    Default User profile website field abuse

    I have seen many users putting "google.com" and "besthostingforums.com" in their website field. Does it make any sense? I think this field should be used only for the sites you "own", not the sites you admire; there's a difference. In my opinion, a rule should be made for this.
    Also, we can have another field for "Favourite websites" where you can add links to whatever site you like.
    But putting links of sites you don't even "own" is meaningless, and in a way, its "abusing" the feature.

    Respected Developer
    I asked el_jentel1 what the website(s) field was for ages ago, he replied that members can add sites they visit frequently, admire, or even if it's their own website. I at first thought it was for websites owned ONLY, but back then he said it was for anything (obv nothing against rules). It should really be sites owned only, if it's for favourite sites etc - They can use their signature to list that.. we don't need a special field for members to put the sites they like etc.

    Maybe, KWWHTech could enhance the modification so that if they list a website in the website(s) field, it asks you to upload a file on the server to verify it is your site... just a suggestion.

    Yes, we need not have a special field just to put in your favourite sites, sig can make up for it, but still, we should not be putting google.com as our site LOL. Trust me, its not our site

    We actually consider suggestions if the majority think that the amendment/modification should be added, we then have a staff discussion and come to a decision.

    Yep, this is exactly what's gonna happen.

    Besides, most of the Changes that have been made to KWWH lately have been like 'Brownie Points' Changes.

    There were some cosmetic changes, like Rounded corners, which are still inconsistent.
    Most boxes have rounded corners at the bottom.
    When creating/editing threads, the boxes don't have rounded corners at the bottom.

    Even if this is a good suggestion, considering this trend, I am assuming the next in line is vbExperience, or things like that.


    On topic, I think it would be a huge task to verify if a guy owns a website.

    It wouldn't actually be that hard to verify ownership. They could simple insist on users uploading a blank file like KWWHunction_USERIDHERE.txt to their website, and simply running a script that checks the file exists. Similar to how you verify ownership of a site in google webmaster tools etc..

    Same reason for all of these, its against the rules.
