How do we report The Bump for violating TOU? This is unacceptable that you ban our friends without warning for much less, and then you go and reveal personal information.

I don't think our privacy is a top priority or there would have been an announcement and a wider net of notification when it happened, not hours and hours later. I get more disappointed each time something like this happens. It is amazing to me how poorly this was handled.

This wasn't important enough to announce on all of the boards? Wouldn't it be great if you had someone in charge of each of the boards to post this infomraiton? Like a real mod? Yeah, that would be nice.

This. Announce on ALL THE BOARDS. This affects all of your users across all boards and you should announce this to everybody. Do it. NOW.

This is such bull and a major violation of my privacy. Now thanks to you complete strangers know my full name and with a simple search on Google could find out a lot more, like where I live.

How do I know this won't happen again? How do I know my information is safe? Why should I bother using your site if you can't do something as simple as keeping my name private.

Major screw up on your part.

Is all that was revealed user names? No addresses, emails, or anything?

meganmcmuffin · February 2015

delete my account and all my content immediately. I do not want random people to have access to my information. This is the last straw. Also real dick move to not post this across all the boards, just goes to show you guys don't give a fuck about your regular users ONCE AGAIN!

Talltrees82 · February 2015

You guys sure aren't working very hard to keep the people who stuck around.

And now you ban users who tried to spread the word about the privacy breach to all the boards like you should have done? WTF?

Oh, what fresh hell is this?

CobaltBellisPerennis · February 2015

I'm so glad I didn't use my real name. WTF?

diz1313 · February 2015

Seriously?! An "inconvenience"? Try a gross violation of privacy. Add onto that that a bunch of us have put up a lot of information about our children/families and you have a freaking scary situation. You guys are making it really hard for people to stay.... really freaking hard.

diz1313 · February 2015

And why in blue blazes did I have to find out from a cross post?

Why would you ban the person who did let everyone know? Maybe you should have hired her instead.

mrspark812 · February 2015

So why did the lady who did your job get banned? She alerted your members to a security breach and a major violation of privacy and you banned her? That makes a lot of sense......... Why are you trying to cover this up? Why didn't you post this announcement to every board? Why don't you want your users to know?

Yet another thing making me question if I should stick around...you are 0 for 2 right now!
