Privacy Concerns

[King Zarathu]

shit shit.. i was over at some friends house and.. ok **** the story.. the point is, my friends AND maybe my girlfriend if i can convince her (she needs some advice.. lol) are gonna be in here, and i wouldn't want my g/f reading all the shit i type about her.

my suggestion is, why don't we put a textbox of all the users that can NOT read the thread? and, in order for this to be approved, guests aren't allowed to read it either, due to privacy concerns.

haha you shouldn't have told your gf about this site. there is no way that there can be a private forum. or atleast i don't think there is a way to block certain users out.

i didn't tell her about this site. but if you guys can figure out a way to block certain users out i will tell her about this place. dude, i KNOW there's a way to do it. i program in a LOT of different computer languages, one of which being ASP.. it's easy. you program like this:

normally everytime you view a thread it records the name of the user who views the thread. this is proven because it has a VIEWS count, and only one view per user, so if the user views it more than once it won't count as twice. you program in THIS format:

you have a textbox at the thread post that says "Anybody you wanna block out, place usernames here: ________" okie dokie it saves that thread ID number AND a username in a database.

If THREADVIEWER = "username in the database" Then
Show Reject.html
End If

(reject.html being the page it would show that says "you have blocked out of this thread, reason: "sorry biatch i don't want you lookin' at mah SHIT!")

but that's in a gay Visual Basic 6.0 format and this is PHP.. dude i know you can it's too possible. loveadmin or any programmers/mods, anything to say?

haha alright, i'm not the programmer of this site and i know jack shiet about programming. if loveadmin comes around maybe he can answer this question.

Why dont you just not tell your gf about this site? Dont you think it'd be just as bad if she registers and knows there are threads here about her but she cant access them

[Illusional]

that might be a better idea. then she won't wonder why you're always on this site, however she can't find any of your posts. raverboy

[KirstyM]

Yeah; and if I were her and I tried to access something and got a page saying "you have blocked out of this thread, reason: "sorry biatch i don't want you lookin' at mah SHIT!" and the person who had blocked me was my boyfriend, I would flip out.

[Illusional]

i'd get even and post something really personal like "why is my sex life so shitty" or "i have recently found someone else". i would get even.

Eh you wanted privacy of any sort the internet is not the place to be, plain and simple.

[AdminOnline]

Technically, it is possible to block a user from the forum if she come from the same IP.

[King Zarathu]

hmmm you guys are right. i was using my g/f as an example. what do you mean if they came from the same IP? I think there would be an IP block as well.. considering it matches with the username. unless they have dial up, which a lot of people still do. well, nevermind the thing i guess.

You are definately right.. you must be a woman.


thanks anyways, it was just an idea.

haha blue.. i think that you're missing the first part of each quote.. the [quote] portion because you're either, drunk, or not being able to quote other users.
