This has become a point of contention for some. Do you think that this hinders your experience on RP by letting one know you are viewing their profile? I am a bit scared why 1SG (Join to see) is looking at my profile so much.

Where do you even find how many times it's been viewed?

If you didn't have such a twisted sense of humor, I wouldn't have found it so funny...

CPT (Join to see) I noticed that same perhaps a very short time back, but when I saw the count, I think the count came from when I first created an account. I however to make you feel better have a lesser count then you.
Now I look at other profiles for the purpose of seeing what they did, what units they been too, how long they served and where they stand on profile completion. In a sense I'm looking to perhaps rejoin with those SM whom were active during my time period at the same units. So far that count is : 0

I would image my profile is being looked at for perhaps the same reasons, but remember I said I image which may not be a fact. Facts are I really don't know why anyone would want to look at a very handsome looking veteran like me, with a very impressive and I mean highly impressive military and civilian record like mines :)

Personally, I'd prefer they get rid of that, as well as notifying other people when you view their profile.

It is a like Linked In. I don't see what is wrong with it. It gives you a sense who is peeking on you.

It may give you a sense of who is peaking in on you, but to me, it's just creepy.

The end result is that I never look at anyone's profile.

Maybe that is what they want from us.

I don't have a problem with it. RP gives you the option to limit how much people can see if they're not connected with you, so you still have some level of privacy.

I stalk people who don't have a Blue Ribbon yet in order to see if the member's profile merits one. Other than that, I don't really view profiles and don't care to know if they've viewed mine.

I think that the new "Don't see who's viewed me" feature doesn't work. I unchecked that box in my settings, but I'm still getting several notifications per day when people view me.

I like the feature. I have seen some people in some pretty high places view my profile. Whenever I see a officer from the pentagon view my profile. I wonder why at times. I hope it is for a new made up title such as command with the new US Army Social Media Command Staff.

I'm not entirely clear on why we get points for people viewing our profile in the first place. I'm a big fan of having a complete profile, but it should be a means to an end (helping to connect to people) rather than being considered an end in and of itself.

I don't think that people mean to view profiles that much, lol. I can't tell you how many times I'm scrolling through comments on a thread and my iPhone takes me to a random profile because I tapped the screen wrong. It's really kind of finicky.

I certainly did not just view your profile 10 times.

I have no issue and if you have an issue with someone viewing your profile excessively ask that person in a private message why they are viewing your profile so much.
