| @FlowersInTheRain Oh what a language. If it comes out that your god really lives I'm afraid you burn in hell and take all that trans-people you're concerned with but also want to fuck them with you. |

You don't need to remind me, I am well aware. Believe me this is something that I think about daily since my teens. And up until this day there's no self-liberation in sight. Hell yeah. |
| some people just want privacy, like you said they just want to use it to track what they watch, maybe they don't want getting notifications 24/7 |

| I think it's totally fine disabling everything if you just use the site for listing stuff. I probably should've done that for the first few years i joined since that's all i used the site for and wasn't too interested in socialising. If you go out into the forums pretty regularly, i think you should have comments and/or PM's open at least. |
MySweetLucifer said: If it comes out that your god really lives I'm afraid you burn in hell and take all that trans-people you're concerned with but also want to fuck them with you. Still a better offer than the worthless heaven. |
Hell yeah, you're right. But I'm afraid our christian buddy sees that differently. |
| I kind of think of it in the same vein as when someone disables youtube comments on videos.Simple answer is that the person probably had bad experiences in the past with people so they would rather build a wall around themselves that people can't trespass through,as to avoid criticism completely wether it would be constructive or not. |
 |
| I dunno about them but I'm quite fond of having my comments open which helps me converse with all kinds of folk. Friend requests on the other side I'm thinking of disabling because I'm getting sick and tired of getting them from third grade mongrels. One even tried to recruit me into his world conquering army. I want none of that because it will be my army that conquers this hell-hole. |

Interesting that you say that because the other day I saw someone had like 14 posts but they have quite a few friends and have been on the forum for years. I asked why do few forum posts and if they just hang out in clubs or something because the posts to friends ratio doesn’t add up. Well they told me that they once posted into the wrong forum and people seemed to make a huge deal out of it. So much so that this person felt like they were better off not posting at all. I told them that it really wasn’t a big deal and that we all make silly little mistakes. He told me I had just made his day. I guess It's kind of understandable because people can be really shitty at times.Because of bad experiences you end up overthinking and double checking more and more before posting as to not get insulted on,and in the end you just end up giving up and not posting at all. |

| Forums is like the congress, so at least in their profile -- their home -- they'd be able to find peace with doors locked, so those guys from Jehovah's Witness wouldn't bother anymore knocking for the 144,000th time, since they're already affiliated to the Armenian Apostolic Church where they found their salvation, and we might as well respect that if that's the religion they chose for themselves. |
 |
| I leave them open, but I'm honestly horrific at responding to them. I've always preferred talking to people on things like MSN, Skype, Discord. Comments on a website can be a real pain because the conversations usually progress slow enough for me to lose all interest in them. |
 |
| There were too many creepy guys that kept on trying to talk to me so I set it to PMs only if friends. I really don't have the time to have friendships on MAL anymore. I have my own adult life to attend to. Second reason is harassment. It's very easy to make fake accounts on MAL to use to harass others. I used to get a lot of racist and sexist comments. I'm used to it since most of this site are incels and rats living in their mom's basements but yeah. I much prefer Discord like the above poster to communicate with friends. Profile comments are a dread. |

| I didn't read all that but I used to disable comments because I used to get people annoying me by asking me why I watch anime if my mean score is so low and because people would criticize my favorites but when I defend them they either never respond or keep repeating the same points I debunked. Those two and because of the racism in this site aswell. |
The word elitist is stupid since it's just used by people who can't defend their favorite shows and use it on people who criticize their favorite shows.  |
| @FlowersInTheRain Yes I'm Chinese so I had some racist slurs (ch*nk) thrown at me and rice jokes (with malicious intent). Normally, race jokes are OK if we're friends but they said shit to me with the intention of hurting me. "But if another guy that she actually likes does the same thing it isn’t considered creepy." I don't really want any attention here, not that type of attention at least. It's creepy if you don't know me and try to hit on me. |
| People write reviews on this site. Other people read them and then may harass the reviewer if they don't agree. I've seen lots of people's profiles with lots of harassment just because of a review. I really don't blame them for feeling the need for peace...that's just my observations. |
| They are the weak that fear the strong. The prey desperately trying to flee the predator. ~Rawr!~ :P |

| they don’t want comments that’s it |

Fauxgrandma said: I disabled entirely because I have a LOT of comments from the past that I don't want anyone to read lolIdk personally can't seem to decide to disable or not so I just set it for friends only |
| They just don't wanna talk with strangers which is fine. As for me, I like to get the occasianal hate comment because I said something on this site and I'm open when random people wanna ask me about something. I understand why some people might not like it though. |
    |
| Disabling comments is understandable. But commenting on someone's page while your comments are disabled so that the other person can't reply is just being a cunt. |

Well I personally won't try to hit on you. And if anybody on this forum thinks I am hitting on them I'm not really being serious. I mean, I could build a new harem on MAL just for fun but I'm getting married this year and I've actually had real life harems so I don't need any sort of emotional intimate relationship online. In a broader sense though - men are supposed to hit on strangers. I don't know why this is suddenly seen a creepy thing. A guy is supposed to show interest and then the girl is supposed to choose a mate out of all of her potential suitors. Just like in the animal kingdom. INTJ is Architect. The results on that image look like ISFP though. Gan_water said: dunno. You can comment on my profile or on my soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/nyaaki yeahhh Woah you have alot of work on there. And it sounds pretty awesome! You should have it linked on the side column on your profile. iNathanLite said: So assholes like you won't harass them. Did I do something to you? Or did you witness me do something out of line? Where is this coming from? |

| People can get quite nasty on here so if you do something that is controversial you can get a lot of people writing shitty messages on your profile. Take a look at people who wrote reviews with low scores on highly rated anime and you’ll see some hate comments on their profile, especially when it’s about the more popular anime. |
 |
| I've seen plenty people being flooded with hate messages because they wrote negative reviews on a show. Its just MAL acting irrational towards popular users. Personally I just disable them because chatting over MAL is super annoying, and if someone actually cares about long replies they can just PM me. |

It's not that hard to make 1 beat in a night, and I definitely post them rather than save them for myself (even though ironcally some of my favorite music I never have posted). Yeah I used to keep a link up, maybe I'll do that again, thanks. |
