Poll: Do you use Invisible Mode in MacRumours or not?

[iBlue]

Nope. I don't even conceal my real name. I even have published my kids' names online. People are generally much too paranoid about privacy online.

Until you find out how annoying and unsettling it is to be stalked online. I was rather blasé about online privacy until I learned that valuable lesson. I'm certainly not a hermit on the interwebs even still, but it's made me think a bit more about the stuff we put on the net. So yeah, maybe I am a bit paranoid but it's for good reason. There are a lot of twunts out there.

I'm retired, and all over the Internet every day, like flies on ****.

See if I care about note-takers.

 

[SDLSteve]

Nope, never used it.

 

[GoCubsGo]

I have but not for any specific reason really. I did it when I was on vacation and forgot to turn it off. I could care less who sees me, documents where I am, or informs me they know what I am up to. I mean as far as MR goes.

 

[alphaod]

I use it when I'm post whoring so people don't wonder why I've been on for 20 hours straight.

 

[archesdevil]

I didn't until I had to go to time-out. Now I am scared.

 

[r.j.s]

Never, my stalkers don't know I'm here. They're outside my window ...

Too true. You learn quickly how hard it is to hide on the internet when someone decides to be interested in you...

I like to at least keep my usernames and identities on different sites separate so I can hide on one site and not have to think about hiding on other sites. The Invisible feature can be helpful there.

Umm... no.
Why would I need to?
It's not like this is myspace or facebook.

 

[Luis]

No, since I have no reason for it. I'm glad the option exists though.

Refer back to a post or two above yours and you will find that some people do need it due to unfortunate occurrences.
