Thread: Are you a stalker?

If I have responded to someone's posted question and don't get any indication that they've seen the response, I will check to see if they have logged on and had a chance to see my response.
Recently:
1. Questioner has not logged on since they asked the question. I start wondering, why'd they ask if they don't care?
2. Questioner has logged on since I posted an answer and not said thank you. I think, what an ungrateful cad.

Do you keep track of how many different avatars a certain member has had throughout their time on TC?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions...you are probably a TC-Stalker.

I love having LIKES...It makes my day...I never check other people likes...It's none of mu business.

However, there are times when this just can't be done, such as in the case of some of the more over-the-top personal attacks- or hate-speech... or racism. Those posts just can't stay, and it won't be clear why a user was banned- as the material responsible for the banning will NOT be allowed to sully the site.

I can think of a certain member who was obsessed with Bach, and apparently unable to control himself enough to stop coming here. There maybe would have been a legal situation if his posts were kept, hehe...

That's right everyone, I went there

Sort of a digression...Keep in mind that there are multiple possibilities in this scenario-
a) logs in to see response
b) reads response without logging in. (This could also happen if someone mislays their password, which I suppose is entirely within the realm of possibility for someone who posts simply for a snippet of music identification. AND if all they did was seek an answer to one question, they're probably not too put out by not having their password. It would also explain the lack of a "thank-you.")
c) the user involved reads reply in the "invisible mode" that's an option to all our established participants.

Hang on, I did not realise I was stalking TCers on my second day here at TC. I think I need to start stalking myself...

the worst part is when you see it says last visitor was you.
