| Topic | Why can't I go to anyone's profile and see their active messages anymore? |

It's just used to stalk people zebatov posted... Its a bad idea and it shouldnt even be an option to show it. In theory it could be useful to see what sort of topics people were posting in and figure out which accounts were blatant gimmick trolls, but in practice the trolls would set their profiles to private to avoid getting caught that way. So it did basically become a feature that exists more or less solely to harass other users. Not sad to see it go, though I'm surprised GameFAQs was actually competent enough to realize it was a problem and actually fix it. Nichtcrawler X posted... Pretty sure it used to be the norm ten years ago for message boards, GF was just way behind in implementing it. Reddit still does it. In GameFAQs' desperate thirst to catch even a fraction of the userbase of sites like Reddit or Twitter, aping all their features (for good or ill) is pretty much inevitable. I'm kind of surprised we haven't added upvoting/downvoting and tied it to Karma yet. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard! |
