Why don't people fill out their ICQ profiles with info that identifies who they are?! - GoFuckYourself.com

Furious_Female · 11-26-2003, 10:25 PM

I have all my preferences set not to let random idiots find me... but they still do, fact of ICQ but anyway, it would be nice if everyone filled out their ICQ profiles so people you are ICQing/requesting authorization from can tell if you are a random foreigner trying to cyber with you or "be your friend" as they say or someone you actually want to talk to!!

I'm sure I ignore 10 or 20 people a day, that I'd probably like to talk to, because I can't tell who the hell they are

I don't fill mine out so fools can't contact me to spam their sites or for cyber like they seem to do you. Maybe you want to follow my lead and erase your info.

One word...Acacia

I dont need anymore headaches from those weasels

rowan · 11-26-2003, 10:29 PM

I must be lucky, I get a lot notices about people adding me to their list, but many of them never say anything to me. I don't think I've ever had an ICQ convo that wasn't webmaster related.

JDog · 11-26-2003, 10:30 PM

Shit, the spammers will find ya, no matter what, they just need a program that will send it and generate the numbers randomly.

But hell, I deal with so many ICQ's a day, that I don't give a shit anymore, anybody can have it, hell it's in my sig now, but I don't talk to them, unless they verify who the hell they are!

You should see my profile, its all full of details!

Speaking of which, someone just added me to their ICQ list and I have no idea who they are.... you're right, it is annoying!

Paul Markham · 11-26-2003, 11:39 PM

Why do people add you to their list, want to be added to your list, then never contact you?

Delete 20 or so of them every week.

BRISK · 11-26-2003, 11:45 PM

The more info you have in your ICQ profile, the more likely it is that you will be contacted by random people because their search criteria matched the info in your profile.

If you enjoy being hounded by random people, then you should fill out everything.

I am not sure what your are doing, but I have a full profile in my ICQ and I received Spam only twice in my whole ICQ time. So, it was easy to take them on the ignore list. But probably I am just a lucky guy
