Hi,
Alot of profile basically have no information, so are people not confident or hiding. Given the amount of potential for fraud and identity theft there days. I think we need an ability to prevent profiles looking at ours and content if they are not 100 complete and do not have a threshold of activity.
BWL.
Hi Bigwideland,
We do have members who choose not to fill out or verify their profiles. Whether that’s because they’re shy, security-conscious, or for reasons that may be less genuine, we can never know a user’s exact intentions.
That said, we do have certain checks in place for example, if a user hasn’t uploaded an avatar, they can’t send messages. We could consider adding further measures, such as making profiles invisible to members who don’t meet specific profile completion or activity requirements. I’ll suggest this idea to hiccupx for consideration.
If implemented, I imagine it could be an opt-in feature, something like a “Make my profile invisible to blank profiles” setting.
In the meantime, I encourage members to verify their accounts. Verified accounts are searchable, so when you contact someone, you can see they’ve submitted photo proof confirming they are who they claim to be.
Please also report any suspicious accounts to the moderator team using the abuse report feature if required.
Thank you for your suggestion!
