say one of my visitor (stalker) is not my friend eg= had arguements,slanging each other,old enemys comes on my profile.
theres no way of them stoping them?

Zaph

There never was any way of stopping them before, just now you can see that they've been there.

Personally I don't like this feature, I think we'll end up with an awful lot of paranoid Boardsies. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Doctor DooM

Meh, it's hardly bebo, who cares if your boards arch- nemesis can see how many people have thanked you, or what your signature is?

leninbenjamin

who cares? it's just the internet. just don't give out your real name or credit card details and you'll be fine. actually you can give them to me for safe keeping if you want.

... but they could always do it anyway... is it not better that now you know they're poking around?

human nature will have people looking in profiles just out of curiosity, and nothing else

maybe Cult can do something to stop your non friends or foes visiting profiles by way of the visitor cant access their profile.
Eg.you have the choice of the particular person who you dont want to view your profile page?
At the moment it could lead to members fighting with the foe or non friends and hells break loose imo.

Like people on your ignore list cant or something, I guess.

And then they can just log out and view your profile, and you won't know they've visited.

There's never been a way to stop it. You could always check someones profile any time.

Thrill

I've visited a few profile pages just to see what the fuss was about. I think when the novelty factor wears off no-one will bother with it.

The only problem I can see with it is people with grudges against one another leaving insulting and trolling comments on the profile page. Plus, Mods wont be able to visit every profile to check on things that break the site rules etc.

Stark

There's a report comment function on the visitor's page for situations like that.

thats what im seeing myself.
It will be a lot more work for the mods to look up whos doing wrong when they are trying to do thier own mod forums.
you cant seem to report the foe looking at your profile.

Wait until somebody leaves a comment. You then have an option to report it.

There's nothing wrong with viewing someone's profile. The problem occurs when someone leaves abusive comments. That is why there is no option to report someone who has looked at your profile.

thanks Ac
would an option for the recent vistors be a good idea?

No like I said above, someone looking at your profile is harmless that's why the option isn't there.

Exactly, just dont put anything in your (public) profile that may incriminate you!

Overheal

well you can disable the message box for a group if you moderate one; should be a way to disable the message box in your profile if you prefer ¿

Nevyn

You can set your message box to friends admins and mods only.

Mod use the profiles to check on peoples posts to look for patterns this was how it was before hand only now you can see those who are visible visitors to your profile.

Yeah I usually just view people's profiles who come onto the forums I mod. Nothing malicious or evil about it. Loads of people view profiles, if you dont like it keep your profile blank. There's nothing stopping you from entering nothing

kittensoft1984

ok so i have no idea what this is about?

How do you know who has viewed your profile?
