I don't want to chat or interact - just read!

Post by billie »

It is important that each ST member be able to use the site as much or as little as they wish. Keeping this in mind, we were sure to add privacy options so that if you only want to read stories and not interact, you would be allowed to do so peacefully.

As always, you do not need to be a member to just read the stories. But there are some cool features that you need to be signed in for:
* The ability to save stories to your favorites queue for repeated reading
* The ability to create a reading queue
* Commenting on stories
* Rating stories
* Submitting your stories/techniques
* Posting to the forum
* Suggesting tags
* Following Authors so that you are notified when they publish new stories

There are things you can do to increase your privacy and limit interaction:
Chat
At the far right of the chat bar, there is a settings icon. Change your status to Invisible or Offline. Then no one in your friends list can see that you are online.

Friends
Ignore or reject friendship requests. You can also Unfriend friends or block them.

Privacy Settings
* Set your privacy settings here: http://www.solotouch.com/my-account/settings/privacy
* Choose which emails you receive here: http://www.solotouch.com/my-account/settings/email-settings

Be sure to choose the option that says that you are uninterested in meeting others here: http://www.solotouch.com/my-account/settings/about-you

Hope this helps!

I've found a couple problems with the friend interface:
1) You have to add someone as a friend before you have the option to block them.
2) Blocking someone doesn't actually work. If you reload your friends list they show right back up.
