SECURING YOUR ACCOUNTS FROM
FBI MONITORING
Something else you may want to consider.
I noticed that certain some people on forums were never shown as Online , even when
they clearly were, and others were shown as online at times. I then realized to myself there
must be a way to never show your status as Online .
The way you do this is to open up Account Settings and unselect the box that
says Show others my online status .
So why would you want to do this anyways? For reasons we spoke about earlier, you do
not want to give any law enforcement the ability to see when you log on and log off. It is
bad practice, it can leave a trail, leave a pattern, and if you are a person of interest and
they are able to connect the time you sign off on the forum with the time you leave your
house, or go to sleep, it gives them more reason to be suspicious and more evidence to be
used against you in court.
Consider disabling this option.
