    On most forums I've participated in or managed, Profile Posts are easily missed and are open to abuse. I'd like to disable them. Objections?

    Would that also disable signatures, Feldon? I do like signatures, but could care less about other profile posts.

    Your boards - if it gives you one less thing to moderate, I'm all for disabling them.

    I've had people leave an important message on my Profile page on other forums in the past and I didn't notice it for 3 years.

    OOh now I see a little message people will see if they click on our avatar. Hmm almost like a private joke and I see people abusing it, but really who will see it that doesn't want to see it?

    I promise that my Profile posts will only ever be duck related! Does that make it okay? ;)

    It currently shows in the Sidebar on the front of the forum.

    Ok now i'm even more confused. I thought I had it figured out but now huh? I went to my profile page and to other people's and I don't see anywhere to leave a message, so not seeing one for years could happen I suppose. Are you wanting to take them away completely or not have them show up on the front page?

    I'm indifferent about it.

    There's a little "Write something..." box there if you look carefully.
    I don't know that they serve much purpose. Not trying to censor anyone, just trying to avoid a lot of confusion for very little benefit.

    What all would be disabled? On the EQ2 forums I sometimes go to look at threads I started or posted in trying to find something that I remember that would be useful to find again. I haven't looked to see if that is available here or if it is located in the profile.

    Oh wait......Are you just wanting to remove the ability to post something in the profile? If that's the case, go for it. I can see where that would be confusing and of little practical use.

    I'm strictly talking about each user's profile wall. It's vaguely like Facebook

    Yes you can click on someone's avatar or profile and get back to threads they've participated in. One of my favorite features too. All the same features you're familiar with on the official forums (and more) can be found here.
