User profiles/settings: How about a photo
-
It would be really cool if people can upload their photo to CP which will be displayed in the user profiles. (2b || !2b)

But then you'd have the idiots out there uploading pr0n or junk like goatse.cx to their profiles. X| --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ Ford: How would you react if I said that I'm not from Guildford after all, but from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelguese? Arthur: I don't know. Why, do you think it's the sort of thing you're likely to say?

Funny you should mention this - Mike Dunn and I have just been talking about this. I like the idea but don't want to have to police it. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

You can minimize the problem that you and Mike are talking about by: - Allowing only a fixed format to be uploaded, e.g. 100x100 JPG. - Putting a link to the photo instead of a thumbnail. That way the viewer will have to explicitly click on the photo, which means that you can put a small disclaimer at the bottom of the page warning of potential explicit content. - Create an email address (which you should already have) abuse@codeproject.com, which you can display at the bottom of the photo. That way users will be able to report porn/goats immediately. - Have the feature running for a trial period, and see how it goes. If you notice abuse, remove the feature. It really sucks that you have to moderate the content on CP. IMO you should let the users report offensive content, and then act upon those reports rather than have to moderate everything. To safegaurd yourselves you should also speak to a lawyer to see what kind of disclaimer texts you should add to avoid lawsuits should someone decide to pick on you. Its a pity to see functionality decrease because of the few people who abuse (I'm sure that many other ideas/features have been dismissed due to fear of abuse). However, you know best. I'm confident that you know what you're doing. (2b || !2b)
