Because of that, Callan Park is visible and that other one about the mansion which is probably going to make it more trashed.

My worry is the "Urban exploration discussion" where we discuss ideas and places. Maybe we should create a new one forum under the Media section where we can discuss the more sensitive stuff?

Media section should only be for showcasing, as it is now. (pics/vids/websites).
My thoughts anywho
- I'm all for asking about intel and we have a right to respond but some of it is too sensitive to show to public esp. when it could be asking about a new location or one I've never heard of.
Sorry for being paranoid. I've been overdosing on urbex pics from instagram with people trashing stuff.

But by the time Google as indexed this section, be that a day or so, a mod should have removed any information violating the CoC.
The way I see it, if too much of the forum is closed off, it will make it hard for true (or new) explorers to find this website via Google et al. Before I found it, I usually explored by my lonesome, because all my friends were too lame (or sensible, actually.. That probably makes more sense
).Community's where it's at!
I'm more pushing for a new section where basic members can ask more sensitive stuff such as about new locations they've found but need more confirmation and is hidden from the outside.aydun wrote:I understand the paranoia after seeing some of the trashed places!

I think this site is visible enough already. Typing "sydney urbex" or "australia urbex" puts this site at the top of the list.
Quite a few members have a group or companion and are probably using this site to collect intel than organise or attend the meetups/expos or even showcasing their places. One member admitted to this already which I'm not happy about but at least they were upfront. And the big question is, what are they doing once they get to these places?

I'm not sure what Titan's original intentions or thoughts were but I'm sure it wasn't (nor has it ever been) to provide information to all and sundry about how to go about these kind of activities and get into places.
The membership process isn't exclusive, and by making everything of interest private it gives more incentive to need to sign up for an account.
Just my 2 cents.

Speaking of which, Googlebot isn't a member.
Anyway, if you want goog and "you know who" tracking your web activity that's fine by me - but I'll tread on the side of caution. It was just amazing how so much info was captured from just doing the goog search.
Not sure if anyone watched 4 corners or 730 report but they talked about this stuff in depth.
Have also been to the UER site and although that place is such a DB, there isn't much public content of people asking for intel. Then again, I'm not a full member of UER.

Preventing guest access would simply cause anyone who cares to create an account; assuming they actually care, which they probably don't.
There shouldn't be anything illegal posted here anyway, so I see no reason for concern.
I have seen what is capable from where I work. That is why I am paranoid. Granted good analysts are rare but they can easily be trained up. Also gg cache lasts for around a month.
And there have been questions asked about security now visible as guest. That in itself is suspicious and it is lots of work acting on each report. I mean if I was the owner of the mansion that a member was asking about intel info I would be concerned.
Oops was not meant to say that
