At BadScreenNames.com we're aware of the uncertainties that make us all vulnerable to the subtle duplicity of online predators. That's why we're committed to stopping them. As a deterrent, this site will engage the offenders on their turf, dislodging the anchor of their misdeeds - their screen name.

Rather than provide a series of electronic security measures, our goal is to open a new front through which all concerned may confront the threat where it lurks. There is no doubt that the litany of methods of online communication are designed and operated to benefit their users. As an effective means of communication, online chat programs provide a much needed tool and often serve as a welcome diversion.

One of the unfortunate results of the information age has been the increase in tools that perverse individuals can use to victimize a growing number of people. Despite good intentions, and despite the efforts to curb illicit activity, the threat persists. Attempts to discourage misuse of communication software, by creating yet more electronic security measures, has served the regrettable purpose of forcing the criminal element to adapt. In so doing, entirely new sets of methods and tactics have been created, emphasizing the need for creative solutions. While many of the automated babysitters serve an indispensable purpose, there exists the inevitability of work-arounds, tampering and outright disabling.

We cannot password protect the world, but we can teach and encourage responsible online behavior, so we're shifting focus. We're thinking outside the realm of eradication. Using the same advantages employed by predators we're adapting our awareness and developing new tools to aid in the fight against the victimization of tens of thousands of people around the world. Our primary goal is to encourage and facilitate the one thing most predators fear the most - exposure.

We're taking a stand against the underhanded use of chat mediums as wellsprings of hapless victims. We encourage you to stand with us, and working together we'll do our part to prevent the broken hearts, the broken lives, the broken children and the devastated families of those who fall prey to the wreckage of unmitigated malevolence.
