Private Profiles The option to change your profile to 'Private' should be reserved for staff use ONLY and, at that point, just removed totally. It's quite suspicious when a user has a private profile and causes this issue where others may not send them a PM. Please remove this for the sake of my sanity. Thank you.
I personally agree, however I need some more opinions. However, what's your reasoning for making it staff only?
You can add features such as; whether or not registered members can view your profile, or possibly the ability to "Block" people from your profile. If the above ideas are already implemented, I apologize as I haven't explored the settings too much.
