Basically you have the same thoughts as me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arylett Charnoa 4,919 April 4, 2012 Share April 4, 2012 I don't think it matters if somebody's a brony or not. You should trust people depending on how well you know them, and if they've proven to be trustworthy in the past. Also, regardless of whether or not you know them from the internet. For instance, if you've known a person well from the internet for several years, and you've seen them on webcam/had a voice chat with them, for the most part, it's safe to trust them with whatever you choose. It all depends on your personal preferences, and how much you can trust people in general. But all of the people I've trusted with my information have not let me down, because I've had good reason to trust them. 1 Aether Velvet is the name of the OC in my avatar. Drawn by me.

RDashFan85 46 April 4, 2012 Share April 4, 2012 I have a very hard time trusting people. Once someone has broken my trust I don't forgive them easily at all. Because I know they're gonna do it right over Again. So once you've broken my trust I'm done with you for good. I've been hurt and lied to so I don't need that shit from anyone anymore. So no I don't think I can fully trust Bronies or anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezynell 2,037 April 8, 2012 Share April 8, 2012 Anybody can lie on the internet. Unless you know them in person, or have been in contact with them for a really long time, I wouldn't trust them. Even then, I probably wouldn't trust them with security-related information. GAK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Flower 18 April 8, 2012 Share April 8, 2012 I'd trust someone online more than I would in real life. Not that I would post my info on a message board but the whole pedo lurking behind the screen is way out of hand, Your more likely to be hurt/etc by someone you know. .. and getting a little off point. I wouldn't really trust or distrust a brony when first meeting them. I'd take time getting to know them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryGamer432 155 April 8, 2012 Share April 8, 2012 It depends on how well you know a brony. If you just meet a brony you wouldn't really trust them but if you have know them a lot and you have talked with them a lot then you maybe could trust them more than a brony you barely know. So it depends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
