Forums - Website Topics - Profile Privacy on VGChartz

Simple request for the team.

When someone gets banned, make it so that they have no profile privacy. Id like to see what they got banned for. When, why, who by. Or alternatively, just remove the profile privacy option all together. This is VGChartz, a videogame forum, not Facebook.

Its not urgent, it doesnt have to be done right now. Im not asking that much. Within the next 2 hours would be fine

For people who will complain saying "But I dont want this guy posting on my wall!". Tell them not to. If they persist, report it to a moderator.

LOL. I kind of agree, you want privacy, go to facebook. I like reading about why people get banned!



Nothing we can do, but I could revoke your badges if that is what you want.

But you can see this in the monthly ban report? What they should add is the actual post which got them banned to the record^^

It's private for a reason. Just because someone is banned doesn't mean you should be able to view it. It is after all still privacy.

While yes I get curious too, it still doesnt mean i should be able to go and view it.

That would be too much work. The ban list doesn't include that, so I'd need to visit each violator's profile to get the post number etc.
Though I guess I could do it on request.
But that already happened in past reports, mostly for people were permabanned (either by request or violation of the rules).


Since we can see any profile we want, we don't even know which users have set their profile to private.

Why do we need profile privacy on a videogame forum?

Take them, Barozi! Take them all!



                            

Isn't that what the monthly ban report is for? Anyways, people are entitled to their privacy. Being a videogame forum doesn't change that.

Because some people prefer it.  I'm not one of them but some people do like it.  Try viewing this from other people's point of views.  People have different opinions and preferences.
