    After looking at this thread and this one I thought to myself, "I should totally make a new idea too!"

    This concept is fairly simple. The only problem is I am not sure if XenForo can deliver. Once a person creates an application a link will be created, near the bottom, that people can click on. What does this new and shiny link do you ask? Easy! It takes you to the applicant's newly opened profile application commenting section. The title could be along the lines of "So and so's (name of application) comment section."
    Players will then be able to write and post their thoughts about the application here.

    The reason I went with this idea.
    1.) Players can finally critique applications!
    2.) Having it in the owner's profile makes it so they can delete unnecessary remarks.

    Some other details.
    1.) The section would be up for posting as long as the thread is not locked.
    2.) Multiple comment sections for different threads. Distinguishable by different thread titles.
    3.) What the tab section could look like on one's profile.

    And thoughts on how to make this better?

    This would be great in my opinion. This allows members of the community to give feedback on applications now which is great, so that they can get a lot more advice from different types of people. One thing I would say is, is that the person commenting would have to give constructive criticism, and not just a plain -1. I also think this section should be moderated, as flame could begin, and also useless posts / comments.

    I actually really like this idea, the only issue would be cluttering up a players profile page. I would defiantly love the members of our community to be able to share their opinions on a another players application in a way other than voting.

    Players would inevitably post of unwanted comments, that is a given. The is the beauty of it, dear friend, is self moderation! The profile owner will be able to freely delete comments they wish to exclude. This will give the person applying a sense of what it can be like to moderate, staff can get a broad picture of how the player handles things by what they delete, and in general will clean up the negative and unwanted posts leaving nothing but goodwill if they so desire.

    Since it is a side section of the player's profile the comments would only be viewable through that one tab section. :smile:
    I totally agree with keeping things neat and tidy.

    So you mean on their profile page their would be a place to click that would bring you to a separate page where application comments could be posted?

    Think about it like this. Once you click on the tab it will bring you to a similar place you can comment. It will still be apart if the person profile. The only difference is that one is for specifically for application criticism.
    The link will be on the application thread as well and will take you to this new tab in the owner's profile.

    This. No.
    Owners shouldn't be able to delete feedback, it's as if, hey, you said something I don't like? I don't like your feedback? K, deleted. Full mod on /sp/ style.
    If anything, Moderators themselves should be the ones who can or can't delete the feedback, seeing as it stands at the moment they really don't have that much forums power or related.

    Otherwise, I like it. I can finally shoot people down again.

    That is the whole point this idea gravitates around.
    If ten people respond with "no" those messages can go. That is why public commenting was taken down in the first place. Or if something is being really nasty that could go as well.
    All these suggestions about public comments are trying to fix the reason why it was stopped in the first place. With my idea the owner can hold the power to keep their received comments clean. If they wish it of course.

    I understand what you are saying and I agree that someone eventually will delete a posts based on what you said. Others would more than likely see this and that would only add, even if al little, to the over all feel of the application.
    You could even make it so staff can see what messages were deleted. That would solve your dilemma.
    The problem with having moderators do this is what should be deleted to them is not something the owner wants. Maybe the owner wants it to stay so they can have a reference later on. Plus moderators would have to go through the whole process of deleting a post which would add more clutter.

    I really like this idea. I feel this will give people who apply have a better understanding of what needs to be done to make a better app than just getting a response from the staff but from the community as a whole.
