4llerbuntu:

does following on twitter give the follower instant access to your email address?

pls not everyone on NL is a teenager. E-mail addresses are very vital to working class people, and not everyone maintains multiple email accounts.
Dude, stop talking like an illiterate. Following people does not give people access to your email address rather it enables people to be able to contact you without seeing your email. It's now your choice to choose whom to follow.

You need to understand that this is the same reason why some people (like me) don't have a twitter acct.

JideTheBlogger:

So, following on Twitter is also "Stalking" to you abi?

Yes, precisely.

@ Seun, how can I change the email account that's associated with this user name (PhysicsQED), delete it and replace it with another one?

I don't want this particular email account being spammed by NL email stuff. The updated topic notifications are too much already and this member emailing stuff is going to make it worse.

I really don't know what it feels like to be spammed because i've not used the Yahoo email i used in registering on Nairaland since 2006. I only use it with yahoo messenger. So, i don't receive all the messages that Nairaland sends to members.

it means you are not currently following the person (but the person may/may not be following you)

you can click the link in the email to check the sender's profile

if you are satisfied with what you see and want to initiate contact, just reply the email

follow the person if you do not want to repeat the lenghty process next time

or, just ignore the email

I guess stars sign should be added to Old members then you categorize it Gold Silver and bronze member

i also think privileges should be a thing of posting limits as an Old member
you should be able to Create a Thread up to 10 a week and also have a chance of saving your posting life i.e you can save posting life line every week so this will be like Credit while you can also transfer to anyone that follows you or friend.

also new members can always have the privilege to Start Only 3 threads per week and also have a chance of saving his or her posting life i.e you can save posting life line everyweek so this will be like Credit while you can also transfer to anyone that follows you or friend.

Asper Replying a thread it should be a thing of limitation to avoid childish posting and thread spamming and any member been banned would have to pay the Mod with his credit to be unban or wait Normal time and each banning should last 3months minimum.

Old Members should have the opportunity to reply up to 50threads in 24hours while new member should be 20threads without creditsavings.

I believe this would reduce so much spamming ... most especially on Romance section

Kinda love this!
Everybody go sit tight!
And how are d senior members to be selected?

Seun:
Not all of them - just those who are more popular than you. You're following them, but they are not following you, because we can't be sure that the relationship is really two-way. Some popular members added a lot of friends that they didn't really know. However, you can still e-mail your old friends if you want to.

you would just have disabled all of them and
let everyone start afresh instead of this high - low
impression ur trying to create.
i don't like this.
