Hey,

It would be really nice if there would be a function on the site, with which you can put your account on "unactive".Which means for other people it looks like you deleted your account, and without putting it back on "active" the user cannot use the site as well.

This would be nice because I want to take a break from feabie for example, but i don't want to remove my whole account. That means all pictures will be gone, and the time im on this site will start over again once i recreate my account. Is this something you guys could think about?

Regards
Me ;)

1) Currently if user A blocks/unblocks user B (currently no notification given to user B), user A can still view parts of user B's profile. Take a note from Facebook and make blocked profiles completely and mutually inaccesible, with the only option being unblock the blocked profile, not view it.

2) Because user A is now invisible to user B, they cannot mutually block user A though they may wish to remain invisible to user A even if he/she decides to unblock user B. This gives more 'power' to the user to hit the block button first though both wish to block the other. Implement a "currently blocked by:" list viewable to users with the option to 'block back' those who block you.

Note: I suggest usernames/profile photo thumbnails be 'locked' in place upon blocking should these lists be implemented so that a change of either can not obscure (intentionally or not) the identity of the blocker/blockee in the mind of the user; i.e. if user A blocks user B then changes name/picture to user C, user B cannot be sure exactly who he/she's being blocked by since the profile and messages are now invisible.

10% of my followers consist of people with an empty profile or any pictures. They have fully excess to my profile, it doesn't feel good that they can see pretty personal information that i share on this site without taking any effort to share anything of themselves.

Members have the ability to block members, with my membership im able to block 10 members, i've got over 50 'ghostfollowers' so i cant block them all. This really sucks...

I understand the platform does make a difference between premium- and basic memberships. Many basic members are contribution value to this site, so they are part of the success of the platform. So i think its not fair that basic members cant protect their privacy against 'the ghosts'.

My suggestions are;

• Don't give new/ghost members access before they filled their profile and upload at least 1 clear picture of themselves who's visible for everyone.

or

• Give all members the availability to block 'Ghosts'. It must be possible to differentiate ghost profiles from normal profiles... so everybody is able to block ghosts, beside that basic members can block max. 10 members...

In most contexts, a member's thumbnail shows a small square in the lower right corner that's either "green" to indicate they're online or brown to indicate "offline". Perhaps this could be made more useful by allowing it to indicate a few additional states:

• connected but busy (or away from the browser or device)




• connected but please do not disturb (don't expect responses to messages or comments)




• connected via mobile device (so cut me a break!)

When offline, the system would select the "offline" indicator for that user's thumbnail. When "online", however, perhaps a profile setting could be added to determine which state (and therefore which color) the system uses for that user's thumbnail:

green - online (default)

yellow - online but busy

red - online but please do not disturb

black - offline

(Black is suggested rather than the current brown color to address an issue with color-blind users.)

It would be useful if a user could select the "offline" state as their default "online" indicator. This would effectively allow a user to connect and interact with the site "invisibly", for example, if they wanted to navigate the site without having to deal with turning away requests to chat, for example.

Another indication is suggested for mobile device users. People on mobile devices can typically respond to posts less rapidly than users with full keyboards and browsers. It would be useful if a user could indicate that they are limited in this way. Perhaps a "mobile on/off" profile setting could be added that would modify the "online" indicator in some fashion, for example, showing it as a triangle rather than a square.

One might think that the system could determine the user's "mobile" state automatically based on whether they are using the mobile version of the site or the regular one. This is slightly complicated, because a user may be actively logged in from more than one device, not all of which are mobile. Allowing the user to manually select the "mobile" state might be a reasonable way around this.
