Following

Is there a way to opt out of letting people follow you? Or block people from following you once they do? And if not, why not? 

Thanks. 

Unfortunately no, but this is something that can be added to future forum updates.

Thanks for bringing up this concern. 

It's not a concern dude, just a question. Also, I get an email when someone starts following me, but I don't get notified when they un follow me, is that to spare my feelings? 

If I had a choice I would def opt out, the thought of a bunch of strangers looking over my shoulder is somewhat disquieting to me.
