Help! Who's viewing my creatures?

starling • 28 April 2014 at 1:06 AM

Just logged on today, and found out about 30 or so creatures have evolved from views, and some of them have evolved twice or three times.

I'd really like to know how/why this happened - all of my creatures here are (were) eggs that I wanted to stay as eggs so I could eventually freeze them.

Some of my creatures have gotten nearly 3000 views in the past couple of days.

So if you're putting my creatures up for views somewhere, PLEASE STOP. It's freaking me out ☹️

On a related note, does anyone want to trade a fully evolved furrep for an egg? Or a 2nd stage feep for a first stage one?

@magical - I have no idea who's been viewing your eggs. It could of been anyone. :/
Sorry for being no help...

I have same problem here too.. My creatures have gotten tons of clicks (both on my main account and side) and my guess is that they were put on Yarolds by someone.

It's quite unfair.

i normally keep my eggs that i want to stay low on my sister's account(she doesn't do much on Eggcave) or on my side which i try keeping secret as much as possible

@sparklefox Hey, no problem 😊 I know you can't track who's viewed your creatures - I was just kind of hoping if I put this up, whoever was doing it would stop ^^

@petpet55 It's awful when people do that - especially because I can't really think of any good reason for people to go through your creatures and get your creatures codes themselves. It seems like a lot of time and effort for something that ultimately harms you and has no benefit for them :/

@mastergemma Haha yeah, I'm thinking of making a new account to transfer my creatures to, but I'm not sure there's any point ^^ I actually moved my creatures here from another account, because I thought they were getting too many views on the other account xD It's actually pretty ironic.

@magical

lol I know how you feel XD

I have a secret cove I use if I really need to hide a creature, it works sofar.

the only other help I could give you is make a cove list with creatures you don't mind getting viewed and make that the list that shows up when you go to your profile ^^

@lynncrow Ooh, that's a good idea about the cove list! 😃 I'll do that now 😊

@magical

@magical

They most likely used the url, or even your profile url. Besides, altering a BB/HTML code is fairly easy, simply changing the ID numbers does the trick.

If you are making a secret side it helps to put a common critter as featured and let it die. If it somehow shows up on a user search, it will appear as any other inactive account. (Having a weird username helps, too!)

@petpet55 Thanks for the tips! 😃
