Why can people who aren't members of the org Look at our user profiles?
When I was 16, I fully expected to be able to build my own KITT car.

Some people value their privacy and some don't care. I was actually shocked to find that out 
back when I was a lurker, it really made you feel you need to join up to see stuff like that. When I was 16, I fully expected to be able to build my own KITT car.

Man this was so long ago I don't even remember the whole rationale around it. I think the deal was that since it didn't afford ANY privacy (because anyone can create an account, fairly anonymously, and for free, just to get to the profiles), that there was no sense in requiring login, and it was just annoying to people who might surf around trying out the site first, or who aren't always logged in when they're just reading posts.

If someone could make a compelling argument why they should be behind login, I'd be open to changing it, but it's been this way for at least the past few years. just someone who has been permabanned told me he was checking out my profile and it gives me the creeps. Thanks Ben, no worries. When I was 16, I fully expected to be able to build my own KITT car.

I think we, as a community, would be able to come to an agreement on what is the best course of action, going forward, if you were to elaborate on this predicament you find yourself in.

honestly, I thought permabanned folks lost the "extra" priviliges, not just posting When I was 16, I fully expected to be able to build my own KITT car.

Some folks never did come back. When I was 16, I fully expected to be able to build my own KITT car.

I wasn't aware until I read this thread that non-members could look up profiles. Thanks ZombieKitten for pointing this out. Can they also send org notes? If we have votes, I vote that only members can see profiles of other members. It just seems safer that way. | |
