Here we go again

Everyone go over here and vote for 'only the journal holder can see custom filters'.

Unless you really want people to find out you've got them on a filter called 'Boring People from Work', of course.

*mildly puzzled* You know, I learned a while ago that there was a way for people to tell if somebody's reading them on a filter -- involves posting an image that's hosted somewhere you can see the stats for what sites pulled on it, and then if somebody is reading you on a filter, you can apparently tell. But I admit to being at something of a loss as to why you'd have a filter with an insulting name that you'd actually post to.

I can understand wanting to leave it so you can describe the filter yourself or not, as you please, though.

To give an example

Well, I might want to post about my love life to everyone except my friend Jocelyn, because I love her dearly but she has a tendency to over-share about her love life in thousand-word comments and I don't want to know. Unfortunately, if the mythical Jocelyn also gets upset about being filtered out, I don't really want everyone else seeing that I've got a 'Not Jocelyn' filter. It feels like I'm asking them to take sides, when actually I'n just trying to make my day run a bit smoother.

Also, I have filters with insulting names because I have a rather childish sense of humour. ;)

Well, I don't have a "Boring People from Work" filter, but I'd rather everyone not be able to see my filter names - mostly because they're not that descriptive to anyone but me. :P

Thanks for the heads up on this. I don't have a filter called 'Boring People from Work" either but still ... LOL
