How We Form A Opinion Of Fellow SF Posters & Think We Know Them

My profile was filled out as far as I wanted it to be, but it annoyed me with one or two posters that seemed to think it a must to have a profile filled in and so me being me or as some would say an awkward old bugger I deleted what information I had filled in.:D

Yes I agree Annie but some people are paranoid about a lot of things to do with the internet, they seem to believe it has powers beyond what are really the facts.

Yes, I understand that. My sister wouldn't use her credit card online for years as she thought once you put it online that it's there for the world world to see. She does it now but still won't book flights online, although she will book hotels.

I know what you mean, Bee. There are some who are adamant that a profile is filled in. I think putting at least a country is a good idea since we are from many and it can cause confusion in some posts if you don't know where the poster lives.
 

Especially when their are posters with the same names...looking at their unfilled profiles does not help to tell them apart. Perhaps my short coming though...not paying enough attention to avatars.

Funny how many of you say profiles aren't important but I see mine has been looked at 649 times and I can see who are the last ones to look at it (and so can everybody

Yup mine has been viewed over 840 times....but I think also that it may rack up a 'view' when people are messaging you too.. I'm not certain but I think probably..

I get a few of them mixed up due to the similarity in their names.

Of the last ones to view mine only one has messaged me, though. Your profile is a different page though. And I have zero Visitor Messages.

Yes my sister was the same, she never used a credit card or bought anything online, terrified of fraud and identity theft. I believe the media do tend to feed these fears by exaggerating the occurrences of fraud. No one amongst my friends and family have ever had any problems, with fraud and we all use these services regularly.

I've been ordering online for years and quite often, and I did catch an order for $300 on my US account that I didn't make. It happened the day after I ordered a gift certificate for my stepgrandson online at Old Navy. Didn't have to pay it, but had to get a new card which was a pain.

Same here Lon. Really all I want to know is their gender and their (general) location.

I see posts that say, It's raining here. If they don't have a profile, I'm wondering, "Where the hell is here?"

I like to know the gender of a poster and also the general location.On the subject of profiles I have looked at some by mistake, it is the iPad, and I have somehow touched the wrong thing!

I was charged $700 for server fees...in China once. And about ten years ago my pictures were used in dating sites, by a Nigerian scammer.
 
I like to know where aperson live and their gender, anything else
doesn't really matter.

I also look on everybody as a friend, until they turn nasty, with
anybody on the forum, that is not required and creates a very
bad atmosphere.

Mike.
