Suggestion for profiles

Since we are able to rate someone's audio profile, wouldn't it be cool to also rate someone's text profile? Not really a big deal, it was just a thought. lol

Yeah. I like that idea.

This has definitely been suggested before. Since it wasn't done then, it probably wouldn't be done now. I wouldn't support it anyway, just because if you like someone's text profile, it'd be more direct to just send them a quick PQN or PM telling them so. Maybe that's just my way, but I think it's easier.

I made the suggestion for the abilitto comment on a profile, akbut rating them would be nice as well.

i like the idea and i don't see any reason why it can't be done

This has indeed been suggested before, and I am definitely for it! I mean, yes, you can send them a pqn, but you know, I think it would be cool to have them rate it and everything, so that people who actually do take time to put effort into creating their profiles can actually get credit for it. Plus, i think it'd just be cool to see what others have to say about a certain profile, so I like this idea!

I love this idea.

I honestly think this is just going to turn into another drama filled popularity contest. just like the idea of adding friends and the idea of commenting on profiles... there are more direct methods of comunication and i'm not for this idea over all.

ok the topic creater, what'd be your reviewed points for my text profile? for your ready reference, my text profile is as,

"marketly different from usual".

Raaj.

You know it could just as easily be said that you can PQN someone on their audio profile to. But obviously that has the ability to be rated, so, why not have the ability to rate and comment on text profiles? Oh, and by the way, lots of sites have "popularity contests." It's a part of joining a community whether it be a social-networking site or a University sorority, it doesn't matter. I see no reason why it would hurt to have a little competition around here. It would make things funner and give people more to do other than bash and complain.

Post 11 by illumination (Darkness is history.) on Monday, 04-May-2009 13:39:23

I agree with Sunshine and rain. And please, let's not start drama on this topic, it was just a suggestion. I don't need any dumb and bashing comments.

Um why would you want to rate someones text profile? you would probably be very bored..
I wish there was a way to delete your reviews though, or notify you when you have new ap reviews..

Post 13 by illumination (Darkness is history.) on Wednesday, 06-May-2009 19:20:48

Well, that's only based on your opinion, Jess. There are some that like the suggestion and some that don't.

Post 14 by robbiec12345 (Good night and Farewell ) on Thursday, 07-May-2009 12:40:05

this is okay but'''

i think there would have to be a checkbox in ur "my profile" page to enable/disable this option. and perhaps allow premiums to delete individual reviews.

just a suggestion

if you like someones text profile, you can either send a private message or email them, and, for all you lazy people who don't feel like sending a pqn to the person, the links, (if the persone has enabled the email one) are at the bottom of the page. your already in the profile anyway, just send comments that way. it's not going to kill you to do that, and it takes the same amount of time if you were to rate a person's ap by going through their profile. like someone said earlier, this was already suggested, and wasn't done then, so what makes you think it'll get done now?

Post 16 by illumination (Darkness is history.) on Thursday, 07-May-2009 21:29:39

Well, maybe I wasn't on here during that time, Liz, so stop being rude about it.

Post 17 by maroon five (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Friday, 08-May-2009 3:12:54

whatever....lmfao!

Post 18 by laced-unlaced (Account disabled) on Friday, 08-May-2009 4:34:05

yay, i love post 16. :)

and as for pocket_pc's suggestions, i like the idea of removing individual reviews, but as for the check box i am against that idea.

it's either a feature everyone uses or no one uses it at all

Post 19 by illumination (Darkness is history.) on Friday, 08-May-2009 13:14:16

I agree with Dan about the check boxes. And as for Liz's post, I don't think I was here when that suggestion was made before. And if it really was suggested before, then I would agree with Liz on the matter.

Post 20 by Striker (Consider your self warned, i'm creative and offensive like handicap porn.) on Friday, 08-May-2009 19:17:48

lmao, you're telling me that creating a popularity contest would help curbe the bashing and drama? how do you figure this out when you're really just adding fewl to a fire. because how its probably going to go is tuns more bull shit will start up just because of a profile rateing. if this were made into a feature i would like a check box to turn it off for my profile... and i honestly don't see it becoming a feature because its been braught up before, shot down before... ssdd is the theme of moste of these topics under this bored catigory.

Post 21 by maroon five (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Saturday, 09-May-2009 3:37:04

um, sunshine and rain already said she suggested it, and, it's on page 2. you really should read properly before going off on people.

Post 22 by robbiec12345 (Good night and Farewell ) on Sunday, 10-May-2009 8:32:58

hmm, i believe this is the topic on page 2 u were talking about

Post 23 by illumination (Darkness is history.) on Sunday, 10-May-2009 21:32:25

Ok, first off, it's fine that people have opinions about things and that there is an ignore feature if you don't agree with them. However, I do agree with Liz about her board post, but the comments did not have to be so rude. There's always so much drama posted by someone on most of these boards, and it's getting very irritating and annoying. I mean, it hasn't happened on all of mine, but it has happened on most other board posts. If some of you don't agree with that, oh well.

Post 24 by cumbiambera2005 (i just keep on posting!) on Tuesday, 26-May-2009 20:08:42

Oh drama drama drama! You guys are no fun! Still like this idea! :)

Post 25 by SunshineAndRain (I'm happily married, a mom of two and a fulltime college student.) on Tuesday, 26-May-2009 23:30:14

I see a point in commenting and rating profiles, as I think it is nice to be able to keep track of comments and ratings that you get. It's fun to look back at them.

Post 26 by Sword of Sapphire (Whether you agree with my opinion or not, you're still gonna read it!) on Wednesday, 27-May-2009 0:07:06

I think that this is a very good idea. We should be able to rate text profiles just as we are able to rate audio profiles. If you really wanted to make it into a popularity competition, you could, but that's you're issue.

Post 27 by Music Angel (the Zone BBS remains forever my home page) on Friday, 19-Jun-2009 16:08:47

It would be brilliant to rate text profiles. It would mean users would want to update them because they are listening to other zoners' opinions.

Post 28 by maroon five (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Saturday, 20-Jun-2009 1:39:31

hmmm, so we'd go back and update our profiles, just because we're listening to other zoner's appinions? do you realize how shallow that sounds? people update them, if they have something new to add, or because they want to, not because of some people's appinions.. honestly, if you care what other people think of your text profile, where your telling people about yourself, then it's not the real you, is it? rating the audio profiles is one thing, but unless i'm wrong, your text profile is meant to be a personal thing, where you let people read about you.
