rankamateur Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 No problems providing info but why does it need to be public?.....google now outsourcing?Quite willing to fill out surveys or whatever for your...ah.......marketing. In the modern world identity theft is rife. I try to maintain a minimum online footprint. I buy my online thongs three sizes smaller for that very reason! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit12 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Sheesh, we talk about our kids living in the age of entitlement and yet here we have adults who aren't prepared to put in a little to gain a lot. I'm all for protection of personal information, but seriously Google already knows a heck of a lot more about all of us than what aircraft we fly most, what licence we have, or even where we live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winsor68 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 What about those of us who have lapsed Ra Aus certificates...? We can't really claim another field besides enthusiast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 This is what Google and every other search bot plus every member of the public that is not registered on the site sees when they try to view a user's profile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 And, this is what Google and every other search bot plus every member of the public that is not registered on the site sees when they view the forums...

bexrbetter Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 2. I am surprised that the ratio of International users i.e. non-Australian licenses, is a lot lower than I had thought. There is a lot of Oz political stuff, RAAm, CASA, etc. here daily so that doesn't surprise me at all and I've seen that mentioned at other forums about this forum as well. - messenger, don't shoot ....

rdarby Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 For me the problem is that there was suddenly a barrier when I tried to log on. This makes me think it is too hard and I will go elsewhere. The site should not deter people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The site should not deter people. Come on guys! It takes maybe 60 seconds of your time ONCE! You do it once & it's done, it's not like you're filling in a tax return every time you log on. Reality check time! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit12 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 A bit of a gun to your head to get into site. Hardly - you get the site and all of its resources for free. Answering a couple of questions is a long way from unreasonable. Maybe you feel a membership fee to access the site would be more appropriate? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bexrbetter Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Yes Ian your trying to fix some thing that's not broke again. "you're" A moment to say thanks to you Ian for all your hard effort to give me something entirely for free - something that seems to be forgotten by some posters. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerin Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 "you're"A moment to say thanks to you Ian for all your hard effort to give me something entirely for free - something that seems to be forgotten by some posters. Yes...but don't forget where a lot of the resources come from....us! So I'd also like to thank the members that contribute their knowledge here (also free of charge ) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodo Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Hardly - you get the site and all of its resources for free. Not very accurate. You can access almost all resources without registering.... But if you wish to contribute to the resource, you must register. dodo PS I don't have a problem with providing the information, but I was pretty unimpressed with trying to log in and getting personal questions stuffed in my face. I got over it, but it isn't a great way to do things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
