After reading MEC Alert 18-38 Urgent SkyHub, I chose to claim may account for the sole purpose of locking it down beyond the defaults it was created with. My interpretation was that the unclaimed profile can be tagged in posts. I wanted to block that and claimed the account for that purpose.

I was alarmed to see that someone I've never met is following me on SkyHub. I suspect there are others who are following pilots, just looking for an opportunity to cry foul at the slightest incursion. I tried blocking followers and couldn't find a way to do so. My total post count on SkyHub is 0, with a career goal of 0. There is no reason to use SkyHub beyond read only. Even then, the only thing I've actually used SkyHub for was watching Joe Esposito's video as a source of guidance on the upcoming AE.

IMHO the MEC's position is out of fear that some will post on SkyHub, much like they do on the Widget FB page, APC or Heaven forbid CC. They may also be concerned about interaction with employees outside of the pilot group. Despite the occasional whining on APC, most of us have developed a thick skin and the ability to ignore the unimportant. It is part of how we succeed in our profession. Other employee groups don't necessarily share those traits and are easily offended by worthless chaff. I appreciate the MEC's concern and have opted for self restraint, rather than have an unclaimed account that can be tagged in posts.
