WHY YOU SHOULD USE YOUR PROFILE!!
I just wanted to take a few moments to speak my mind about user Profiles. I visit several forums everyday and several blogs. I find that most people do not take the time to fill in their user Profiles.
I personally feel that it is the user Profile that will establish a air of honesty and trust among the members of a forum or blog. With so many not taking the time to fill them out it makes me feel as though those users do not want you to know anything about them but they think that you should listen to what they have to say about a topic that you are reading and may reply to or maybe you are the one that started the topic. I for one always check the profile so as to feel more comfortable accepting what that person has to say. I do realize that you really do not know them and more than likely you never will meet them or get to know them, however if you can get a little information about them from their profile you can feel a little better about accepting what they have to say.
I do not want to give the names of the forums but lets talk a little about why I feel this way. First if I am looking for advice or comments on what I feel is an adult subject matter how can I take the comments of a thirteen year old serious? I mean really if I want to know how readers feel about a problem in the work place, or with a relationship, or even about an aging problem what does a teenager know about any of these things? They have not lived life long enough to make an intelligent comment. Most forums that allow teens to be members have sections that only teens can enter and I think that is fantastic, what with all the predators on the net. However these same forums do not restrict the teens from going into topics that should exclude them. This is why I use the profiles on a regular basis and I do not respond to teens nor do I consider their input on topics that I feel they have no place submitting any input.
So I for one would like to see more people using the profile section that is provided for the members . I think this may in fact create a friendlier atmosphere as well as helping all the members feel closer to one another therefore inspiring them to open up more to each other. Let me know how you feel by posting in the comments section, and be sure to sign my guestbook and let me know how you found my blog and what you think of it. Well I have spoken my mind and it's time to bid you all farewell for today.
Until The Next Time May You & Yours Be Blessed Always!!
