I don't know, people get paranoid on anything they consider "unsecure" on the internet. Putting profiles down as private makes them feel like their identity isn't being stolen or something...

I remember some guy said that someone made fun of his blog in the System Wars just because he was losing. That's a low thing...And there are stupid adults out there...

Anyone heard on CNN about the girl who was lured into suicide from cyber bullying from 30+ olds.

I do not care if a person makes fun of me...The mods will beat their little butts to banned land.

I didn't understand why until this happend:

So I finally decided to post a pic of me on one of those threads where you do just that.

The next day I get a freaking message from a guy who made an account JUST to send me a stalker-esque message.

He was trying to talk to me by saying how he was just like me blah blah blah. So cliche, *shakes head* I told him to screw off.

Answer: Because some people post a pic of themselves and don't want any stalkers.

if they're so scared of people stalking them how about they put a fake city name???? OH yea, that would actually make sense............ Not letting someone track you in a forum is like trying to be invisible in class. If you dont want to interact then dont come.

Have you ever had random people sending you message? Some people don't like it..and making it private eliminates a lot if it.

Naah it's a part of a large terrorist networks plot to find a way to SB GS. The R&C review was the last straw.

I guess you're talking about me. Some dude was insulting my financial status because I couldn't afford a PS3. That's why I put my profile to private, so he couldn't post it anymore. I deleted it now so my profile isn't private any longer.

I did it because I kept getting too many people tracking me. Not that I don't like it, but honestly, I don't know half the people that end up tracking me, lol.

They possibly just want to post on these here forums, without making too much of an impact or name for themselves, or some crap like that.

I'm not sure either but since my blog is dead forever..I thought I might as well use that option to hide it from everyone:P

I don't know...However, a lot of people search for users with druggie in their name. I guess that explains why so many random users are tracking me.

It may be they set it completely private, or it may be they set it for friends and mods only. There is a glitch at moment where you can click on the link to a friends' blog and get the message that their profile is private, yet if you go through the contacts page and search for their name there you can get in that way.
