Public Profile (be aware)

I had my email and other info i the public profile, so that other prince fans could get in contact with me and know who i am. We all share the same intrest. But yesterday someone here did abuse my info and have at several sites where amazon.com is one. registeres me as users. My public profile is now empty and has to be so.

this is just a warning to you all and i do hope the mods will do something about this abuse of trust, because if not they can remove the public profile... since it is being abused.

I'm really sorry this happened to you and glad that you posted this warning. I think most people here do realise that publishing your email address on any public website brings risks ... it's a pity that people do things like this but that's the world we live in sigh

I think you exaggerate quite a bit. The only "risk" there is, is that you might get spammed.

It isn't. You're assuming that this is the place where they got your addy, but in reality you really don't know for sure.

In that case I suggest you look for a better ISP. Many offer free spam filters and unlimited email boxes.

Putting your emailaddress in your profile is a bad idea. I had to realize this myself, after a guy kept on sending me mails saying he would kill himself. As this was a hotmail-address, some people also added me on messenger. First they started talking about Prince, then they started asking what my pussy looked like.

no no no! Nice try but...

Man, you can't believe what kind of pics I got this way. I still have difficulty overcoming them. neutral

In a way, the same shit in orgnotes is not that bad. It feels like they're not intruding your privacy on the same level.

That's fucked up! You should name and shame motherfuckers like that.

It amounts to unequivocal harassment.

Hope it didn't affect to too badly , Marie rose

It didn't affect me, it was just not very cool. The strange thing is, from the moment I started to open up on this site and meeting nice people (like you Senik), these weirdos stopped harrassing me.
