Sorry this is my second post tonight in the general chat area but ok, I'm bored and I have questions! But I took a peek at my followers on my tapatalk app that I use for this forum and there's three "guests". What does that mean? Is it people that don't belong to the forum but are still reading my posts? How can someone that isn't a member able to follow be in the first place? Or am I getting this all wrong? And if one of these guests are reading this, I'm not creeped out, I'm just wondering. Hope you're enjoying my posts!

Tapatalk's app allows "followers" and "following" like on Twitter or YouTube. They are other Tapatalk users, not necessarily members of our community.
There does not appear to be a way to turn off this feature in Tapatalk. But you can ask over at their support forum if you want a definitive answer: https://support.tapatalk.com/forums/...nd-support.93/

if you really want to get "creeped out" , search your sign name online, and see who's repeating your posts in their blogs.

Holy crap that is creepy. An ex of mine knew my name on a forum for eating disorders and followed me. I was so embarrassed I stopped posting. My worst fear is that my current bf sees my posts here. He's pretty tech savvy so I have a feeling he already has. This really freaks me out! |

How weird is it that I just posted this and my bf just laughed and called me "rx queen". I flipped ad asked if he's reading my things. He said "no but you do realize that stuff is public don't you?" I feel so stupid now. Hopefully others don't see rx queen (also a name I went by in instant messenger in highschool) and put it together. |

For those of you freaked out by people copying your posts into blogs, I googled my username to see if anything came up. I went through seven pages of links and found nothing related to my posts here. I still think people using what someone else posted in their blog is creepy, not to mention plagiarism, but I'm not freaked out anymore.

The Internet is such that if you write anything and share it with anyone -- even in a completely "closed" community that isn't indexed by search engines -- anyone else reading it can also copy and paste it to anywhere else online. There's no technology to stop this sort of behavior, so that's why we encourage folks to ensure they choose their username wisely and not tied to any real-life clues as to your identity (if you feel it might be an issue with regards to the kind of stuff you're sharing here).
I know it may be scary, but it's the nature of sharing anything and writing it down... as long as you do so carefully, it shouldn't present any problem in your life. DocJohn

I found somethings that I had posted on here. I have always been very careful about what I post but sadly I think I will be even more cautious about responding to posts.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
