Hi,

To make you aware that you don't have to be a member of Fab to see a profile. If you put in a user name and fabswingers in Google, the profile will come up.

So, maybe someone is booted but they can still get your profile and perhaps use it against you!

Seems a flaw?!

It can take a couple of weeks to come off the search though so don't keep looking as it will take longer

Interestingly you can still see the forum threads you've posted to if you do a search on your own ID

Your picture is pixilated though isn't it unless you're a member?

I changed my privacy settings the first day I joined.

Anyone can make a profile, they just need an email address. Then they can look at your profile as much as they want. If they set their privacy settings you won't even know they looked 1,000 times a day. Or that they live on your street.

Best bet is to have a user name that is a well used phrase in the forum, such as timewaster, or pinch of salt.

That way, even if they google your name and fabswingers, your profile is lost in an ocean of useless forum posts.

Or just change privacy settings.

Or both. Whatever.
