Make sure that you tell your registrar that you want to be anonymous.

Edit: wow I missed the phone number censor. I guess that proves my point even farther.

Bout ten years ago I pissed off some GNAA idiot trolls on twitter, so they did a whois on my domain. I never updated it from my mom’s address so over the course of a week my mom got three cases of qurans and several large pizza orders (10+ pizzas each time), all of which she declined to accept.

Lucky she didn’t get swatted, though this was before they became such a big thing.

You bet your ass all my domains now have privacy settings enabled.
