Topic: Find users by favorites

Posted under General

This topic has been locked.

Hi, I'm trying to locate my soulmate. Years ago I found a user here whose favorites had 100% exact all my fetishes, scary level. Deleted my bookmarks and my memories.

Is there a way to see all the users who favorited a picture? I don't see where to click anymore, maybe it's my imagination it was ever there. How many users are there? A link to the right help page would be fine. Thank you

Nope. there is currently no way to find out who favorited what pictures. The only way to do that is to go onto their profile and look at their favorites, so unless you know the name of "the fetish favoriter" there's no way you'll be able to find them again.

I have no idea why you're not able to see who favorited the art from the art itself, because if it's for privacy and stuff, why have it show up in the profile anyway?

Thank you. I made an account thinking maybe you had to be logged in to see that now and another thing. It must have been they left a comment on one of the pictures, and I imagined the feature, and forgot the picture. But I know my tastes, and theirs. I guess I'll go over all the pictures I browsed the last 6 years. I hope it was a comment.

I can see who favorited any picture just by clicking the Favorites link under the status of an image. Is that not there for you?

It's not there for normal members.

I guess not. I just checked the account help page and didn't see anything about it. The post page mentions the function but says nothing about the user level required. Maybe that info could be added in the future?

I have never been happier that feature was disabled. O.O

A little self-awareness is in order: the original post in this thread comes across as kind of terrifying.

Thank you for the comments, I will apply for Janitor, where is the application form

Assuming you're serious, that's not something you can apply for, and I don't think they're likely to give the role to someone openly admitting they plan to abuse it for stalking purposes.

They are obviously joking, and they never said they are trying to stalk someone.
What are you on about?

Did...did you even bother reading more of this thread than just the post Coryi quoted?

I did. Please, quote the part where they "plan to abuse the janitor position for stalking purposes"?
Also, trying to find a user whose liked the same things they do is not stalking.

Sure.

Second quote was in response to learning you can only see what users have favorited images, if your user rank is janitor or higher. The implication being "Okay, so how can I become a janitor, so I can re-find this mysterious user from years ago?" OP intends to look through their favorites to find what user/users have most/all of them on their own favorites list(s).

They're joking, Jacob.

... that's quite obviously a joke. Are you for real now?

- How can I find users who favorited a specific image?
- That feature's not available to normal users.
- Time to become a janitor then! ;)

two others have posted about it already but it's really creepy that they're requesting janitor for the sole purpose of finding a user via the favorites of a fetish post.

this post in particular is kind of worrisome as well, as little as it is.

There were Janitor applications a while ago, and it might be possible to submit an application without it being some formal event, but I doubt somebody talking about finding their soulmate through a feature they were locked out of before would be approved.

That definitely looks serious, not joking, to me.
E621 isn't a site for finding your soulmate, try flist or something. If I'm remembering the right site, it's for sharing your fetishes so you can find somebody who shares your kinks and try from there.

Sorry I try to play nice nowadays. But you never really leave the army.

I thought I had clicked on that before, I swear. First reply answered my question, can't complain about the service.

holy shit.

(apologies if this isn't forum appropriate mods!)
Here's some advice for you: it would be best you leave this fandom entirely before you cause any psychological harm to anyone and get some serious help.
