theadmiral Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 AceKingston has checked my profile at least 6 times between 10 o'clock and 12 o'clock and i'm pretty worried about it and find myself wondering why. Has someone viewed your profile excessively? Would you like to ask that user to explain themselves? Please feel free to post in this thread to confront them about their behavior and ask for justification. But please keep it civil!

MarshalMoo Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I always make sure to log out before I view someone's profile. theadmiral 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EphemeralStar Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I think he has a crush on you. >w< I also go on anon when I want to look at a person's profile, but it's rare that I do. I think you should ask Ace himself why he creeps you so much. Even if he stops, he may just go on anon though.. theadmiral 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theadmiral Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Wow, two people have responded saying they either log out or go anon to view other peoples profiles. Is this common practice? I never read that much into it. Could it be my profile is being viewed even more than is readily apparent by stealthy, sneaky types? I don't know what to think now.

Exkabewbikadid Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 As long as you're not revealing any sensitive information in your profile, there is no real reason to be concerned. At most, someone can stalk your posts. theadmiral 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panz Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) I also go on anon when I want to look at a person's profile, but it's rare that I do. How do you go Anonymous? Ever since the forum update, I haven't been able to figure out how to do it. I'm sure it's ridiculously obvious. And yeah, AceKingston sure does get around.

Finn 7 five 11 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Yeah ace views my profile all the time too, I don't think he's particularly fascinated by anyone, so get over yourself. He just probably has a thing for checking peoples stats against each other. I don't see the point of anonymously viewing a profile though, who cares if someone sees that you looked at them? It's a forum, and ultimately, the opinions of other people on you don't really matter all that much. Post what you want to post and leave it at that. Once again i'll congratulate you on another ironically worthless topic, and I wouldn't have posted but a Mod commented here so I guess it's staying. @Panz, going anonymous? Log out and view the profile. Edited January 18, 2014 by •¿F¡ññ4L¡ƒ£?• Audiophile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theadmiral Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 btw admiral I creep your profile so much I have it set as my homepage. I don't know why anyone would say this is a worthless topic. This is something that all of us wonder and think about but never really bring up . It is like the 500 pound elephant in the room. I'm glad that you can admit it. I don't notice you stalking my profile so I'm assuming you do it using a covert method. I don't know why it is so unsettling to see someone check your profile over and over again but for some reason it is. I don't know if i'd call it paranoia but it is definitely something.

Log out and view the profile. Pretty much what I wanted to post but refrained from posting after I'd reported the topic from being overall quite worthless. Such a concern, if it's even a valid one, should be reported or PM'd to a mod. Don't see what this has to do with general-chat. This is basically a personal concern but because of the question at the end, made passable as a topic for general chat for people to discuss their profile views. I am guessing this topic is here to stay so meh. @theadmiral I have personally never wondered this. I don't even look at who viewed my profile while I am on my profile page. I only ever go there to edit my signature or profile picture/tag. So already, it's not something "everyone" wonders. This is quite pointless.

But this is an internet forum, why the f*ck do you care if someone knows you viewed their profile? If there is a reason you did it simply explain the reason if you feel compelled to do so, and then it should be fine, but it should be fine anyway. I don't know why anyone would say this is a worthless topic. This is something that all of us wonder and think about but never really bring up . It is like the 500 pound elephant in the room. I would say it's worthless because you stated in the opening post that the entire point of the topic was to call out people on their viewing of your profile, and I find that interesting because the most sure-fire way to do that would be to send them a message, rather than trying to publicly shame them/make another topic to post in 40 times before starting an argument and getting it locked. I'm glad that you can admit it. I don't notice you stalking my profile so I'm assuming you do it using a covert method. Are you talking to me or Tacymist?

Audiophile Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Why do you view anyone who challenges your opinion and actually legitimately tries to debate it as "angry" or upset or whatever else you can think of? I have seen you do it time and time again to avoid participating in an actual intelligent debate with someone. I suppose when you have nothing to counter with, it's easy to tell someone they are upset or angry.

But I was talking to Tacymist. If you lived in Australia and you knew what kind of person (Pub Club goer) I was you would understand that I use the F word doesn't even constitute anger at all, it's no different to saying "why on earth" and that profanity was not directed at you anyway. Call it what you want, but yeah, I have an Agenda, it's to make you realize why people do not like you, I was simply stating the truth in you constantly barraging other people's topics and saying they are worthless, then you go and make one the same to call someone out rather than just sending a message which would achieve your goal and answer your question, and I suspect the reason you do this is because you either want to up your post count, or you simply don't realize that an inbox would be much more effective and concise. If anyone is making attacks it's you, first off you are attacking Ace Kingston by shaming him in the creation of a topic designed for just that, then you simply act condescending towards me when a solution is offered. You are making as many veiled attacks as anyone, then trying to call others out on it. Quit being a hypocrite, if you're going to do that, at least admit the hypocrisy.

WinterEdit Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Ah! Good that my name hasn't come up yet. My stalking skills appear to be exquisite. ...um, I mean, I never stalk anyone. Alright, let's get on-topic then, shall we? No, I do not care about my profile being viewed. Even though it has been viewed ~6,500+ times (from which someone has most likely done the F5 Refresh trick) I don't mind. Because it boosts my ego to new levels to see so many people actually care about me. Or if it's just one person refreshing it 6,500 times, then at least one person cares about me. <3 Oh... wait... I was supposed to post here only if I was concerned about the profile viewing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theadmiral Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 ^ I'd say you can post about anything involving profile viewing even though the OP was asking if you were concerned, so no harm no foul.
