Speaking of talking online, I was playing COD with my headphones and dubstep going, having a great time with my group of knockaround guys who all had each other's back. I took my headset off and immediately heard a string of racial slurs.

I was crushed that my brothers could do such a thing.

They were my brothers! We had each other's backs! I thought they were better than that!

Mostly this, but correct me if im wrong, I thought the people who call the cops relay the game chat or something to the police and make them sound like a threat? i just assumed this because all the videos i've seen usually had Call of Duty/Battlefield players getting swatted. Talking to people while playing a war game can sound really bad out of context. "detonate the bomb", "i got a new gun" ect.

A lot of the time they will call the police and say they will do X and describe their location along with the address. There are a lot of informative videos on Swatting tho.

I don't play those games with a headset anymore once I heard that you could be swatted.

Some people fuck at funerals, I cut off heads.

And then some other people press F to pay respect.

 

[RecursiveFault]

I've never played any multiplayer game and desired to be social and have a mic on or text chat. I might've if I'd ever played an MMO, but my first action playing Halo and CoD was always to mute everyone.

Friends are fine, but the games we play together are generally not ones that would use general chat.

And then some other people press F to pay respect.

Press F to cut off head.

No, they drop an anonymous tip that someone is armed and doing something like a hostage situation or something. They sometimes do it on stream so that they get instant satisfaction of their deed. I think it's just the extreme fanbase of those people? I really don't understand their mentality.

... You can only be swatted if they know enough of your information to call the police on you. No Joe blow can just ring up the police and say Dok is decimating people in his house with guns, send swats.

Or are you not wearing headphones so you can hear swats coming in? I don't know where you're going with this.

You must've had the wrong impression of them then. Cod brings out the "worst" out of some people..

Yeah use Teamspeak or Vent. Forget general chat.

Also, false reports of crimes, are crimes. The police can punish the people that make these calls by tracing the call back to the source.

He doesn't want to piss off anyone on Xbox Live who might do the legwork to find out his information so that they can sick SWAT on him.

Someone posted about the fine being $5,000 with possible jail time.

If they are stupid, which some are, they don't use a pay phone or something untraceable.

Isn't it usually people who are fairly well known who get swatted? Or do i have the wrong impression? I don't think there's enough people to actually do that, but that's based on assumptions.

"Hey man, I'm sorry about your friend. He was a good man. How about some Doritos to soothe the pain? You could even wash it down with this bottle of mountain dew!"

Exactly.

Someone knowledgable to initiate a swat call is someone knowledgable enough to also find out via IP where my exact home is.

Lol, that's not really how that works, but I'm not gonna tell you you're wrong to be paranoid. Just don't worry about it and don't use your mic if you don't want to.

Basically this. I dont know what people are capable of these days lol.

and i dont really like talking to randoms in those kind of games anyway

You just never know what someone else is capable of. Living in NY and seeing/questioning the mental capacity of people can make someone paranoid. It breeds neurosis.

I agree with mrgoodwil. IPs don't exactly work that way.

People have been dox'ed before over smaller things than being a streamer. If you take a picture with your phone and post it to your facebook, I can just grab that picture and look at the metadata to see where the picture was taken. If you took the pic in your room, for example, I now know where your house lives.

Also, if you're a streamer and you're in an office like that guy from RoosterTeeth(?) people can probably look up where you work fairly easily.

Shit's fucked up yo, but staying anonymous on the internet is a privilige that only you yourself can protect (at least, as far as the general public is concerned, the NSA will still find you if they have a good reason to). It's why I didn't post pics when this thread turned into SelfieGAF. Heck, I don't even have pics on Facebook and I (almost) never give up my real age, even tho I'm old enough to look up adult content now.

People can't find out where you live if you're using a mic, tho. Unless you yell out where you live into the mic.

 

[Oberon]

Oberon stood up and declared that his penis was, in fact, the largest of them all, much to the aghast expression of the school principal who simply uttered, "The women's virginity is at risk.."

Oberon walked to the front of his classroom, the eyes of the student body trained on his every step. The projector was hooked up to the DVD player prior to his appearance, some scrub had left it set up after demonstrating his less than adequate Ultimax skills. Murmurs began arise from the mouths of those watching him fumble with the device, but were quickly silenced when they realized it wasn't a movie he put on but a music CD.

"DO THE IMPOSSIBLE, SEE THE INVISIBLE" blared out from the projector, shattering the windows of the now insignificantly small classroom.

"The women's virginity is at risk.." was all the teacher could muster in response.

No context needed. It sounds like you had to listen to a great school presentation.

Should I tell that 84 % of my class is female?

Im not like super duper paranoid about it or anything, and i dont have a problem sharing pics with friends online and stuff like that, BUT i once saw someone get "dox'ed" because of a stupid twitter argument. its just that i dont know that much about how these things work, so id rather not mess with it

First of all, do you know what doxing is or what it does?

It's understandable that you dont want to anger people who might potentially harm you.

Not really. DoS or DDoS is when you attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users.

Edit: Oh, Dox. I read it as Dos. Doxing is basically what you just said.
