Topic: accessible through google? | |
---|---|
Why are my forum posts and my profile accessible through google? I had figured that forums and profiles were available only to members as is the case with other sites. I don't really care for that to much. Is there any ways to change it?

It kind of makes the whole block user thing kind of an empty gesture don't you think? It is a pretty big breach in privacy! The reason I ask is I recently had a problem with somebody nosing about in my life when they weren't welcome. Not cool at all!

Yes, It is BAD!

I guess nobody else is worried about it.

I will give it some time to hear from the forum moderators or the people who maintain the site and see what they have to say. I don't know if I will stay on this site though given that is has no privacy or control over who can access a profile. I will probably use another site that takes privacy and security more serious. Its a bit creepy!

OMG how do I find out if mine is Just google your screen name and look for it |

google "wiley8425" Lots of forums are public and I realize this but in a medium where we give more personal insight into out identity such as hometowns age and photos, you would think it would have some security. Not to mention relaxing with our personality more with regards to jobs and things like that. Other dating sites maintain a level of privacy for their members. |

Its a bit creepy! You get what you pay for. I haven't seen any free sites that can't be googled. |
