Title: Hidden Users
Post by: Legends-Lounge on Sunday, January 13, 2019, 19:46:25
As @ 19.52 on Sunday 13th January there were 5 YES, 5 hidden users who for whatever reason have decided that THEIR annonimity was soooo precious as to not let you or me know who they were. Why? What have they got to hide and do who?

Correct. I never worked for MFI either. So, why do individuals feel the need to be annonyomous when the rest of us are not. Whether your user name is real or not, in IMHO not the issue.

BTW it is either you are or You’re....

(Only joking. Don't really care who is on a footie forum)

Hidden user is pretty much just "hiding" the online status (ie Green/White box). The user isn't hidden to you, per se. I think some likely use it for different reasons. I'm a "hidden" user but you can still see me. I couldn't give a fuck if you're "hidden" or not. It's a feature, an option, call it what you may. Ironically you're using an element of the feature because you either have it "on" or "off".

And some say I create utterly pointless threads  ;)

But as we all know from TV, nobody can really  hide there due to gaydar.

I know a few who used to do it as their boss was on the forum as well.

I assume Legends is your real first name then, Mr Lounge?

Wouldn't even know what grndr is if it wasn't for tinternet. I take that it's a type of tinder/bumble, dating app? How anyone's sexual preference has anything to do with hiding your online status, on the TEF is anyone's guess?!

As Jayo said, there's a whole irony to your thread because if we're talking about "identity", Mr. Lounge is concealing just that.

We're all hidden to a degree, I suppose.  Very few (if any) on here use their real names.  There's a degree of anonymity there that probably helps discussion on the forum.

Spoiler: my real first name is not Osvaldo.

LL used to post under a different name, got a bit of ribbing for something or other deleted the account and came back in the current guise.
