Been debating making my photos public / not need to be a friend. My main hesitation is being recognized because I’ve been on a couple reality shows, and then there’s social media.
At the same time though I feel like others on here have positive intentions, right? I like to see the good in people so I would like to think it’d be okay.. but you never know.
Has anyone had a negative experience with someone finding you or trying to blackmail you?
I’d error on the side of caution. You can always send photos via PM once you are engaged in a conversation.
No problem sharing once a good communication and a real possibility of meeting. Not nudes until in you own private space though
Please note : profiles are “public” on ABFheaven only in the sense that they can be viewed by other logged-in members. Your profile can not be viewed by the general public, so to speak.
Similarly, your Media pictures could only ever be viewed by other logged-in members ( Friends or anyone, depending on your preferences )
I’ve purposely not put any sort of pic as my avatar because those are actually visible without being logged in. In forum discussions etc.
I also tend to be cautious, just out of habit. It’s best not to reveal too much about yourself until you actually meet someone face-to-face and get to really know each other. Sharing a face snap or two between fellow members is safe enough, although a ‘discretion’ photo – something that makes you unique without revealing your face – for your profile image is wise, which many other members have done.
I feel like if someone you know is on here, they would have to expose themselves because they’re here too. How can someone black mail you when they’re into the same thing
I have never had a person outside this membership recognize me as far as I know. But I understand your concern. You can manage this through the “Friend Request” feature here. So only after a possible friend asks you to be their friend and you accept, do they have access to your private pictures. It could be a good solution for you. It m8ght be good to ask Michael, the admin if I understand this correctly beforehand just to be sure. I know your livelihood (money) is in the balance here for you. Be wise, AND be careful too and always ENJOY, my friend.
