FF Blog: New member profiles coming soon

"If you don

Ok... since transparency seems to be the New Thing, why don't you guys get really serious & add a members previous username history as well?

Anybody with a history of abusing FF rules & policies, getting either banned or sent to the Commercial section & then coming back again (and again) ought to be confirmed as such by FF Admin. And if not, then why bother with trivial stuff like time zones for cryin' out loud?

I'd suggest starting with Mercy Seat, since I already did most of the leg work already on Post #1 of the "Tale of Two Mercies" thread in the Lounge, much of which was also confirmed by other FF members as well.

Personally, raising the bar on accountability makes more sense than knowing someone's time zone...

Brilliant work, thankyou FF.

I don't agree that it's "useful to know who a member is ignoring". I would prefer to keep that information private.

Now that I'm calmed down a bit, I gotta agree with MAXX above... People get ignored for way too many reasons, some of them as practical as keeping needless conflict out of a thread that you started by putting that person on the Iggy list. That's the only option FF has given us for blocking someone from posting, & really none of anybody's business why. The only one that would know that is the person themselves when they tried to post. I rarely (if ever) made an issue of it or advertised the fact, but it looks like FF is about to ignite the era of "The Iggy Wars"!! Heck, I used to instantly Iggy anybody who posted an oversize chart so it didn't blow up the thread making it impossible to read. How's that "compelling to know"? I really do think you guys have to explain this better considering the resources you must be spending on the changes...

Hmmmm.... on second thought, it will be interesting to see how many pages murky seat's Iggy list will take up, since only like 5 people at FF can post there & everyone else is blocked! That should be EPIC!! I hereby withdraw all previous comments and will make PM Jaywalker, Bemac, to get the popcorn ready... you guys will probably need to hire a few more mods & buy new servers to handle the ruckus that gets started when everyone starts unfriending, re-friending, ignoring, un-ignoring and whatever else we can do that will all be getting reported to us...

I like the idea of public ignore lists on FF. Since the ignore list is also used to block members from posting on certain threads. We should be allowed to see who is abusing this function and therefore shouldn't be trusted.

Can you please change the drop down lists in the editable profile sections so that they are in alphabetical order. I was looking for Dukascopy as my prefered provider but had to give up going through the unordered list.

new ignore button putting people without Confirmation server side confirmation would be nice

The new subscription box is terrible!!!

The main thing I always check when visiting FF are my subscriptions to see updated posts - now they are in a tiny box?!?! It's awful - please give me back a nice big subscription page!!!!

So what is this "Additional Username" crap? and how to find the other usernames of those user?

Does it mean some legalized/allowed "multiple usernames"?
AFAIK multiple usernames are/were not allowed on FF?

aint it?
