Somebody I don't know said a bunch of crap about me publically on Google+, and tagged me in the posts. I know I can't untag myself from them, but unless they actually visit this guy's page, will followers of me on Google+ see these tagged posts?
It depends on who he posted them to. You can select to make anything you post totally public. Post a link and I'll see if I can see it for you.
Other than that, Google must surely give you a way of untagging yourself for this very reason. Get in touch with them and ask the question.
The post was totally public, and he has no connection to me through anyone following me.

I'm just curious if anybody following me can see it on their stream or anything.

Well, I have another Gmail account and I made a Google+ account there, followed myself with the original account, and the other account. I don't see that post on the new account following the one with the tagged posts. So I should be good, right?
It sounds like it. TBH, I doubt many people can say for sure as Google+ is so different to the Facebook that we're used to.
I think you've done the best thing you can to test it.

K good. So nobody else can see it unless they go to the guy's page. Which wouldn't happen because he lives 4000 miles away and has no connection to me. But there HAS to be a way to untag myself, but I've been looking for hours on this and all I'm seeing is untagging pics.

Like I said earlier, the only thing I can think of is to ask Google. You can't be the 1st person that's needed to do this.
They don't really have a support email I can contact for this type of thing. I sent feedback and posted something on their forums. I'm just worried about somebody seeing this crap. I muted the post, that's about as far as I can go.
But, you said you didn't see anything...

Yeah it is amazing but anyone who signs up has to wait for Beta 2 which they have not announced. I wish they would have designed the touch screen version buttons a bit bigger to assume you are using your fingers and not a stylus. But it is by far the best browser, nothing else comes close.

Seconded... not to mention that Skyfire is garbage since it won't connect to the server more frequently that 50/50.
and the point of thread is?? half of us here can't even get skywire and we all know from reviews that it is supposed to be a great browser.
thanks anyways for the redundant post.

I have been using it everyday for the past month, I have only lost connection once so far.
The point was referring people to go sign up for the beta, I don't see how that is worthless and people who don't know about Skyfire are never going to find it in a search.
I thank you for cluing me in to skyfire, had never heard about it till now. Will definitely be trying it out.
I would suggest ignoring the thread nazis. Seems they are eager to up their post count by pointing out redundant threads, but when real help is requested, they are nowhere to be found.
I still don't understand why threadspace on this forum is at such a premium that every time someone wants to discuss something they are clamped down.

Thread space (notice I didn't make the same grammatical error as you) is not at a premium here. However, when someone does not search before creating a new thread, they contribute to making the search function less "functional".
Take Skyfire as an example. You said you had never heard of it before this thread, so you don't see this as a redundant thread. But... if the OP had done a search for "Skyfire" before creating this thread, he would have found the others, been able to post in them, and then it would have gotten moved up near the top of the forum since it had a new post in it!
I'll admit that some of my posts are nonsensical; but I have helped enough people on this site to entitle myself to the occasional raspberry post.
Skyfire does not rock. I can't even watch videos on youtube. The advertisement showed a video of a basketball court. The vid played perfect. I have yet to match that on my phone. Youtube vids play with the lipsync effect. I barely use it. Anyway many threads made about this topic.

Not sure why it bothers you though. He answered the question, and then asked the mods to do something. That's not talking like a mod.

If you do it on your online account manager it will take up to 48 hours. Even if you use it before it actually "kicks in" customer care will credit the amount used. you do NOT need to reset your phone as the feature is based in the network and not the phone itself.

Get 10 posts. Gives you access to being able to post in the development/phone specific sub forums. It also gives you access to have signatures, post in the marketplace (where you sell phone and phone related things), post outside links, etc. Also, you may want to avoid this specific sub forum or just mainly DanWilson. He's dangerous and may get you banned/hack you. Also, people like it when you use the search feature at the top of the page instead of just posting in a sub forum. I'm not really against or for this. But many people get (VERY) angry. Sheesh. Have fun, and enjoy.
Yes I'm feeling helpful today OT.
How many post u need to allow new users to add links because i want to post a thread about fixing my phone and to explain carefully i need to add links? Im just asking.
10 posts should get you the ability for external links if i am correct.

Well, you'd wanna use some lube if it is your first time, because going bareback might hurt a little for both parties.
You'd also wanna ease it in a little before going full force.
I'd give you more advice but I see PDL here and he's probably more experienced, what with his marriage to Dan and all that.
Don't use this site. You're gonna brick your nice new phone, and by the time you get it to work again, a newer, better phone will have come out. Forget this site, go look at porn insread.

My invitation had a link that said something like "View or comment on post »" and I used that to sign up.

I saw somewhere that there's a workaround for Google+ invites not working; I can't confirm this or anything, obviously... anyway, I think the article said that if you share something with a friend (i.e. you put in their e-mail address to share it), then it'll send out an e-mail to the thing you shared (like a post on your "wall" or whatever it's called), and then you can sign up. Just speculation, dunno if it works or not ^^
And yeah, I used my gmail account.

That's a very good point. Most of the people that are posting their email addresses to the spreadsheet are using gmail or googlemail addresses. There's only a few that haven't so maybe that's a deciding factor. I suppose it would make some sense, while it's still in beta.
Edit: Just saw Breece's post above. This obviously isn't the case.
