Suggestion: Maybe let the wall-owner firstly approve the wall post before letting it go public?

Question

You know, when the wall owner gets a new message, instead of it going public straight away they firstly have to approve it to go public. This is maybe so if, for example, someone posts an email address and they don't want anyone to see it the wall owner can delete the message and make sure nobody sees it except them.

I dunno, a minor suggestion. x3

will it by like:" you got 5 posts awaiting approval" or will it be a annoying popup thing? because the ladder would be way too spammy

Yeah, I was imagine either '5 post awaiting approval' or all the unapproved wall posts appearing in a different colour.

---

I like this.

---

This sounds cool, but there should be an option to turn off the approval thing. I can just delete what I don't like.

---

Tbh, I dont really see the point in this idea. Guess thats just me though...

---

No one would like me to give E Mails. But a on-off button and a good idea

---

How's this for an add-on to the idea: users you've favourited (Y'know, enabled with that yellow star?) don't have to be approved on wall posts to your profile. That way you pre-determine who you trust without requiring too much extra programming.

Just shootin' out ideas! Who even uses those favourites stars anyway?

---

While I like this idea, it seems like it would simply be changing something for sake of changing it. There's no real reason to do it besides just doing it.

---

Convenience, you mean to say? Not all changes need a hardcore reason. Convenience is the inspiration of many inventions.

---

This feels more of an inconvenience than a good thing tbh

---

That's my point. Convenient for what? Walls aren't meant for sending private messages. There would be a PM system if Pokemaster wanted that. Outside of that there is no reason to add this. It would be more of an inconvenience for Pokemaster to add than it would be a convenience once it was installed. I see your point, and it's a good one, but I'm going to agree to disagree.

---

If there is some information you don't want others to see on your wall, I think the safest option would be to note down that post somewhere else, and then just delete the post. That's how I did it anyway.

Answer 1

There will be a private message system added in the next couple months so that would take care of your particular example. I don't see a need for approving wall post, the whole point is they are meant to be public.

Yay!!!!

Oh, if a PM system is coming under way then yeah this suggestion is useless. xD
Thank you. :3
