Welcome aboard, Guy! :welcome:
Nice looking Ryker you've got there :yes: But I did notice a few things in those pics that you
really might want to reconsider showing the World! :yikes: So I've removed that link!
Sadly, while we do try our hardest to ensure we've only got legit members here, we don't necessarily catch all of the spammers/scammers/low-lives who might feel they're entitled to simply take your gear without asking; and even if we did, because anyone can view much of what's posted here, that still wouldn't stop
everyone with a 'less than honest' reason for following the posts on this Forum from reading your posts & viewing any images &/or links you attach... Hence, the
Warning Sticky here:
https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums...l-ID-or-Sensitive-details-on-the-Public-Pages
That said, we really haven't had
too many members who've been caught out, but that is very likely because we do try to pay attention to keeping the sort of detail off the public pages & remove posts/links that do mention/show those details pretty quickly; but it is noticeable that whenever someone
does show something like that, there's an increase in the number of non-members crawling all over the site, and at least some of those are apparently looking for more people/things to target!! :shocked:
So even if you don't think
your risk exposure might be all that great by sharing details &/or pics that might attract the attention of those with 'less than honest' intentions, doing so will also increase the risk to every other member here! :gaah:
With that in mind, you might want to check out your pics, not only for any unique identification detail shown (not only of the Ryker, but there's more than one image with another bike shown clearly in the background! :sour: ) but also for any other potentially 'valuable & attractive' items that your pics might also be showing, and then maybe reconsider showing all of that to us
and to the rest of the World as well?
Even if you can't just take pics not showing detail you shouldn't really share, there are quite a few Photo Editing apps out there that are great at blurring some details in a pic, &/or blurring/cropping the background so that not only aren't you showing everyone all the potentially 'valuable & attractive' tools etc you might have, but you'll also be minimising the chances of anyone getting an accurate location for all that gear from your pics simply by using an image look-up tool!! And yes, they not only
can do that, but they
DO do that and
HAVE done that to target some who showed too much in their pics! :cus:
Over to you. And hopefully we'll see you out on the more frequented pages soon, only
without any pics/details you shouldn't really share! :thumbup:
