@Importance in the context here “private messages being private” implied that they can not be found by google search.
I agree with everything else you said.
Ty @importance ... 💕 this guy loves to talk about rules but forgot to mention a few of them , particularly Baiting: > No baiting. Dropping things in the forums just to stir the waters will not be tolerated.
@introvme. I did not talk about rules. I started a poll to see how others felt about making forums private.
I did not try to bait.I clearly mentioned in the subject body referring you and @importance that I used to be not active in forums. So there was no stirring the waters whatsoever.
This is my last comment I refuse to engage in a back and forth .... your lame attempt at googling specific words in which no one outside of cuddle comfort will ever do & screenshoting it to show vulnerability of this site (which does not exist) with other motives was just that — lame ... if you want me to remove the screen shot I posted , remove the screenshot you posted of me & importance ... done deal
@introvme ~ Posting screen shots doesn't seem appropriate (and I personally think you should remove them).
Also, if/when a cyber sleuth were to Google, "CC + ____" they wouldn't get anything from private messages in the return. Just what's in the forum.
Anyway... I also don't like that anyone can creatively Google to see who here said what.
But if I were found out, I think it would go something like this... "Okay, so you found out I like to cuddle, I have more opinions than I know what to do with, and I use too many words to get my point across? And...?" "Oh, only that first one is news to you?" [gulp] "Huh... Well, surprise and welcome to the alternate realm I occupy!! So... you wanna get squishy now, or...?"
@introvme : it was not a lame attempt. It was a personal opinion being brought to attention.
Since you two didn’t mind being public, I used it as a quick reference.
Sure I’ll take it down and post another example with no specific user. Thank you for engaging.
You’re welcome
👍🏻
@quixotic_life “So... you wanna get squishy now, or...?”
I’m dead. So funny. Dead.
Gettin’ squishy with it!!! Nah nah nah nah na Nah!
@Importance, @introvme, and @TheGMan - It is bad form to post private conversations or screenshots of conversations unless there has been explicit agreement between both parties to do so. Please don't.
@TheGMan 's basis is correct: CC profiles can be hidden based on privacy settings; forum topics are visible and searchable without logging in/having an account; everyone's profile thumbnails within forum posts are visible.
