Please remember to remove you Social from your DA Photo! You are basically giving someone everything they need to include your picture to steal your identity. I would like to suggest to RP staff that you give us deputy staff the ability to remove these profile photos as we see them. Either that or we need to start screening photos before they are published. This is pretty serious. We've talked about it before but I still keep seeing it...a lot!

I voted for the 2nd option -- that members should do their best to screen their own photos -- because as RP continues to grow, it would be very hard for Admins to keep up with editing photos. The Admins are already up to their eyebrows in work! :)

SSG: Anyone with a lick of sense will "paint over" or crop out their social security number.  But still good advice.

Yes and apparently some have less than a lick as you put it because it is still happening.

If common sense was common everyone would have it! Probably good to have some kind of fail safe for those who don't pay attention when posting their DA photo

Good job with the "on the spot" SSG Wiley. We all need to be cognizant and vigilant when it comes to PII.
