what keeps you from visiting a profile? Is one click too much?
when I'm reading a long thread where I need to know if each of the users posted in is trustworthy (like in securities forum), yes a click for each post is a lot
Date registered is not a good guide for trustworthiness, as an old account could just be a dormant account which was recently hacked. I usually use
Activity as a quick indicator then review recent posts to detemine whether someone is trustworthy or not, but unfortunately this takes alot of clicks and alot more time.
Like I said Activity is good but I'd like the registered date too, and also total posts number wouldn't hurt. Obviously none of this information is sufficient to ensure the reliability of a user and a search in his posts is mandatory, but I think most information you can quickly get, easier become follow long threads.
But if I'm the only one to think that, just lock and trash
