Prevent member reaction/reply to post

Goodness, that's profound Mike ... but I like it. I might have to be a follower of yours.

On another front..just got a notification that a "brand new member" just joined is now "following" me.

Same one, did same, with me.....some of those entities seem to pick the female names.
I don't enjoy it, but I don't think it means much of anything, on this site, nowadays.
If they/it/he send me anything, i will likely report it.

Yes, I saw him yesterday and put him on ignore. What a stupid intro he had. his name was bobby0989 and has been banned.

 

[dilettante]

Egad, even though I was prompted to I never wrote an intro. But by now it's probably a moot point. The ladies all know enough to run and hide. I'm pretty visible and I don't intentionally harm anyone or push them to discomfort. The admin has his eye on me. Etc.

 

[RadishRose]

I can be a little nutty at times.

That's fine. We'll get to be friends.

 

[Kaila]

@RadishRose Thanks for that info. I didn't see the intro.

Yes I got the brand new member following a few times but they seem to have disappeared.
They must think we are a bunch of dozy old souls ready to tell them all about our lives and try with the private message thing.
That happened to me in a forum a few years ago.
I told him/her to eff off and on that note I am ready for a coffee

How do you know who's following you?

How do you know who's following you?

You get one of those little alerts if they just start following you.

If you mean a list of ongoing ones including very old ones including members from years ago who arent even members any more and ones you've never heard of ;
Then you look someplace on your profile sections......
You click on your username a few times, then across the horizontal menu for About

 

[Kaila]

But it really doesn't do anything, here at SF.

 

[Kaila]

I'll have to pick someone to follow and find out.
Don't ask why I added the feet .. I just liked the look of them.

If I see any footprints like those behind me,
Now I'll know who it is.

I have been wondering about this whole "follow" thing myself. I think I figured it out!

There is a section called "what's new". If you click on that, there are several options. One of them is "your news feed" . When I go there, it shows me the newest activity of all of the people who I follow.

Please be aware: I'm on a tablet....it might be different on a PC.

I hope this helps!

 

[seadoug]

Hard to say, I'm new here. But nobody is following me!

I'll Follow you if it makes you feel better.

 

[Trila]

Wait! What? Are we talking about stalking?!!! LOL

On another front..just got a notification that a "brand new member" just joined is now "following" me. I was never clear on what his means. This person joined earlier today, and has not yet posted. SO I guess these kinds are scammers, or oddballs.
Is there a way to block someone from this? Or does it not mean alot? Gives me the creeps.

I’ve had members who are new suddenly start trying to PM me. I think they need a certain amount of posts to go through before they can even send PM’s. I’m not sure how many.
