is it possible we can add profile comments for "User" and "Maps" pages? (No need to have journal comments for obvious reason each journal is commentable)

e.g.:

I'd probably have to say that journal comments and private messages take care of anything that you might want to post on someone's profile. So I'm going to have to give this notion a thumbs down.

journal comments mean you'd have to be responding to one of their journal posts so that doesn't really cover anything, and pms are just meh if you just "say hi" or comment directly on their profile.

Or, what about having it set up like journals and maps, on a tab-like thing.

Ha! Made it look natural! Like the Coder himself implemented it.

this is so pointless. Most members are part of the steam community. Use that for idle chatter - everything else is already catered for.

Yes, but you can't access Steam from every computer you come across. You can access TWHL though. So, I support this idea.

Meh. One of the reasons I like this site is because it hasn't jumped on the mimicing-social-networking-sites bandwagon. Besides, apart from "Hi", it will rarely be used at all, and nigh on never used productively. There's not much point.

I can't imagine what you would post on someone's profile that wouldn't pertain to a journal, thread, or PM. Everything else would either go in the shoutbox or would just be spam. That includes saying "hi" for the sake of saying "hi."

Those two posts's arguments make absolutely no sense. A journal is limited to a single topic and a PM is a two-way discussion. If neither you or anybody else honestly see what a profile comment system could do that a PM system or journal comment system can't then I don't know what to say.

Now that's not to say it's so important it deserves to be added, but comparing PM's and journals to it? Idiotic.

Crollo is the kind of person that gets pulled out of special ed because it's too difficult.

I would vote no for the same reasons as Darkie.

Fair enough, seems like most people are not for this.

I guess I just really like tge functionality to add comments to almost any page on the site, because I feel it can only add to the content's deliciousness, not detract from it.

Just keep shakin' the red stick and you'll be fine.

As for the OP... I don't see the point either. On the other hand, you could add a "poke" feature. :P

I am indifferent. But it seems to me that the correct way would be to make a poll and not selecting 2 minor opinions as an example.

The correct way is for me to make my own decision, which I did. It just so happens that somebody else had already explained why it's not happening. So while you may say it's based on "2 minor opinions", it's really based on one major opinion: mine.

Comments on profiles would just be used for spam (even CapT seems to agree with this, considering his initial example). Not only that, profile bio's change often so comments on them would just be irrelevant and not make sense after it changes.

Why does everyone hate Crollo so much?

On topic: I don't really see myself using a comments system like that, I'd have to say nay to this, not that it's a bad idea just not needed, not as much as other stuff.
Posted 12 years ago2011-09-07 21:20:05 UTC Post #298725
If I remember correctly, mainly because of this guy and this guy. Who were Crollo. Proof here. (Pretty sure Yodalman was banned.) But also because he still says pretty stupid or ignorant stuff sometimes. Personally, I don't hate him. I'm merely irritated by him.

We should totally abandon TWHL and move our operations to Facebook. That way we'd have profile comments, friend requests, more private messages, personal photos, etc.
Posted 12 years ago2011-09-14 07:40:08 UTC Post #298931
Comparing a comment bar on twhl to facebook is really just kind of stupido. We have comments for every other damn thing on the site pretty much anyway.

But since the idea has already been squashed, my attempt to defend adding more comment functionality (spam tools) is highly dubious. =|
