Having the member approve the profile comments sounds like the best way to control that function.

I like the full size profile pic, but if there are easy links to other pictures that may not be so bad.

Also, should we show the member their own private fields information? In case something has changed and they forget to update it.

...Just put yourself on your Buddy list - it works well.

The idea of the top five repped posts is an interesting one - I like it. Sort of a "Best & Worst Of" that person's posts. From experience, some posts attract a large number of reps - both green and red - so the same posts may actually appear in both lists...

The process would give an interesting insight into what people give rep for - is it for a well-written and insightful post, or to reward shit-stirrers? Hmmm...

I'm not keen on the comments being put on Profiles. There is a small minority of bullies and stirrers that could abuse the process, and cause a nightmare for the mods.

The problem of comments put on the Trade Profiles being contested is a very real one. Our local City Council toyed with the idea of making "opinions" about Council Contractors available on their public web-site. The idea was dropped when a certain Fire Systems Contractor pointed out the opinions published publically were more accurately called "libel"...

I could just move the profile picture down into its own row and put the new stuff above or below it. Might also make the different blocks collapsible.

What about the public/private fields? Any additions/changes needed?

Rep comments should be optional, I don't want everyone seeing the rude comments I get from time to time. (You know who you are!!) Otherwise, I'm with the "if it ain't broke" lot.

As has been noted earlier in this thread, we have more than enough angst and aggravation amongst members already from repping and flame warriors.

Also, in the case of businesses, this site's owner may be opening himself up to legal challenge/action by disgruntled businesses who could claim that their reputation/commercial success had been impacted negatively by such an approach. Such a risk would be uninsurable and Court-awarded damages would be likely to exceed $50,000. Not that any Kiwi Biker members would ever say anything negative or indefensible about a commercial business. But such a decision is, of course, ultimately that of this site's owner.

Also agree, well said! Far be it from a KB'r to make inflammatry comments, surely...?

First part of profile changes done.

**Usarka** · 13th August 2007, 19:38

That thing with the rep opens up a goldmine of interesting old posts.

**chanceyy** · 13th August 2007, 19:48

Interesting .. the only 3 negative reps I got was from someone I have now got on my ignore list, obviously its been removed from user cp but then comes up on the negative posts

rather than involve the mods, I felt by putting this person on ignore would be enough to deal with the situation.

but now the posts are showing again .. sighs

quite frankly am not interested in red reps, but green is fine as some ppl post some damn good comments
