Private profiles....I ask you....why??

[QUOTE="BiancaDK"]

Let's be real for a second here. There's no such thing as actual stalking on gamespot, the few occassions one could actually with some legal credibility describe as stalking are cases far and wide apart in occurance. You're not getting stalked, I'm not getting stalked, LJS isn't getting stalked. Stalker =/= Some bored dweeb browsing your posting history every now and then, ok.

If you feel that you're in some way ,,above'' the publiccritique of your peers; that's definitely a dire feeling of self-importance right there. If your blog is ****, or you're just a **** poster in general,it deserves to be thumbed down.

This is a problem that you create yourself. Why would you go out of your way to even bother asking someone to not track you? That's just weird man.

Third....it's NOT the blog that gets the thumbing down but indescriminate blog comments. Which is NOT the words of the blog maker.

Like LJ said, it's your friends' comments being thumbed-down, not the blog.

And why not allow members some control over who tracks them?

I never said stalking couldn't happen. I know it's in the news, neat of you to point that out though. Dude, you're not getting stalked. Some guy trolling your ass every now and then does not equate to stalking let alone obsessing. It could be boiled down to a deviant past time.

Regarding the 3rd, doesn't change the point in any way. Same stuff applies; someone found it worthy to be thumbed down, they're as far as the thumbing up and down system goes, entitled to give a simple critique.

Big deal. I'm not saying members shouldn't be allowed to control who tracks them, I'm saying it's a total non-issue.BiancaDK

Does the idea of a private profile and/or blog bother you?

I don't see why...lately a lot of mods and some of the staff went private as well.

My friends can see both my profile and blog - that's all that need to see it, and I don't feel self-important, I just don't need the trouble that some other well-established users are having.

Which should tell them there is a problem. Apparently not all users are mature enough to read them.LJS9502_basic

I agree. I can still see your profile, LJ...in case you wanted to set that private as well.

Exactly my feelings on the matter...why subject my friends to rude thumbing-down?

Yeah...making anything friends only is not something I'd done before but with the immaturity level seen....I thought it was for the best. If they'd just disable comments in blogs....that would be fine.LJS9502_basic

Given the heavy influx of low-level users, I think you made the right choice.:)

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] I think they belong to same the group of low levels users that have been banned a few times already.:lol:ToppledPillars

:lol: You guys are so funny lol

Perhaps, but I don't mind friends posting comments...I was thinking more so along the lines of programming the blog to where only friends you track back are allowed to post comments as a default...that would alleviate the need to change our blog settings.

Dudette....where in this thread did I say I was getting stalked. Bit of creative licence on your part? And no...it's not someone...it's several ARBITRARILY thumbing down EVERY comment. That is much different than someone seeing a comment about a game they don't like and thumbing it down. Though both are childish.

i don't know why.

It makes me feel smart.cheesyjon

people probably don't want to be harassed by anyone other than their friends..comp_atkins

No, it's more I don't want my friends harassed by non-contributors...I like tracking people who have something in their profile besides just a post count.:P:lol:
