People, if a member does not want you to know information such as their real name, age, and location, do not ask them for it. 8  out of 8 found this valuable. Do you?

Part of the problem here could be coming from the fact that the "vitals" information is being asked for in member's Profile Pages. It would help to delete it from the form people are being asked to provide/edit information to. In particular, "Name" and "Location" should be deleted. I don't recall that "Age" is being asked for. We also receive "instructions" to have members "update" their Profile Pages in PM's we all get....another way for problems to crop up. Do you find this valuable?

Unfortunately, the Profile Pages are a wetpaint template that we can do nothing about. What is happening in this instance is a member sending PMs soliciting personal information. Do you find this valuable?

For example: Hi! I'm (insert name here), what's yours? How old are you? Where do you live? Do you find this valuable?

The person responsible for those PMs is no longer a member on this site. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
