Regarding the message inquiry: Great input! AoNoYoru and KafkaAmStrand have good arguments.

@KafkaAmStrand: What's the reason you want to message someone without being connected to them? AoNoYoru mentioned some of the reason why I personally want to leave the way it is. But I also want to understand your POV, KafkaAmStrand.

If your reasons are valid, then I can imagine something like this: Users with a certain reputation level (e.g. membership duration and a certain ratio of "thank-you"s and posts) should be able to post anyone here. This will foster good content and users are still save from spamming via PMs.

I can't promise you anything, because:
1. I want to implement other things. So, the message feature is not very high on my priority list.
2. I need the permission of tenshi. He's quite busy with other things.
3. I'm not sure about the details yet, or whether this system is save or prone to abuse. (I just made up the system as I read your posts. ). So, if you see some weaknesses, then just say so. It's your site after all.

Bye

The reputation level based on the number of thanks you'd get might be a bit skewered cause of the content that people post and the things that they decide to "Thank". Someone could probably write a bunch of hilarious comments and those who'd laugh at it might just throw a like but for others who think of ideas or generate constructive criticism might be skipped over because of the "tl;dr" concept. Just scroll right through that post.

I understand that Kafka wants private messaging to be open and he did make a good point that people can message on others' walls, send a connection request and then be able to private message without being accepted but if the barrier were to be lowered, wouldn't that give creeps a simpler life? Who'd want that lol ~ That's my reasoning.

Perhaps a reputation level or meter, whatever you'd like to call it, would be faced by input of others. It's not really the best way though. Still thinking on it.

LOL. Yeah, personally the amount of posts that certain people perceive as "funny" is annoying. XD Having said that, maybe we add certain buttons where people can express their opinion, meaning you have the "LOL"-button for the not so serious content. And you have the "thank you" (or another) button for the serious/positive/construcitve critique content.

I'm just throwing ideas here and open to discuss/brainstorm.

it might give some trolls the power to abuse those buttoms and it might affect the reputation system when you putting this feature up.

Yeah I agree to this point if based on reputation button being the Thank You button. Trolls will create more accounts, abuse the Thank You button and then mods will end up with extra workload trying to figure out who to ban.

Keep in mind the reputation system would consist of:
1. membership duration (e.g. one year)
2. ratio of "thanked serious content" and posts, starting with e.g. 100 posts

Trolls would have to have patient and put in a lot of effort to overcome these hurdles. Again, I'm just brainstorming here.
