If you have questions about the forums themselves, ask them here. Chat has its own FAQ here: https://www.freechatnow.com/forum/threads/new-chat-faq-read-this-before-you-ask.321/ -- so reserve all questions about chat for that FAQ.
Once questions in this thread are resolved, posts will be deleted to save on clutter and keep things less confusing.
Q. HELP I DONT WANT PEOPLE FOLLOWING ME
1) Being "followed" only lets the following user see what you post publicly and when you are online.
2) There is nothing creepy about this. They only have access to your public usage of the forums. They can see all the same things that any user who is not following you can see.
3) If you are logged into the forums, this already shows at the forum home page, whether you are followed or not, in a list of logged in users. Anyone, following you or not, can click your username in that list and see what you have posted in the forums.
4) This is a PUBLIC forum! Everyone can read what you post, unless it is in a PRIVATE conversation! If you post it on the boards themselves, it is public. Conduct yourselves accordingly!
