Discussion Open profile vs private profile

[Sixfeetunder]

I've noticed a few users on here have a private profile. Is your profile public or private? Why?

Mine is public because I'm new. I also love getting messages written on my profile. :D

 

[RainAndSadness]

Mine is public because I have nothing to hide.

 

[21Neberg]

I don't care - I probably have it on the default setting.

 

[JustAboutDone]

For me I had some strange messages and people behaving weirdly so I changed mine; that's the nature of the Internet I guess - people hide behind a keyboard and say peculiar things to strangers!

 

[Smilla]

It was public but I switched to private.

I just sent you a PM about Aliens before reading this, oh oh

I am *definitely* not in Kansas anymore...

 

[Karl]

There's nothing here that deserves to be seen.

 

[Hopeless_soul]

I've no idea how to change it to private. But anyways I don't get many messages :)

You've not been asked for nude pictures yet then...

I haven't had that delight yet :)

Mine is public. I really don't have anything private on there … I think.

I haven't had that happen. I don't get that many pm's. There are a few people I talk with.

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

Mine is public too. Dealing with the graffiti left by you hooligans is the price I pay for being such an open book.

Too funny

I'm sorry
*hangs head in shame* but I just couldn't believe you didn't look like your avatar in real life. What can I say?

Too bad we can't find the Wizard to grant us a peacefull ending.

Oh I was just joking. Sorry, I have a rather crap sense of humor.

I know you were, don't apologise!

Edit: and, no, you don't, so there

I haven't either... Trust me … they would not like to see me naked anyway.

I'm absolutely devastated to read that people get such exciting pms, ngl. The only time anyone jumps into my private messages it's someone asking for A's email in pidgin English ("hello wheeere is the n"), this is so tediously and dishearteningly regular that I've considered asking the mods for an out-of-office reply facility.

I guess we have gotten lucky.

This is seriously spooky as I was just about to post: I'm surprised Dr @Chinaski has not appeared complaining that he is inundated with requests for nudes

 

[Smilla]

I have to say the PMs I have received here are WAAY saner and more polite than the messages I received when I dated online many moons ago.

I'd rather get a PM asking about N2, (or Hydrogen—(someone out there needs to review the periodic table))...than requests for nude selfies or unsolicited dick picks.

So we are being "Sanctfished" What ??? people don't look like the pics they post online. NOOO !!!
Sorry … I couldn't help myself.
I don't look like a cat that stepped in cow poop but I feel like one.

This is the best thing I've ever read!!!!!

Just the combination of "periodic table" and "unsolicited d&ck picks" in the same sentence has just cracked me up!!!

Thank you xxxxx

Nope, the weekly wall of angry text from a disgruntled user, the everyday behaviour warning from a mod, and the twice hourly request for a drug dealer's email address. In three months, not one single person has asked to see me naked, and this is a damning indictment on you all, frankly.

Can I have one please?

Check your inbox.

(Btw, it's very cold in here and I've not been well just lately, before you pass comment. And yes, it always is that colour)

Sorry Chinaski, I'm too logical I guess. I get out of the shower and look in the mirror, I find that offensive enough for the day, I don't need to see anyone else.
