Be careful what/how you post
by PigPen Sat 08 Nov 2014, 15:23
Hey gang, an FYI. Went to Google to look up Ben Weiss and found COH including this:
I didn't have to search the statement, it was listed as one of the options to click on.
I was unaware of how easily accessible our comments are. So, an ounce of caution is worth a pound of embarrassment.

I noticed that yesterday when I was googling for info on a certain ex boyfriend. When I entered his name then the thread I supposedly started came up pretty quckly. And for the record I didn't start the thread, the resident neat-freak did when she was doing her usual cleaning (moving posts, merging threads etc). 
But yes this is an open board and things we write hear can be found on Google search. So people should be careful what usernames they have and what they post.

Silje... not sure of whom you speak when referring to neat freak. But- it is the responsibility of our Monitors to keep threads on topic ( as best as can be done, given our tendency to go way off topic-- like I'm doing now) lest COH would be a complete mess. They provide new threads/merge threads as they deem necessary. God bless them. Their work can be trying at times, and they give of their time freely. Thank you ladies. What would we do without you!
And, before this turns into a thread to bitch about what people do not like about the forum... remember...Google is watching!!

Start taking the pills now PP !
Just think of all the satellites floating around up there.
One is sure to homing into your windows !
That reminds me....the tourist helicopter flights that
go around Vagas at night.....the pilots like to look into the bedroom windows that have their lights on but no blinds down.
So Be Warned !

There's a helicopter flying around at night here very often and I was wondering, if they could see me in bed watching TV.
Now I know they can.

Ok, I'm being the dumb one here but what was it that PigPen found that showed how easily accessible our comments are?
And yes, this site is public and searchable (and indexed) by google and other search engines.

mmh the way I understood it. PigPen googled Ben Weiss and our comments/thread below came up in Google. I guess she didn't know that COH threads come up in Google too

Yes, I Googled Ben Weis. And yes, I knew you could grab access to COH by Googling George. What floored me was the quote from Mel ( as I first posted) was there without having to click on to any topic. Melbert is out there for the whole world to see without any effort. Now, no offense to Mel , but I'm not sure why Google chose that specific posting to feature. It could have been a posting by any one of us. That's why I posted my finding.
Clear as mud, right?

I'm no Internet whizz but could it be when pig pen googled Ben This site came up because that's in her particular search engine, if it was someone who doesn't come here but googled Ben then possibly their linked search would come up as something else? Just a thought

Yes, google likes to present its results depending on what it thinks you'll want to see as well as sites visited before.Picachu wrote:I'm no Internet whizz but could it be when pig pen googled Ben This site came up because that's in her particular search engine, if it was someone who doesn't come here but googled Ben then possibly their linked search would come up as something else? Just a thought
Having said that, I'm not really convinced that their algorithms are that great that they really offer a personalised serviced for each and every one of us. As to how/why google chooses exactly what it shows from its findings is anyone's guess!
But yes, clearly our Melbert is special!
