Title: (+1 Hidden)
Post by: Sugar Dick on April 22, 2010, 01:28:00 PM
When reviewing the "who's logged in" at the top of the page I noticed there was one hidden person.  What does this mean? 

Is this a tool BMW uses to  troll "sub rosa style" giving him time to prepare one of his many asinine posts?  Why would anyone need to read a message board under an identity other than guest or a hilarious pseudonym?  Double identity protection  :dunno:

Mods, no need to move this thread, the hidden user was reading the basketball board, therefore it's a basketball related topic.

yeah. i don't know. never really understood this either. seems to me like you could just log off and view as guest and then log back on and view as yourself when you were ready. unless some of the boards aren't accessible to guests, which might be the case. not sure though. we'll have to wait til a mod shows up for confirmation or denial to this.

when you set up your profile you can select to have it show when you're online, or appear that you're not.  if you choose to appear that you're not online, then you show up as +1 hidden.  different than a guest b/c a guest hasn't registered.

Got it, registered guests.

Can you post as hidden?  Like a ghost :scary:

yeah, i got/get it too. i just don't get why someone would do it. i guess it's easier than logging off and then back on. barely.

I can see BMW doing it...hitting refresh every 5 seconds on his own threads while beating off.

It would probably take me longer to figure out how to be logged on as "hidden", than it would for goEMAW.com to email me my password that I forgot the second I created my account. 

I originally thought the (+1 hidden) person was someone that had me on "ignore", not sure if you can do that over here.  Michi Cat would probably do it to me if you could.  FP, TC, etc. . .

He and his armies tracked me here.  I should have never come here.  I've endangered you all.

Based on my keen detective skillz over the last 10 minutes, I'm 93.7% sure the (+1 Hidden) is BMW.
