First of all, I think there needs to be a general topics forum for discussion of everything from movies to news to personal life outside of the spam section. It seems that the only place to discuss non-creative/technical or site related matters is in the spam zone.

Also, you should be able to select musician or music maker or something to that effect as your profession. Or even better, simply being able to fill out the profession with text. Possibly add writer if you feel like it.

Just a couple suggestions for you guys to mull over. Thanks!

@first suggestion
Well you can use the 'spam' section for that, don't get me wrong here, you won't get a penalty for spamming.
The only difference is that you won't get XP for a spam post that's basically all, it's not that KB will terrorize your life as soon as you have 100 spam posts :P

So basically it's to show how many 'non community related' posts someone has
You can also make blogs for personal life btw.

But if you disagree let me know we're always open for changes, but then also tell me what you think it should be.


Second suggestion,
Sounds good, but don't you think that will get people to fill use 'useless' stuff?
Any idea of how to keep some sort of integrity?

Thanks for the input btw =] really appreciate it.

Please let me know if you've more suggestions or if you disagree with me =]

I guess I could go over to the spam section, but I've always been avoidant (Totally just made up that word) to spam sections. I don't really think that that forum belongs in that section, to be honest. You may want to change the introduction section to a "General Discussion" section, and move other there.

I can definitely see it evolving to a user title sort of thing where they put whatever they think is funny. From one point of view, this isn't all that bad. It adds one more level of customization. From another point of view, it kinda defeats the purpose of it in the first place. If you do do that, you may just want to make it unto a user title, and scratch the profession alltogether. You could just make it a reportable offense to make your professions something stupid (underwater basket weaver), and lock their privileges of changing it from "member" or whatever you want as the default. This would, of course, require more work from the mods and you guys, so I totally understand if you don't think it's a viable option. Just brainstorming ;)

Anyway, thanks!
