Thread: Facebook connect?

  1. Default

    How about this. If you are worried about privacy, don't post on PF's facebook page.


    Is that really that hard?

    LOL no it's not. So we won't be, because again, it was a stupid idea.

    What could happen? Most use their real names on Facebook and pseudonyms here.

    Maybe you should post a sticky about the Facebook feature. Or maybe one has been posted and I've just missed it? So far I've heard different reasons why it exists in the first place. Is it a backup site in case this forum goes down? That's the latest I've heard.

    I agree... people who are concerned with privacy shouldn't post on PF's facebook page.

    It's just they won't know they need to be concerned with privacy until it's too late.

    What's a person to do???

    As far as I can figure Facebook connect is a way to sign into Facebook and have an instant link. It has nothing to do with the PF FB page per se.

    Facebook already has tons of privacy issues. If you don't want to share or have something to hide be careful what you post, or put on your profile. Adjust your settings so only friends can view your profile or posts, or make them private. However, it is the internet, and people should have realized this long before Facebook.

    Then again, if we all knew each other we'd probably be a lot more civil.

    Someone got a reputation point and that's bad how?


    (they most likely posted their photo here and it was recognized.)

    You're right not to be concerned, Sly. It's very doubtful anybody would go to the trouble to find the real you.

    Its happened to me personally by a flea bagger from your side. And I didn't put myself out there. A mod on another forum gave them my IP and they harassed myself and my family through mail. I could never get my hands on them but you are a fool if you think it can't happen.
