Can someone help this old lady across the cyber street. What do Spiders and 'Hidden' mean? I see it all the time but don't know what it is. Is it some form of 'geocashing' or are the mods called spiders?

You can now get your merit badge for helping me cross the street.
If you look at the bottom of the user list, you will see the names of several search engines. Spiders are used by the search engines to watch for updates to the site and return them to the search engine.

Hey Moni (as in the Tommi James song)
You are still in trouble. Just a friendly reminder.
Hugs,
Laurie
Oops, I forgot to explain hidden. There is a setting that will keep your name from displaying in the list for non staff members. It's a good setting if you want privacy while browsing the site. Staff can see all the users because it's sometime necessary when tracking a problem user.
Thank you Dena! Are the search engines capable of carrying off and hiding someone like, oh, I don't know,...Jeanette?
Moni (As in Bonnie, or Connie, or Roni) Ugh!

Naaaahhh, but they are capable of making off with everything Jeanette writes.
Whew!
That's a relief.
I was worried about super intelligent spiders dealing with gender issues!
The one who keeps crawling into my bathtub is bad enough. I keep putting her outside. But she keeps coming back. :(

This is a supportive space for everyone, regardless of the number of legs they have!

In a flat where I used to live there was one that lived behind the mirror in the bathroom, and everyday around 6pm it would go out and just hang there near the ceiling.
One evening it wasn't there. That day I realised I had become fond of it :(

So that's what happens when my posts are missing....
And it's still Moni like Tony
Laurie aka Jeanette
That does it, the next spider I see I will ask if misnaming someone is a TOS violation, Miss Two Names. >:-)
I would like to go on record as being supportive of transgender spiders. I will have to think about centipedes though. Maybe with a little makeup. But nice shoes would be a nightmare.
Moni (If it was like 'Tony' with a long 'o' Jeanette, it would have two 'o's.')

I agree shoes for a centipede would be a nightmare. Can you imagine 50 pairs of heels clicking all at once?
You are sooo wrong about your own name it is unbelievable. **sigh**
If your name had two Os it would Be pronounced Moon ie as in moon or the sound a cow makes. And speaking of that.. with all this fuss you are making over a name....
Well anyway it's Moni as in tony and that cool old song Moni Moni.. so there :P
Sing it! Here she comes now sing Moni Moni...
Love ya,
Laurie
To get back on topic, do you have to allow open registration for spiders, or can you keep your registration (I guess encrypted is the word I want?) and they still show up?
