We have found that there are a number of members who post really great observations and topics on the forums..
Would a way to 'follow' here with notifications be a good idea? |

"Oh god no.
I have the follow option turned off whoever I can on other sites. The idea of strangers following everything I do is weird and uncomfortable for me."
Yeah! Utterly understand  it was just forum posts tbh. As there's a number that we really appreciate their posts..
The stalker factor did occur honestly |

I hope it doesn’t ever happen, and I mean for safety reasons.
Unfortunately fab block doesn’t affect forum posts and if you happen to have a stalker, it allows them to trace your every move.
I’m speaking from my own personal experience. |

Also they can interact with you this way.
As long as they don’t break any rules it’s easily done  |

Yes aware, we use it in both a 'we like what they're about' and a 'really they're not out type, avoid' context.
Totally get the 'stalker' feeling as has been mentioned but hasten to add this was a 'we like these guys, would like to hear what their thoughts are on other topics' thought, just as Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
In a large part not in an aim to meet also..

"I was more answering the stalker comments, I meant if someone wanted to check out anothers posts they could now anyway  "
Our misinterpretation.
The comments on our initial question stand though and obviously not detrimental to your input.

Again a familiar feeling..
Largely unless it's a 'rate my / would you / how big / my missus' post you can see the tumble drifting across the screen..  |

"There is a guy who I have never met and know. Who looks at my profile every hour for the last six months. Very creepy. I wouldn’t like people following me  "
If that was me I’d just block them.
Why be creeped out if you don’t need to be? |

"Oh god don't, already have the bloody minded brigade following me from post to post every so often  "
I love that though! The forum wouldn’t be half as much fun if you couldn’t serve ‘swerve balls’ to keep your ‘fans’ guessing……. |

I think like most things; if it's an option for those that would like it it's great and those that don't they can always ignore it.
As stated you can see what others have been posting/responding to and you get a list of updates from friends and people local anyway.
This site was written many many years ago; if it was being written today that would be fairly standard.
