8.1 I WANT TO AVOID SEEING SOMEONE'S CONTENT. IS THERE A WAY TO HIDE SOMEONE ELSE ON THE SITE?
YES. If you'd rather not see someone's posts around the site, you can use the hide feature.
Hiding a member or model will conceal…
*Any of their front page content (SOTD, blogs/photos/videos in the feature feed, MR albums)
*Any of their content on the main Photos page
*Any of their content in your home feed
*Any of their content in the main feed in the app
To enable this feature: Simply visit the member or model’s profile, click VITAL STATS, then click the red slashed out eye symbol next to the block symbol.
A few things to note: Hiding is different than blocking - if you do not want a member or model to be able to message you, follow you, or interact with your content you will need to block them. The hide and block features can be used independently or together. Also, nothing is hidden if you go directly to a hidden member/model’s profile. If you visit their profile directly you will still see their content.
8.2 How do I see who I am following?
To view all blogs, photo posts, or other content by the SG models and members you follow, click on the HOME button at the top right of any page on the site. This is your following feed! Yay!
To see a list of the SG models and members you are following, click your username or profile photo to view your profile, then click the number next to "following". There you go!
8.3 How do I follow someone?
From the model or member's profile that you wish to follow, click the +FOLLOW button under their member name. (If viewing the site from a phone or tablet, tap the green + button just below their profile photo.)
8.4 How can I stop people from following me? How do I block someone?
If you'd like to have approval over which members follow you, click the gear icon in the upper left of any page on the site. Choose PREFERENCES, then scroll down to adjust all of your, well, preferences! Under YOUR SITE SETTINGS, ACCOUNT PRIVACY is set to "anyone can follow you" by default. Move the pink arrow to "you approve all followers" and you'll receive a notification whenever someone requests to follow you. Any changes made on your preferences page will save automatically.
If you want to block someone on the site, visit their profile and click on VITAL STATS. (From a phone or tablet, tap the pink "stats" icon that looks like a little bar graph, just below their profile photo.) From this page, click on the RED circle with the line through it to block this user. They will not be notified and will no longer be following you. (You can also use this option if they started following you before you changed to approving your followers.)
Note: Blocking a member will not prevent you from seeing their posts around the site. If you prefer not to see another member's content you will also want to hide them, which can be done by clicking the red eye symbol next to the block symbol.
8.5 Why can't I follow certain people?
You can request to follow anyone. Some people may have their settings so that they have to approve their followers. Some members are more selective about who can follow them, and read their blogs. You can still view all the same photosets even if you're not allowed to follow someone. Don't take it personally :)
8.6 How do I stop following someone?
Oh, it's like that, is it? Okay then. Go to their profile and click on the +FOLLOWING button under their username, or if viewing the site from a phone or tablet, tap the pink checkmark button just below their profile photo. It will turn into +FOLLOW (or +) and voilá! You no longer care about that person!
