PkVz Tutorial Part III: Privacy options
Today we’re going to take a look at the Privacy set up. I don’t really what the default options are, so we’re not going to describe anything about that. We’ll discuss how to set the Privacy options in a standard and positive way for the community.
In fact, what is the purpose of activating all the possible privacy filters, when you’re inside a community where sharing poker knowledge and stuff is the goal? Probably it has no sense indeed. So, we’re going to suggest the better options to achieve this.
This doesn’t mean you have to share absolutly all your information and everything you have on your profile. It’s only about sharing everything that could be positive your friends to know.
Let’s first take a look at the profile privacy. Click on edit settings inside the profile tab. You’ll see many categories, being posible to decide whether we want all our networks, friends, some of them, or just friends, to be able to see every single category. I really suggest actually all the four upper categories (Profile, Online Status, Friends and wall) to be visible. The contacto info is something that you could share through messages to those who request some of this kind, so perhaps with the exception of the e-mail I suggest you not to share this info but just to friends, or directly not editing it in the Profile editor.
Let’s go now to the Search options. I suggest your profile to be visible for all those who look after it, of course and let the people to see your photo, send messages, add you as a friend. Depending of how proud of your friends are you, feel free to let everyone to see your list.
Now we get to one of the most important privacy options: the News Feeds. I really suggest you to activate all of them, so all of your friends can see what you’re doing in their Home Page. This is specially important because is the best way to keep active the community. I know you want your friends to comment your hands and know what hands you commented, for example. Active these News Feed and I suggest all of them, folk!
Same thing applies to the Mini Feeds (only that this will only visible in your profile).
These are overall the important things. Only two more things to say. Perhaps it’ll be convenient that you let see your basic info and photo to those persons, not friends of yours, to who you send a message.
The last two tabs are about blocking people. Did you see a person who’s sending you Spam. There are two things to do. Block him first and then contact the PkVz team and notify that we have a spammer inside the community.
Hope this was helpful.
Regards!
