Reply to comment by DragoneerFA in Playing Military Sim War Thunder May Get You Classed as a National Security Risk by Sorin61

Yeah I get that, but…

Some people can just play a game and not participate in the forums. So someone else leaked classified documents. Why should other people suffer and not be employed for what somebody else did?

That doesn’t really make sense to me.

That's why the category is 'risk' and not 'threat'. If you were going to be an accountant, no one would care. If you were going to work in the defense industry or for the government working on military stuff and require a clearance, they'd definitely take a close look at you. It probably wouldn't keep you from being hired but it would probably bring you under more regular scrutiny if you have access to 'shareable' documents. It's kind of like complaining about security guards and saying 'I don't see why they should have guards here, I'm not a thief!'

Unless you're trying to get in to the defense industry currently, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just don't read the seemingly classified stuff if you come across it.

Don't really play a lot of online multiplayer games, but I've been known to pull out a calculator or spreadsheet to prove a point about damage caused by fall damage, or other points in DND, to the chagrin of my fellow DND members. Why play with online people you don't know and get screamed at by a 13-year-old when you can play a board game or ttrgp game in person with a group of people you know pretty well.

Getting screamed at by people you know pretty well is a more enjoyable experience.
