Keeping Users from Tracking You

Sort:

Is it possible to keep another user from tracking you?

This would be useful if you feel someone is being creepy and following you around the site.

trysts

What do you mean, like not be able to look at your posts in the forum? Or not be able to look at your profile?

corrijean

I mean to not be alerted to my activity when I am posting.

I have the user blocked, but he publicly declared he was following everything I did on the site.

Hey there, I just got a notification that you posted something.

Hope that is okay...Wink

corrijean

Well obviously you aren't blocked.  Wink

trysts

I didn't know you could be tracked by anyone unless you accepted them as friends. So I'm no helpEmbarassed

We discovered this evening that you can in fact track others, regardless of friendship and in spite of being blocked.

I like the way Facebook does it, in that if you block someone they cease to exist from your online world. We can call it "super block"

It could be interesting to be able to find out who's tracking you.

@Sparenone: That picture wasn't funny on the Undercover Staff topic either.

Neither of the 2 times you posted it there, even though it was a different comment than the one above. What is it with you and your obsession with this picture?

Just wondering. Can't find any orangutans fondling pancakes or waffles?

 You know, that'd be hilarious if it wasn't so trendingly truthful. Frown

I would think blocking them would stop them from tracking you. If it doesn't why let it bother you, if they can't comment on anything you say.

On the other hand, woodshover, I'd rather see what they're saying about me and my posts on my topic thread than have to cast about to see where they are taunting me behind my back.

There's not nearly enough support for the paranoid on this site.... just the enabling.

I also want at least two particular members (I'm not naming you two but you know who you are) to stop following me. They keep turning my constructive forum threads into laughingstock.

Maybe if you'd stop trolling they would stop tracking you or whatever.
