Why do folk put the long disclaimers on there profiles, most times, it's actually longer then their actual profile about them text..

What do they think it actually means and does.. and most don't even have any pictures or the like on the profile or on show to be used or stolen

Site owners would prefer people didn't put this rubbish on their profiles - so much so that there is even a site FAQ on the subject :

We've noticed a legal disclaimer paragraph that some people have on their profiles. Should we have one too? What are they about? Do they do any good?

The "legal disclaimer" is pointless nonsense and all does is take up extra space on our servers. Please remove it if you have it on your profile. If you're worried about privacy please set your account to be hidden from non-registered users on your privacy page (this also hides it from search engines but may take a week or two to drop out of search) and remove the notice (and encourage others to do likewise).

Common sense advice would be NOT to put any information on your profile (here, or on any such site) that could identify you or that you don't want to become public! So for your own benefit, don't post phone numbers, real names or email / instant message addresses on your profile that people might see or "Google".

Some people may put non-identifying pics on their public profile but keep face pics private or for friends, for example.
