@ISD_Dorrim_Barstorlode

How can I hide my public profile?

And… If I have to wait to have more time on the forum, why am I restricted on such a needed **safety feature** while trolls aren’t?  
Thanks.

Go to Preferences → Interface. It’s one of the radio buttons when you scroll down.  
I don’t think you have to have more time on the forum to do it.  
You’re right to call that a safety feature. When you hide your profile you prevent the perverts and trolls from stalking you on the forum.

Weak. No wonder these forums are barely a shadow of their former selves.
