If your worried someone will see your gold status just change it, as has been suggested.

Plus, all of the helpful stuff posted here wouldn't be indexed and then players wouldn't be able to find it on google. I know I found many helpful forum posts when looking into the game originally that way.

sounds like this privatizing request may be a personal thing... I think the 'blocking' feature will hide you from whoever.. and i think (not sure) but when you block someone, they cannot read your posts.. don't know for sure.. has someone blocked me?? can they read my posts??? lol

I agree. And name dropping only solidified my initial suspicions.

I can understand their need to see the rules and any game updates but in my opinion they do not need to see if I am - purely for example sake - getting along with Samberg.
Perhaps more would become part of this community if they had to sign in to read what is written here. I would love to see more here. I would love to see a more complete and therefore realistic view of what the players think and feel.
We are almost inbred.

People shouldn't post what they don't want people to read. Period.
I "ghost" read here a lot. I'm not really understanding why that should go away.

Adding: I'm soooo glad they moved us from FB to this forum! FB, was personal. Here, we can be who we want to be and people don't have to know.
