Following other members

Hello Sprinter

I am sorry to read your comments. 

If someone wishes "to follow" you then they have to request your agreement to be a "follower". The simple answer is to refuse any requests.

Anyone can read your posts and profile as it's a public group. We keep the Community anonymous so that members can feel free to post their true feelings without any fear. The Community is a safe space for informed discussions and a valuable asset to everyone who uses it. The Community guidelines ensure that everyone is safe.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi Brian, that is different to what I've been told in email communications with MacMillan. They say anyone can follow you without your consent, whereas friend requests need your permission.

I just can't understand why someone whom I've had no contact/interaction with would choose to follow me, I accept everyone can see my posts but I feel uncomfortable with people following me 

Hmm - Interesting - I've just had a look a my profile and everyone on my "followers" list is also om my "approved friends" list, Indeed I am not sure how i would even "follow" someone!!

Kind regards - Brian.
