Did you know you could googled using your GN name?

I am definitely going to change my username after this to something less unusual!

...And we will still see all of your GN posts, forever...

Well then there's nothing to worry about, is there?

Anniezzz, maybe some of us haven’t been on the site for as long as you, so perhaps will not have seen the previous threads on this subject.
Whatever the case, I still think it’s worth repeating, if only as a reminder to keep private details private .

GNHQ will prolly delete any posts that risk your privacy if you report them.

Or just add some b******t to pad it out a bit -Ye olde trail of breadcrumbs.

I sort of knew. Then forgot.
?
I just googled ny user name without GN and loads of my posts came up.
Oh heck.
I feel like leaving.

I share but not names. I have in the past said ‘it’s my birthday today’. ‼️

Calm down, check your posts before you get stressed.

Report any that have privacy issues to GNHQ.

...Or rejoin with a new name... I didn't read any that would dox you.

This could be a blessing in disguise.

Luckily I’ve not posted any photos of the grandchildren or family members.

I’ve calmed down. I think I’d just forgotten ‘it’s out there’. Thank you for this thread - it’s a timely reminder to be more circumspect.

Posts on a public forum won’t have anything to do with GDPR.

I googled and got pages and pages of one of the GN Games fora I post on.......

gransnet soops googled in images brings up the most.

The pages and pages of various grandchildren was a bit of a surprise!

Just why? I wonder if they have the parents' permission?

I googled my use name and just came up with places to visit etc. If I add my user name and gransnet on the end it comes up with several of my old posts . Although I am careful not to post names I will be even more careful in future

I've just searched some usernames using the Bing search engine. Not one came up. That's why I never use Google.

ananinous "GNHQ will prolly delete any posts that risk your privacy if you report them." That won't help - even deleting stuff from Gransnet doesn't delete it from Google's archive.

I'm confused by this Merylstreep - if Google is the more efficient search engine, as Bing came up with none, why do you never use Google?

Bing is not as effective as Google.

Threads and thread posters deleted by gransnet will not be visible on searches.

So any posts or threads you have posted, ever, that you worry about, just ask GNHQ to delete them asap.

Of course my posts are there: it's google ?

That link is ALL of your posts on GN.
Meryl, you do not have to be rude about it, I simply drew your attention to your own posts.

I always read your post in a high, fast, angry voice LOL!

Caps is VERY LOUD, high, fast, angry voice...

Your 1st post is deleted by GN because you doxed someone's name. Lol! Tsk tsk tsk
