If opting out means I can chose not to be put on the list of people who visited, sure.
I stalk a lot of staff's profiles to be up to date with any site related stuff they may say in the forums or comments, so I'd hate to look as a stalker D:
As long as it has the option to be invisible from this I don't care if it's implemented. But it seems most people here think the same, so it'd be a waste of time doing a feature that so many people will opt out.
I do this a lot when I'm on the forums. "Oh this user has a nice HA, what's that item? Maybe they have it listed." Or... just because >.>
So I would hate this. I'm not a stalker! I'm just curious! STAHP.
I'm not sure I'd like this. While it would be really cool to see who came to my profile, I do frequent random ass profiles for very literally no reason and I feel like that would get awkward fast. Especially cuz I like to go back to said profiles to see if they changed anything. (Mostly those who make profiles, them I do stalk so I can see a profile being made. :D) But yeah. I'd opt out of being seen by people.
I'm crazy enough without everyone know it.
We both know you stalk me bb. ;)

LOL DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON MY EGOTISM IN RELATION TO CONSISTENTLY VISITING PROFILES I'VE MADE.
If this happened, would probably get scared of how much I visit her profile page.
..but really I just go to her page cus shes the only one I remember who has the more user info in her profile so I can get to the links & swap user ID.
Not a fan. I like my browsing privacy. If I want people to know I looked at their profile I'd just drop them a random comment like 'Hey man. Nice profile.'
Please no. It will make me nervous to visit a profile, tbh there is a chance that I'll stop to visit profiles.. I'm a shy person, and something like this can make go crazy, and my bad thoughts will start "to visit or not visit" "but he will know..."
I think this is an interesting suggestion, but I could see where a lot of users wouldn't see the point, myself included. I guess I could care less who visits my profile? If anything I just see it as a way to annoy the higher up staff like Keith and so on, I'm sure tons of people visit their profiles. lol
I do that on my own profile for other people too. xD Like, "I know I'll have links for it. gd the people that don't."
But, as for the actual suggestion, it's not something I would use, so I'm neither here nor there on it.
I wouldn't mind too much if this did become a feature, but I don't want it if we can't opt-out. I want the option to say no. No I do not want people knowing I visited their profile.
I'm amazed at how anal people are about what others would think if they knew you were merely checking their profile. Probably nothing, because it's not a big deal. People enjoy the voyeurism and friendly stalking of others, but someone suggests this may now backfire and everyone loses their mind and crawls under the closest rock as fast as possible
lol

I don't want you to know how much I stalk Marvox, who I consistently forget I can't find from your profile. (And now have to look up through pet stats woe is me)
Nope. No way would I participate. I like my privacy, thank you. I'd be particularly peeved if there was a time-stamp because I am paranoid like that.
Plus I'd probably experience a sense of dejection, just like I did on devART, if I didn't have very many people viewing my profile. "Never mind if I am not doing anything note-worthy... I want you to like me!" LOL
I wouldn't want this to be implemented -- I pretty much only go to peoples' profiles to creep on their wishlists and send them anonymous gifts and I don't want people to realize "username I don't recognize + anonymous gift a minute later = probably from that person". I'm gifting anonymously for a reason (ie, I don't want anyone to feel compelled to respond in any way, whether with a return gift or a "thank you" comment, as well as the fact that I get embarrassed really easily and even thinking about strangers knowing I'm visiting them makes me get kind of itchy).
Plus it could just lead to a lot of weird confrontations and excess drama and it's just. generally unnecessary.
i actually generally dislike this idea for the most part because there's probably some people who message you because " who the hell are you and why are you on my page", when all you're doing is wondering what their HA is wearing or maybe even check out their wishlist for either random generosity on anonymous, or secret santas/valentines/etc, or just for the hell of it and maybe see something you want or to add to your WL ( i mean that's how I got a majority of the items in my WL added there, because I saw them on other ppl's wishlists. ) of course that probably wouldn't happen for the majority of users obviously but, it kinda negates anon generosity or secret santas if we're just going to be found out anyway? like, that's the entire point of anonymity? like if we were going to see something like this I'd rather a "X amount of people are on your page" stat counter instead tbh.
he/it | I'm afraid I'm a bit lost around here. | | |
It seems like all this would end up doing is causing problems in the long run. More work for staff, more fuel for whatever fires people choose to set offsite, etc.
I wouldn't mind some sort of counter or something like that, as long as we had the options to opt out or keep it private, that would be cool to know. But beyond any sort of anonymous clicker, I think it's just an open invitation for trouble.
