I'm being followed

[Rgarner]

Recently I appear to have gained some followers on here. That's shocking. Just in case, how would I keep track of them?

Every now and then you can check your Profile page. Scroll down to Following/Followers then tap on Followers>Show all. I might have missed a step there. BRB

I guess you'd have to tap on each one to see what they've been up to. HTH

Now that you mentioned it, it always feels like somebodys watching me...

 

[joe71]

I noticed that I have gained some followers, clearly people with too much free time
A big hello to my followers

 

[Steven58]

I like followers. I try to set a good example for them to follow.

 

[jhtalisman]

I have noticed it also. They are apparently Russian related spammers. I have reported 2 of them recently. They all have set their homepages to Russian based dating or porn sites.

 

[Steven58]

Me? I don't pay much attention to followers, nowadays.

Exactly!!!

I havent been on much, last post in ...August...
I come in and I have 7 people following me...Not all at once,it seems a new follower every few days starting in September

weird

haha.. I've never surfed this forum
It seems I am not alone, in being followed

So I checked, 3 are .ru sex sites
the others show no signs, no recent posts. In fact they look inactive for 3+ years on each

Somebody close to you said: "One more flop, and it's over."

Somebody said they were close to me?

 

[MrJavi]

I view being followed in forums as a compliment.

 

[Steven58]

(Steven looks behind him. He, too, is being followed!)

Sorry Yoda, you should be using the force to sense when someone is following you? You getting lazy on us????

 

[jhtalisman]

It seems that these new followers are Russian hackers/bots finding inactive accounts to hijack. All the ones that have recently followed my account have had no activity for multiple years.

I will continue to report these accounts.

 

[Milo Willamson]

I too either, feel cute when I am being followed on this place, or feel so ugly because something is wrong with them.
Horribly wrong with them...

Good one, no offense Mr. Steven58

None taken

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Some of my Followers won't let me say hello.
I guess Privacy is reaching peak.

 

[today]

Russian bots? Totally makes sense. I've achieved about a dozen "followers" in the last year. None of them with any reason to follow me. I'm stationary.

Perhaps we all need eyes in the back of our heads...where's Danny Thomas when you need him?

That was the episode with the walnuts, right? So funny!

 

[olbriar]

Speak for yourself and who are you?

 

[MoodyBlues]

I don't know...I forgot...oh, you meant someone else...whatever, let me get back to rocking my chair on the front porch...

OT: I was gonna run with that. Carry on.
