Every so often we get requests from people to do a survey on this sub. We universally decline these requests, but most of them are good actors in at least they ask permission and then honor our wishes.

Now this assumes we are dealing with good actors. Rest assured there is an army of people that would go to great lengths to do whatever they can to make each and every one of us personally miserable. Therefore we have to assume any attempt to collect personal data, even seemingly anonymous data, is an attempt to dox us. So good science or bad science or good intentions or bad intentions, all surveys are banned from the sub. No exceptions.

Now this leads us to our current problem. There is someone claiming to be from UCSB doing a survey about the people of TRP. Are they? Don’t care. They know very well we will refuse their request and ban their account, so they have taken to PMing people directly. They have been using multiple accounts (which I will be discussing with the admins).

We strongly recommend you completely ignore these PMs. Do not even click the link to see where it takes you. The links themselves are all uniquely identifiable. At a bare minimum you are associating your username with an IP to someone outside of reddit. This itself may be relatively benign, but every dox’ing starts with a seed of information. Don’t give it to them.

Remember, even at their best, surveys are junk science, and are a waste of our time.

I’d also suggest investing in a VPN. It hides your real IP and you can change it within about 5 seconds.

Is it safe to assume that doxxing for RPw is much less dangerous than doxxing for male redpillers?

Nobody really cares about some submissive housewives, no?

It is not meant to be derogative. This is how I would expect the real world to look at or think about it...

This is probably correct to an extent.

Men will never persecute women for being submissive. However, other women may, and while women are much less vulnerable to character assassination and internet lynch mobs than men are, women can still be harassed by individual zealots.

We, as a mod team, cannot simply act as if some level of risk to our readers is small enough to be "acceptable". Why should our readers take any amount of risk that doesn't come with an incentive?

An ounce and a pound.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
