    What's private info, what's not

    I'm considering putting an asterisk (*) at the beginning of forum titles that are visible to the general public as a reminder for members (in case they are afraid of posting critical information that they don't want the general public to see).

    I know that personally, I keep forgetting which threads are visible to the general public, and which are only visible to members. I have to keep logging out and looking at the forum as a reminder.

    Does anyone think that would be a waste of time to put the (*) there? It's kind of a pain for me to do - but I want opinions.

    Thanks,
    Alie

    It's not a bad idea but if its a pain in the ass, don't bother. We can also just assume that if were talking about secret stuff its most likely in a secure area. Right?

    I think the asterisks would help remind newbies such as myself.

    Ok, so I put an asterisk (*) at the end of forum titles that are Safe and Secure for you to post whatever you wish without fear of scratchers reading it. I think it looks a little ugly, so I'm not sure if I'll leave it that way or not. Maybe I'll get an idea of something else to do that isn't as icky-looking.

    If I get lots of positive feedback that people like the asterisk, perhaps I'll leave it, but if nobody says anything, I may make it go away.

    That would require you take away the internet. I am not sure what you think is on here that is so detrimental to the industry if an untrained person is able to read the site. Have you seen the MD forum the nick baxter forum? hell youtube? you all found this site likely due to a google search. If the whole site is locked down you will be talking to the same people forever on here.

    why does everyone want to hide stuff we all in the same trade why not share some of these so called scratchers are better tattooist than the shop tattooist don let it go back to secrets ....we all want a better industry then make it better and help people if your a good enough tattooist you wont lose out ....hell one day we might need they help who knows .............if they want info from else where they will find it .....but if they told the right way the industry wins by better quality of tattooing ........we all started somewhere we didnt start doing perfect colour line work shading sit down and think how long we as pro tattooist stopped scratchy work to a good solid tattoo ..........my input ...........no harm intended

    I agree with you rotary works to a point but I think keeping the site locked a bit keeps a little accountability of who post and what advice they are giving.
