SuprBay: Some profile fields

[hireshi]

Used both normal and advanced search, but couldn't find anything related.

Allow us to add some infos like favorite music, movie, or basic interests? Or even favorite TPB uploader?
As a person (and hopefully not the only one) who wants to contribute to the forum, as well as TPB main site, its more interesting, even if I see what the person's hobbies are, when I tick their profile.
Or what kind of shows they've got listed as favorite, what kind of music they like, just a little field of anything.

Long story short, basically User CP > Edit Profile > tumbleweed.
Remove the tumbleweed and add some candy.

"Candy" ends up being used more by spammers than by actual users.

The default MyBB setup includes a few more fields for personal infos.

In the previous incarnation of SB, the majority of times those fields were ever used they were loaded by bots that would sign up, fill the fields with spam, and never return.

If people want to share their interests, they can do so as part of discussion.

Yeah I read the signature thread.
isn't there anything one could do though? Like I personally wouldn't mind the current state in the long run. But if there's something that could be done, surely the profile infos are a nice feature.

Like a minimum reputation level, and it has to be from users using different IP or whatever. ¨

I wasn't around on the old piratebay forum, but I saw the archive. So I don't know to what extent the bot problem was, apart from apparently forcing certain features to be disabled.

It's not really about bots, it's about relevance. This isn't a dating site--nobody gives a fuck what sort of music you like and if you're the sort of person who needs to have strangers private messaging you saying, "Oooh, I see that you're a My Little Pony fan, I sooooohhhhh love them too. Can you be my BFF?" then frankly most people here (and all the ones who count) would rather you got frustrated, fed up and left.

If you want to share your MLP soundtrack albums, by all means create a thread in "Promote Your Torrents"

If you want to request MLP soundtrack albums, feel free to create a thread in "Requests"

If you really must discuss your appalling taste in music, create a "wots ure favolissimo MLP track eva?" thread in "Music" and, who knows, it might even turn out to be interesting.

But if you're looking for a girlfriend of either sex just go to your mother's house like the rest of the guys on your block.

With the frequency of the word penis being thrown around in the Void one would wonder....

That's why I stay out of the void: I prefer tacos to hotdogs.

I guess neither are relevent. A measure of decorum might be though....

But I heard this is where all the Bronies are. That's why I joined.

The relative dominance of the spam was an indication of how irrelevant any extra fields are. No one but spam bots could be bothered to fill them out.



Also, penis tacos.
