If we choose to post something here, it can be read. Do I think it's okay to post it elsewhere without asking permission? No. That's creepy too. We can either decide to put ourselves out there with a good heart and the hope that folks reading it will have good hearts and no malicious agenda, or hide our sunny little hearts under a rock ![]()

I actually prefer GB Currency due to the exchange rate.

Wow, I had no idea that different membership levels have different privacy levels, that the "higher" up you are, the less able others are, to see where you visit on the site, if I'm understanding correctly.
Heightened invisibility, then, becomes a kind of reward? That's intriguing. In the city where I live, class differences determine levels of privacy. Having private outdoor space is a luxury beyond what most people can dream of. Even having yoru own room, in many families, is both an experience of privacy and a determinate of class status. Privacy, exposure—really interesting things to think about. |

I am sure there are people who purchase Sentinel memberships solely so they can be invisible to other members. Speaking for the Planet, all members are valued equally, regardless of their ability to pay. A Sentinel member is no less likely to be given a timeout for bad behavior than a non-paying member. For free, everyone is able to access all areas of the Forum, post a few gallery photos, send private messages, use chat and interact with community members from all over the world. People who are able or choose to also contribute financially can do all of that, plus, depending on the level of financial support, can have more photos, send more private messages and if they choose, be invisible to other members. We (The Admin/Mod Team) have had the class discussion many times in private and in person. We do not solicit funds from the membership, we do not post threads threatening to take the site down if $xxx.xx doesn't come in immediately. No salaries are taken by anyone on the site. Funds beyond the cost of operating this site (paying server fees, taxes, postage, etc.) are disbursed via donations or scholarships. I think of it like this: We choose to come here and participate. Some people are able to pay, and some aren't. Some are able to pay and choose not to. Those that are able or choose to contribute financially get additional "services" which they may choose to use, or not. Regardless, everyone who follows the TOS is welcome to sign up and use the resources here for free.

I did not realize it bothered anyone if members were invisible, now that I know...I will remain visible.

Hmm...I'm a sentinel. I keep myself set on invisible simply because I'm a nerd like that.
I never really thought about it as being "private" though, because I am fully aware that at least SOMEONE (actually multiple folks) can see anything I do at any time. Whether it be admin, mods or other sentinel members, I am truly *not* invisible. The minute I post, it's viewable to everyone. I am exposed the minute I log on to this site, and any other site I visit. The only way anything will ever be truly private, is if it's kept in your head. |

For me, I have that odd, cynical conspiracy theory mind. So when someone says to me that it bothers them that I'm invisible, it makes me wonder why they feel the need to monitor the activities of others. "I don't like that I can't see you unless you post" for example. I can understand if folks have legitimate concerns such as stalkers or whatnot, but in general? I see no harm or no issue with folks being invisible. Yeah, I donated and have that option. That was choice. For a long time, I didn't have that option. Did it bother me that others did? Not a bit. |

I don't see anything wrong with invisiblity being a perk for paid members. I think people should get rewarded for membership!
I didn't even know paid membership was an option here (I just joined). I must have missed it. Someone said they don't push it and there you go; I didn't even notice it, it's so un-pushed. It did feel kind of funny when I realized every time I visited someone's profile, I left a calling card in the form of my screen name on their "who last visited" list. I felt sort of exposed. But on the other hand, I like seeing who has visited my profile—I guess I can't have it both ways (unless I join). Nice to have a choice... I have no idea where I'm going with this, just commenting, taking it in. |

So now everyone is making me wonder if I would participate differently on the site, if I were invisible. Is that what we used to call "lurking"? But "lurking" has negative connotations, and I think the invisibility we're talking about here, since condoned, and consensual in that everyone knows the deal, doesn't have any ethical problems associated with "lurking." |

I don't care as to who visits my profile, the only one I do care about is my wife. Folks are gonna look folks up to post on their profile page so it automatically shows up, unless one is invisible. It's just an operating feature of the site.

Can a Sentinel (or above) member see who is invisible? If Apocalipstic is invisible, is she invisible to everyone or just invisible to those who don't have that capability?
I always took lurking to mean following a thread without posting in it. And then there is 'threading stalking' a person. I thread stalk June because I like to read what she writes.....I have a long standing crush on the poodle and can't help myself....meaning I click on her name and click on the see more posts and then read everything she writes in every thread. Going to the way back machine and seeing what Toughy posted 10 years ago is an eye opening experience...........laughin.....
