So I was just browsing the Home page and I find the featured block sections, I clicked on GabuEx blog (which was the second featured blog)

then it redirects me to a "gabuex profile is set to private" screen so I couldnt see his blog :P

so gamespot now features private blogs, great news ;)

Consider that the admins are the ones who put things in the Soapbox and featured blogs, but mods/admins can see any profile, regardless of privacy settings. :P

I don't think that is what it is. They are generally not the type to run and hide (so to speak) I think it is something else ...maybe the voting on the GS villain bracket or something

hmmm it seems as if not many got the point... the problem is not that they have private profiles the problem is that the soapbox was featuring a private blog....PRIVATE, they were featuring a blog that no one could see

Seems like a loser move to me.

Someone went in and did it to more than 100 comments on my blogs...now multiply that by all the people it happened to.
That is a lot of effort to accomplish...nothing

You trolled someone in private where most of GS won't see it.
If you are going to troll, at least do it in public and provide some LULZ for the community
