the one valid reason I can think of is for a girl who is being stalked.

a regular user who does not want to deal with popularity or having to turn down requests.

big deal, it is not that big a deal to have to worry about a little temporary bother on the internet.

I would set my profile to private if I was a female user. Personally, I wouldn't even tell anyone that I was a girl in the first place on this site, or at least not publicly in the forums. It would annoy the **** out of me if I had to deal with some of the stupid crap that they put up with.

[QUOTE="MistressMinako"]I had my profile on private once. Was getting too many tracking requests. (yes, I know why for anyone who was going to reply :P) Other than that, I don't see the reason why to keep it private. Don't want weirdos reading/commenting/thumbing down your blog comments? Set the blog to friends only. Creepers? Whatever. They can still PM me... so yeah. If someone has an empty profile... chances are not that many people will track you anyway unless you are super popular... :P

:( i sure as hell wish i had this problem :( no one's tracking me *sniffs* i'm not a troll, ok?! i'm teh real deals. *goes away*

They all can be private as I'm concerned, because I don't look at other people profiles.

Mine is not set to private because there is nothing interesting to see

I've always agreed with that. I've never seen the point of making yourself private. On sites like Myspace and Facebook too where you would essentially just be creating something for people to see that you could have IMed or called anyway.

Some people close their profiles because of the comment ratings abuse.

That needs to go too, as does the staff member that added it.

Two people are tracking you that you haven't tracked back.:o

You've started a blog, which is a good first step. Make good posts, add more to your profile (game collection, game reviews, upload some game videos), join some unions, and things will start to move.:)

What makes you think that? I asked Dracula to check the security with his alt account. He tracked me and still couldn't see my profile.

He was checking to see if the Track button functioned properly on a private account or served as a back door. Fortunately it's the former.

I keep my blog private. I only want certain people to see it.

I don't understand why people have their entire pages private, but continue to write blogs. You can see the title, but it's impossible to actually look at it.

I don't get it either. The only time I've seen it useful is if a troll is thumbing down all comments on your blogs

Well, you can easily make enemies online, and if you don't want people you don't like reading what you write, or thumbing down your blog comments, you go private to lock them out. I think it's pretty easy to understand, but that's just me.
