i think it will be quite easy to get them to do tht.. how hard cud it be 😃

I'm so used to be stalked on IF, it doesn't even matter anymore. Its the same thing as your profile, if you don't block it, anyone can read your scraps, etc. Honestly, I don't care. What's their to hide? Especially when you are posting on a public forum. D'uh, anyone can read any of your posts, that's the whole point, I thought? Granted its a little weird when the same person is quoting you left and right, but I'm used to that as well. People obsess, so what? As far as reporting you goes, it doesn't really matter, my warning level goes up and down so many times, I think even the mods are tired of messing with it. 😆

I agree with Ajnu. Seriously man what gives. You are aware you are posting to a public forum. If you do not want people to read your posts and opinions I suggest you do not post them on public forums. Just interact in Pms or protected scrap books.

And seriously whats a stalker going to do with my posts from eonsago. Boo hoo your argument today contradicted what you said two years ago.
Its not just stalking, sometimes I use it to find old similar topics, to try and find a useful link or quote someone once posted.Sometimes I like to get nostalgic about some old heated arguments or funny moments.

Honestly, I also think the internets would not be as much fun if it was not stalker heaven.

The posts are here for public view, so with or without "My posts," everyone can see them. Sure, this button will make it easier to gather a person's comments, but I don't think it's harmful. Even before My posts, the old search feature allowed to search with a username.

What you post on a forum is public content. There's no use complaining afterward that someone else has read it. If you don't everyone to read it, then there's always private messaging and email 😛

Now allowing everyone to see the scrapbook may be an invasion, but I guess we already have a feature preventing everyone from seeing it.

Didn't even know this existed until reading the OP. Man, I feel slow, but eh...like the others have previously said, who cares? Do a lot of people even know about it? Wouldn't make a difference to me whether they keep it or not...I'm not going to be using it for anyone else but if someone wants to see my posts, nothing gives.

I can see how it might be a fun feature for people who have a lot of time on their hands but other than that? Meh.

@all- thanx for the replies-

I do agree that a forum being public its natural everyone will read your views and you cant complain.. But going by the hue and cry in the CCs....if any one of you have read a general topic on the CC you would know.... someone leaked another person's home adress out of malice....i am not highly sure what it really is but if people are this vicious then maybe the button is not that good an option...

I have also been followed by others when i used to make highly critical comments about a serial in its forum and slighted....so maybe the trouble creaters who have loads of time need a reality check... or whatever...
