I just discovered this available from everywhere: http://roguepinball.com/reputation.php?uid=39 (http://roguepinball.com/reputation.php?uid=39)
What is it good for and why is there a need for it for everyone in the world?
-
I have no idea. Reputation is something done on forums, but I never did get it.
-
What do you mean with "..., but I never did get it."? It's available from every web search engine.
Google for "Itchigo profile roguepinball" and it's the first result shown.
Here is your reputation report: http://roguepinball.com/reputation.php?uid=1 (http://roguepinball.com/reputation.php?uid=1)
Here is your profile: http://roguepinball.com/member.php?action=profile&uid=1 (http://roguepinball.com/member.php?action=profile&uid=1)
I mean these data shouldn't be open and available for everyone. I don't like that and I will ask
you to remove/delete my profile, if it's a wanted feature of roguepinball. Sorry.
-
Yogi, I'm trying to understand. Your reputation and profile you want hidden? I think right now only logged in members can see this. I'll check the settings.
What I meant was the attraction of having reputation on any site. Pinball Nirvana has "reputation power". Why it's wanted is what I don't get. A lot of forums have it though.
-
Yogi, if you're not a member, or not logged in, this is what you get when trying to view a profile. The reason you could see things is your browser was logging you in automaticly when you searched.
Edit: I see that those links still work when unlogged. But, what's really happening is you're being logged on by clicking them.
Hmm, maybe not, now I see them unlogged.I'll put my best man on it. Oh Pintrepid...?

No, it's available for everyone, as I wrote. No login needed. I don't like and want that.
And no, it's not by automatical login!
Yes, I want my profile hidden and reputation too and what else. It's wrong that a lot of
forums have it. Quite the contrary. None has! I don't want to see my data published
openly for everyone.
I'm sorry and I don't worry too much, but as I don't see my data safe from misuse here,
I ask you to remove/delete my account now and at once without any further request.
I hope to see/meet you at the other known places more or less soon.
Thank you.

I'll be looking into his a little later today and will update in a while. This should be cleared up shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience ...
-
Yogi, I was wrong. At first I thought it was my autologin was showing it. This is not the case. You are correct, and I totally agree about safety.
What I had meant before was I didn't get the attraction to having something like reputation, but most sites have it. But, having it able for non members to view is another matter entirely.
Edit: It seems to be ok now. Pintrepid said there were some remnant files left over from the forum conversion that were causing trouble.
-
I've gone through the server and purged the offending fylez. There are no more unauthorized Profile Views.

Hi, yogi;
There may have been some unintentional 'wordplay' above; the expression "I never did get it" can mean:
1) never did receive it
2) never did obtain it
but often also means:
3)never did understand/comprehend it
4)never did appreciate it
I believe Itchigo was employing #3. :) Get it?
Gregg ::)

Äh, what? No, please explain in German. I don't understand/comprehend/get it. ;D
I thought about possible different meanings and wasn't exactly sure (as often). So I
intentionally used the meaning of "to receive".
However, I just to tried to make some fun, although the real "problem" was meant serious.
-
3, and probably a little bit of 4 too. But you have to understand I wasn't even computer literate until 2010 or so. So a few sites I'm on is all I know. But I do take things like that seriously though. The problem is I have limited knowledge of java/html. I have to ask Pintrepid's help for a lot of things as I can't do them, and he has many things going on as well. But I can fumble around a bit and sometimes surprise you. The IP showing fix? That was me, but nopt before I crashed the site first. ;D
-
Whatever, keep cool, problem seems to be solved.
I'm sorry that I had to bring it up, but I discovered that by accident and I was nearly sure it's not ok that these data are published.

Well, we really appreciate your feedback about that. I have somewhat limited time for pinball these days. And Mr. Itchy be a Newbie (as he said hehehe! ;D ). I don't always know if there's a problem like that. So it's good that you brought it to our attention. Thanks again.
