jj33 Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 I am the only one that didnt realize that all of the posts from this site come up in internet searches. For example if you type in words that you used in your thread it will bring up your post. I thought this was locked to the public unless someone specifically accessed this site. Glad I checked.

I think when you create your id it mentions something about making sure your id isn't recognizable or something to that effect.. This is also from the guidelines.. the link at the top on the page near the middle.. Anonymity and disclosure Community participants may from time to time share private conversations and information with each other via private messaging. We expect that all community participants will observe the privacy rights of others and refrain from posting any information about another participant, including repeating the content of any private message in a public forum without the consent of both parties. Participants are reminded to use extreme caution when posting personally identifiable information on the site or when sending private messages. We recommend that you not disclose information that can be later used by others to identify you. For your own protection and the privacy and security of all of our guests, personal or personally identifiable information such as the following may not be included within submissions to the forum: * E-mail addresses * Instant message contact information (screen names, usernames, etc.) * Telephone numbers * Mailing addresses * Bank account numbers * Passwords, usernames, or access codes Please post judiciously about your personal matters. In most cases, once a post has received replies, we will not be able to comply with later requests for the thread's removal, as it would be unfair to those participants who took the time to respond thoughtfully to the topic at hand. Your post should be considered a permanent addition to the LoveShack.org forum, accessible by anyone on the Internet. For this reason we discourage members from providing details that would make them easily identifiable to friends, family members, etc. LoveShack.org is committed to protecting your privacy, and it is something that you should take care to protect as well. We also recommend that carefully weigh these considerations before using a picture which can personally identify you as an avatar.
Tony Posted August 10, 2008 Senior Moderators Posted August 10, 2008 I am the only one that didnt realize that all of the posts from this site come up in internet searches. For example if you type in words that you used in your thread it will bring up your post. I thought this was locked to the public unless someone specifically accessed this site. Glad I checked. The greatest number of our members and the people who peruse our site originally found it by putting certain words in a search engine. As is stated in LoveShack.org guidelines as reproduced in the above post, what you write here is completely accessible to the world. That's precisely why we insist on the use of anonymous user names. I have never been able to understand why people register onto this site using a name that is well known to all their friends and that will come up on multiple search engines from many of the sites where they've posted.
